RootTextPrivacy Policy
The short version: Lampstand keeps your data on your device. We do not have a copy of it, because it is never sent to us.
In plain terms
Lampstand collects no data and shares no data. It has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. Your progress, lists, and settings are written to your own device and stay there. The only personal information we ever handle is what you choose to send us when you write to support — and we use it only to reply. Planned online features will change parts of this in a future release — only with clear notice, never silently (section 16).
1. Who we are
RootText LLC is a limited liability company registered in the State of Wyoming, United States, and the publisher of Lampstand. Postal contact is via our registered agent:
RootText LLC
c/o Registered Agents Inc.
30 N Gould St, Ste R
Sheridan, WY 82801, United States
This address receives company correspondence only. For anything about our applications, please use support — it reaches us far faster.
2. What this policy covers
This policy covers the Lampstand application on every platform we publish it for, and the roottext.com website, including its support form. If we release further applications, each will either be covered by a revision of this policy that names it, or carry its own.
It describes Lampstand as it ships today. When a future release changes what we handle — section 16 lists the changes we already know are coming — a revised policy will take effect with that release and will say plainly which release it applies from, so if you stay on an earlier version, the policy that described it remains available in the dated archive.
3. What Lampstand collects: nothing
Lampstand does not create accounts, does not ask for your name or email address, and contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, and no tracking of any kind. It makes no network requests to RootText — there is no RootText server for it to talk to.
Everything the application records in use — your puzzle progress, stars, times, streaks, your verse lists, memorization list and topics, your settings, and its own on-device usage counters — is written to storage on your device and never leaves it, except when you explicitly export it yourself (see section 8).
App-store data-safety summary
On store data-safety and privacy questionnaires, Lampstand's answers are: no data collected · no data shared · no data sold. This policy is the long-form version of exactly those answers.
4. Data that stays on your device
| Information | Where it lives | Do we receive it? |
|---|---|---|
| Puzzle progress, stars, times, streaks | Your device | No |
| Your verse lists, memorization list, topics | Your device | No |
| Earned rewards, hints, achievements | Your device | No |
| Settings and preferences | Your device | No |
| On-device usage counters (see below) | Your device | No |
| Whether an optional upgrade was purchased | Your device + your app store | No — see section 6 |
| Name, email, address, contacts, photos, location | Not collected at all | No |
About those usage counters: Lampstand keeps a small local record of events like “the tutorial was finished” or “a first puzzle was solved”, which the app uses to behave sensibly (for example, not showing a first-run screen twice). These counters are ordinary app data on your device: they are never transmitted, and deleting the app's data deletes them. We mention them because a policy that says “nothing leaves your device” should also say what is on it.
5. Device permissions
| Permission | Why | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications | Only if you turn on the optional daily reminder or streak reminder. Scheduled and shown by your own device — no server is involved. | Optional — off by default |
| Vibration | Gentle haptic feedback while solving. | Can be disabled in Settings |
Lampstand does not request access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or files beyond the backup file you explicitly create and place yourself.
6. Purchases
Lampstand offers an optional paid upgrade. We never see your payment details. Purchases are processed entirely by the app store you bought from — Google Play or the Amazon Appstore — under that store's own privacy policy. The store tells your device whether a purchase exists, and the app remembers that answer locally so the upgrade works offline. Your card number, billing address, and identity are never transmitted to us, and we have no way to obtain them.
7. Notifications
If you turn on reminders, they are scheduled and delivered by your own device. No notification service of ours is involved, and no information leaves your device to make them work. Turning them off in the app or in your device's settings stops them completely.
8. Sharing and backups
Two features hand information to another app because you asked them to:
- Share — when you share a result card, your device passes it to the app you pick (a messaging app, for example). What happens next is governed by that app, and the card is designed to contain no personal information — just the day's result.
- Backup and restore — you can create a backup file of your progress and choose where it goes. It is your file, in your storage; we never receive it, and restoring it is equally under your control. Treat it like any personal file.
9. When you contact us
If you write to us through the support form or by email, we receive what you send: your message, the email address you give us so we can reply, and the topic you select. We use it to answer you and to fix what you tell us about. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not sell, rent, or share it with anyone.
Support messages are delivered to our support mailbox by email, which means they pass through our website host and email provider in the ordinary course of delivery — the same way any email you send does. We keep support correspondence only as long as it is useful for support history, and you may ask us to delete it at any time (see section 14).
10. This website
- No cookies. This website sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
- No external requests. Every font, style, and image on this site is served from roottext.com. Your visit here is not disclosed to any third party by us.
- Hosting logs. Like every website, ours is delivered by a hosting provider, which processes the technical details necessary to serve a page — including your IP address — and may retain standard server logs briefly for security and abuse prevention. We do not use these logs to identify or profile visitors, and we do not combine them with anything else.
11. Children
Lampstand is suitable for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, because the application collects none. A child can use Lampstand without any information about them being gathered, and there is nothing for a parent to request access to or deletion of, because nothing is held.
12. Security
The most effective security measure we take is architectural: data that is never collected cannot be breached, leaked, or subpoenaed from us. Your data on your device is protected by your device's own security — its lock screen and its encryption — and a backup file you create is protected by wherever you choose to keep it. Support correspondence is held in our support mailbox, access to which is limited to the people answering it.
13. Retention
- Application data: not applicable — we never have it. It lives on your device until you delete it there.
- Support correspondence: kept while it is useful for support history, deleted on request.
- Website hosting logs: retained briefly by our hosting provider on standard rotation; not used by us.
14. Your rights and choices
Rights of access, correction, deletion, and portability apply to data a company holds about you. From the application, we hold none — and you already have complete, direct control:
- See your data — it is in the app, on your device.
- Export it — use the backup feature in Settings.
- Delete it — use “Reset All Progress” in Settings, or uninstall the app.
If you have written to us, you may ask us to delete that correspondence at any time by writing to the same address.
European Economic Area and United Kingdom (GDPR)
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, the only personal data we process is support correspondence you send us. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in answering you. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to that processing, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. We do not carry out profiling or automated decision-making. Because we are located in the United States, email you send us is processed here; it is not transferred further.
California (CCPA/CPRA)
We do not sell or share personal information and have never done so. We do not collect personal information from the application. If you contact us, the only categories we receive are the identifiers and message content you choose to include. California residents may request access to or deletion of that correspondence, and we will not discriminate against anyone for exercising their rights. We do not respond differently to browsers with “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals, because we track nothing to begin with.
15. Accounts and deletion
Lampstand currently has no accounts. There is nothing to sign up for, and therefore no account for us to delete: store requirements to offer account deletion do not apply, because no account is ever created. Deleting your data is entirely in your hands — “Reset All Progress” in Settings, or uninstalling the app, removes it from the only place it exists. When accounts arrive with future online features (see section 16), account-deletion controls will ship with them.
16. Changes to this policy
We plan to add online features in future releases — syncing progress between your devices, and community features such as tournaments and shared play. Those cannot work without an account and a server, so accounts will come with them. Two things will stay true: the core game will remain fully playable without an account, and any release that changes what we handle will revise this policy before it ships — announced with clear notice in the application, never a silent edit. Dated copies of previous versions are kept so you can see what the policy said at any point in time.
Revision history
- 9 August 2026 — initial publication, covering Lampstand v1 and roottext.com.
