All data collected by Decksmith is used exclusively to provide you with the app's functionality:

  • Deck Building: To validate and manage your deck lists
  • Price Tracking: To fetch and display current market prices from Scryfall
  • Preferences: To remember your settings (currency, language)

Important: Since all data is stored locally on your device, we have no access to it. Your data never leaves your iPhone.

3. Third-Party Services

Scryfall API

Decksmith uses the Scryfall API to:

  • Search for Magic: The Gathering cards
  • Download card images and data
  • Fetch current price information

When you search for cards, requests are sent directly to Scryfall. Please review Scryfall's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle requests.

Apple TestFlight

During the beta period, Decksmith is distributed via Apple's TestFlight. Apple may collect crash reports and usage data as outlined in Apple's Privacy Policy.

4. Data Storage & Security

  • Local Storage: All data is stored in your device's secure local database using Apple's SwiftData framework
  • No Cloud Sync: We do not currently sync your data to the cloud (this may be an optional feature in the future)
  • Device Security: Your data is protected by your device's encryption and security measures
  • Backups: Your data is included in your device's iCloud or iTunes backups (controlled by you)

  • Right to Rectification: You can edit or correct your data within the app
  • Right to Erasure: You can delete all your data by uninstalling the app

Since all data is stored locally on your device and we have no access to it, you have complete control and don't need to contact us to exercise these rights.

6. Children's Privacy

Decksmith is suitable for all ages. Since we don't collect personal information, there are no special considerations for users under 16 years old. However, we recommend that parents or guardians supervise young users when downloading apps via TestFlight.
