Where an
assignment goes.
Assignments stay in the Android app’s local storage. This policy follows them from creation to removal, then explains the separate website.

What this policy covers
This policy describes Handspan, the Android cooperative puzzle app, and the separately supplied Handspan website. It explains what the implementation stores and what changes when a website is hosted.
02 / Data handling
Your puzzle assignments
The app stores the selected helper and round for each task, together with the last undertaking and screen you opened. These values support returning to an unfinished puzzle.
03 / Data handling
Working preferences
The Reduce motion preference is stored locally so the app can apply your chosen interaction style when you return.
04 / Data handling
Preserved runs
When you choose Preserve this run, the app keeps a snapshot of that undertaking’s assignment. Reopening it restores that snapshot into the working puzzle. Later edits do not change the preserved snapshot until you preserve a new run.
05 / Data handling
Data transmission
The Android app has no Internet permission, network client, analytics SDK or advertising SDK. It does not send your assignments or preferences to a server.
06 / Data handling
Names and accounts
Handspan does not request an account, email address or personal profile. Ari, Bo and Kit are characters in its puzzles; their labels are not entries about real employees or participants.
07 / Data handling
Where values are stored
Assignments, preserved runs and preferences are saved in Android SharedPreferences within the app’s private storage. Other ordinary apps do not have direct access to that private storage.
08 / Data handling
Removing local data
Use Android Settings to clear Handspan’s storage, or uninstall Handspan, to remove its local assignments, preserved runs and preferences. Clearing storage resets the app; it cannot restore those values afterward.
09 / Data handling
Backup and device changes
Android backup is disabled for this application. Handspan does not provide cloud synchronization or an in-app export. A new installation should not be relied on to contain a previous installation’s puzzle state.
10 / Data handling
The companion website
The supplied website presents app information and this policy. Its pages do not include a contact form, account system, analytics, advertising, cookies or browser-storage features. The Android app does not automatically load these pages.
11 / Data handling
Device security
Android’s app sandbox helps separate the app’s local data. Device access, operating-system security and any privileged access remain outside Handspan’s control. No system can guarantee absolute security.
12 / Data handling
If the website is hosted
A hosting provider may receive standard request information, such as IP address, requested page and browser details. The publisher should identify its chosen hosting provider and applicable practices before making the website available.
13 / Data handling
Puzzle content and audience
The app’s undertakings are creative coordination puzzles. They do not collect information about actual teams or provide personnel scheduling services. The app does not ask children or adults to submit personal information.
14 / Data handling
Permissions and device access
Handspan requests no Android permissions. It does not access contacts, location, camera, microphone, shared files or device identifiers through permission-protected APIs.
15 / Data handling
How long values remain
Local values remain until replaced by later app actions, removed through Android’s storage controls, or removed with the installation. A newly preserved run replaces the prior preserved run for the same undertaking.
16 / Data handling
Policy changes
This policy is dated September 6, 2026 and describes version 1.0.0. A future release that changes data handling should be accompanied by an updated policy and relevant publisher disclosures.

Questions about a published version
For questions about a published copy, use the publisher contact information displayed with that copy in its distribution listing.
18 / Data handling
A practical summary
Your puzzle choices support local continuation and preserved runs. The Android implementation does not transmit them. Clearing the app’s storage removes them. Website hosting, if later added, has its own request-handling context.
