GameFrame privacy policy

About this policy

GameFrame is operated by Calkins Design LLC in Indianapolis, Indiana. This policy describes how the GameFrame app handles information when you create, save, and share gameday cards. Privacy requests can be sent to [email protected].

Photos, camera, and photo information

You choose photos using the iOS photo picker or take a new photo using the camera. GameFrame requests Photos read/write permission to retrieve the selected photo’s date and location, including edits made in Photos, and to save cards to Photos. You can grant limited or full Photos access. GameFrame reads the photo you select rather than scanning your entire library.

Photos are processed on your device and are not uploaded for game identification. GameFrame reads photo date and GPS metadata to help identify a game. Some information derived from that metadata is used in the online lookups described below.

Game details and online services

GameFrame first matches photo coordinates against a venue catalog bundled with the app. This matching happens locally. To find or enrich game details, the app also uses these services:

• Apple Maps: can receive a search region centered on the photo’s coordinates to look for nearby venues.
• ESPN: receives league and date queries and game identifiers to retrieve game information.
• MLB: receives date-range queries when needed to find games.
• Apple WeatherKit: receives venue coordinates and game time to retrieve weather information.

These services do not receive your photo. Online requests also expose network information such as your IP address to the receiving service. Providers handle requests under their own privacy practices; this policy does not promise that they immediately delete request information.

OpenAI recap generation and TheSportsDB integrations are inactive in the current release configuration. GameFrame does not send information to those integrations in this configuration.

Local storage and backups

Imported originals, finished cards, and game details are stored locally on your device. Widgets use local copies in the app’s shared container. GameFrame does not provide app-managed cloud sync or store this content on developer-operated servers.

Local records remain until you delete them. Your device backups may include app data. Cards saved to Photos may sync through your iCloud Photos settings. Photos copies and backups are managed separately and may remain after you delete an item from GameFrame or remove the app.

Accounts, purchases, and analytics

GameFrame does not require sign-in or create a GameFrame account. The current release configuration has no active third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDKs.

GameFrame uses Apple StoreKit to support a one-time Pro purchase. Premium access restrictions are currently disabled. There is no subscription or third-party purchase-management service. Apple handles any App Store payment processing.

Sharing your cards

Sharing uses the standard iOS share sheet. GameFrame does not upload cards to its own sharing service or create public links. The app or destination you choose handles subsequent transfer and storage under its own privacy practices. Review the photo and game details included in a card before sharing it.

Your choices and deletion

You can delete saved GameFrames within the app, disable automatic saving to Photos, and change or revoke Photos, Camera, and Location permissions in iOS Settings. Restricting permissions can limit features that depend on them.

Deleting a saved GameFrame does not delete the original photo or exported copies in Photos. Deleting the app removes its local app data. Manage Photos copies, previously shared files, and existing backups separately through the relevant apps or services. There is no GameFrame account to delete.

Contacting us

If you email us for support or a privacy request, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. Please send only the information needed to explain your request, and avoid including sensitive information in screenshots.

To ask about information held by Calkins Design LLC or request access, correction, or deletion, email [email protected]. We cannot retrieve content stored only on your device or delete copies held by services you chose for sharing or backups.

Audience and policy changes

GameFrame is intended for a general audience in the United States and is not specifically directed to children.

We will update this policy when the app’s information practices change and identify the updated date on this page.
