Privacy Policy

Last updated 26 September 2026

Quest Chronicle has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. There is no server run by the developer, and your library is never sent to him.

Where your library lives

On your device. Your games, play sessions, lists, tags, consoles and genres are stored on the device you entered them on.
In your own iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, the same data syncs between your devices through Apple's CloudKit, in your private database. It is covered by Apple's privacy policy, and the developer cannot read it.
Cover images are files on your device, copied between your devices through your iCloud Drive.
CSV files you import or export are ordinary files you choose, read and written only when you ask.

Connections you can turn on

The app works with none of these. Each is optional, off until you set it up, and uses a key or sign-in of your own that is stored in your device's Keychain. When one is on, the app sends only what that service needs to answer: usually a game title, or your own account identifier on that service.

Service	What is sent	What comes back
SteamGridDB steamgriddb.com	Game titles, with your own API key	Cover artwork
IGDB, through Twitch api.igdb.com, id.twitch.tv	Game titles, with your own Client ID and Secret	How long games take, scores, cover artwork
HowLongToBeat howlongtobeat.com	Game titles. Off unless you switch it on, and unofficial: it reads a page meant for browsers and can stop working without notice	How long games take, cover artwork
Steam api.steampowered.com	Your Steam ID and your own Steam Web API key	What you are playing and how long you have played it
Xbox, through OpenXBL xbl.io	Your own OpenXBL key	What you are playing and when you last played each game

OpenXBL is an independent service, not Microsoft. Using it means trusting that service with your Xbox account, which is why the app says so where you set it up, and why nothing happens until you choose to.

Siri and Shortcuts

If you allow it, you can log a session or add a game by voice. Siri handles the speech, which means the words you say go to Apple and are processed under Apple's privacy policy, not mine — the same as any other app you talk to. Quest Chronicle receives only the finished request, and your library is never sent anywhere as part of it. Declining costs you nothing else in the app, and you can change your mind in iOS Settings at any time.

What the app does not do

No analytics, crash reporting or advertising SDKs of any kind.
No location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera or health data.
No profile is built about you, and nothing is sold or shared.
Diagnostic logs stay on your device, and library content is redacted in release builds.

Children

Quest Chronicle is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.

Deleting your data

Settings has controls to delete your games, your sessions, or everything. Removing the app removes its local data; data in your iCloud is removed through Apple's own iCloud settings. Disconnecting a service in Settings deletes its key from your Keychain.
