Your little world

Privacy in Acorn Hour.

Updated October 26, 2026 · Applies to Acorn Hour version 1.0.

Acorn Hour works without an app account. Your world is stored on your device.

Data on your device

The app stores tasks, focus-session state, earned coins, furnishings, room and garden layouts, and preferences locally. We do not run an Acorn Hour account service, advertising system, or tracking analytics in this release. This release does not send this local world data to an Acorn Hour server.

Apple purchases

Apple processes Complete World purchases through your App Store account. Native StoreKit checks eligible purchase ownership on your device. Acorn Hour does not receive your payment card details or Apple Account password. Apple's services are subject to Apple's privacy policy. Restoring purchases restores access to eligible content, not local saves.

Notifications and Live Activities

If you enable them, timer notifications and Live Activities may show your task, time remaining, and rewards on the Lock Screen. You can disable them in app or system settings. Acorn Hour plays audio without requesting microphone recording, and does not request tracking permission or access to contacts, photos, or location.

Backups and iCloud

This release stores the world locally and does not provide in-app cloud synchronization. Apple device backups may include app data depending on your system settings. Apple manages those backups. A purchase restore does not restore room data.

Support you choose to send

If you contact support, we receive the email address and information you choose to include, such as a description of a problem or a screenshot. We use that information to respond and resolve the request. Do not send passwords, payment card details, or private Apple Account credentials.

This website

This support website uses no advertising pixels or analytics scripts. The hosting provider processes the technical request information needed to deliver pages, such as IP addresses and request metadata. The website does not receive your saved room, tasks, or purchase receipt from the app.

Your choices

You can change your world and preferences in the app. Deleting the app removes local app data; system backups may retain copies under your Apple settings. A permanent App Store purchase remains associated with the purchasing Apple Account. Contact support if you want information you sent directly to support deleted, subject to any necessary legal retention.

Changes and questions

We will update this page when how the app handles data changes.

Email support@acornhour.com. Include your app version, device model, and what happened. Please do not send passwords, payment card details, or your Apple Account credentials.
