Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

PuzzleBro doesn't collect any personal information. We have no servers and never receive your photos, progress or anything else about you.

No accounts, no tracking

There are no sign-ins, analytics, advertising or tracking of any kind.

Your photos stay yours

When you make a puzzle from your own photo, you choose it with Apple's photo picker. PuzzleBro only receives the photo you pick and saves a copy on your device so you can play it. If you turn on iCloud sync, the copy is also kept in your own private iCloud (see below). It is never sent to us or anyone else.

Your progress

Puzzles in progress, your puzzle wall, best times, streaks, badges and settings are saved on your device.

iCloud sync (optional)

If iCloud sync is on (Settings → iCloud), PuzzleBro keeps your progress, puzzle wall and your own photos in your private iCloud Drive space so they appear on your other devices. This data is stored by Apple under your Apple Account and can only be read by you and PuzzleBro on your devices. We can't see it. Turn it off any time in Settings.

Puzzling together (SharePlay)

When you start or join a shared puzzle, the people in that SharePlay session receive what they need to play: the puzzle's size and cut, piece moves, and the picture (for your own photos, the photo is sent to them through the session). SharePlay is provided by Apple and is end-to-end encrypted. Nothing is sent to us.

Game Center (optional)

If you're signed in to Game Center, PuzzleBro reports your achievements and leaderboard scores (puzzles finished, pieces placed, fastest 100-piece time) to Apple's Game Center under your Game Center profile. Game Center is run by Apple; we don't receive any information about you. Turn it off any time in Settings.

Box helper and the camera

The Box helper uses the camera, only when you ask it to, to photograph a puzzle box and pieces. These photos are analysed on your device and the box photo is kept on your device until you replace it. They are never uploaded.

Places map

For photos from the free library, PuzzleBro looks up where they were taken on Wikimedia Commons. For your own photos, it reads the location saved in the photo, if there is one. To show place and country names, it asks Apple's map service about those coordinates. The results are saved only on your device, and nothing about you is sent with the lookup.

Free photo library

To show real photos, PuzzleBro downloads pictures from Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org). Like any website, Wikimedia receives standard technical information needed to deliver them, such as your device's IP address. PuzzleBro doesn't send Wikimedia anything about you. See the Wikimedia Foundation privacy policy at wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy.

Children

PuzzleBro is suitable for all ages and collects no information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page and in the app.
