Veivalg is an offline route-choice training game for orienteers. It generates its own practice terrain, times the routes you draw, and keeps your season results on your device. It does not record your location, does not track a real event, and does not connect to the internet to function.
Veivalg does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any of the following: your name, email address, location, contacts, browsing history, advertising identifiers, or any other personal or usage data. The app contains no analytics software development kit, no advertising network, and no tracking pixel of any kind. Apple's App Privacy label for Veivalg reads "Data Not Collected."
To keep the game working the way you expect between sessions, Veivalg stores the following information locally, using Apple's on-device storage frameworks. None of it ever leaves your device:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Course results, splits and drawn routes | So your season calendar, personal bests and milestones are still there the next time you open the app |
| Photo-map thumbnails | A small on-device copy of a practice map you generated from a photo, so you can run it again later |
| App settings | Sound, music and haptics toggles, left-handed pen, map zoom, and your reminder preference |
This data is stored using Apple's Core Data and UserDefaults frameworks directly on your iPhone or iPad. Deleting the app deletes this data. Settings also include a "Reset season" option that clears it without deleting the app.
Veivalg's Photo Map feature lets you take a photo or choose one from your library so the app can turn its colours into a small practice map: green becomes thicket, yellow and brown become open land, and blue becomes water. This analysis happens entirely on your device. Only a small thumbnail of the resulting map is kept, stored locally as described above. The original photo is never uploaded anywhere, and Veivalg does not ask for continuous or background access to your camera or photo library — only when you choose to use this feature.
If you turn on morning reminders in Settings, Veivalg schedules local notifications directly on your device using Apple's notification framework. These notifications are generated and delivered entirely on-device; no reminder content or schedule is sent to any server, because Veivalg has no server.
Veivalg has no sign-in, no leaderboard, no in-app purchase, no advertising, and no online multiplayer. Every map in the game is generated terrain and never a real place, and the app does not use GPS or any location service.
Veivalg does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect information from anyone at all. The app is suitable for junior orienteers learning to read a map.
If this policy ever changes, an updated version will be published at this same address with a new "last updated" date. Continuing to use Veivalg after a change means you accept the revised policy.
