Short version: Connections Maxxing is free. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads, and we never collect payment information. We keep only what we need to run the service — your account details and your puzzle progress — and we don't sell your data.
Connections Maxxing is operated by All Out Apps ("we", "us"). Contact: support@connectionsassist.com.
Connections Maxxing is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any puzzle publisher.
You can play without an account. If you create one, you can sign in with Sign in with Apple, Google, or an email address and password.
| Category | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account information | Email address, display name, and profile picture; a password (stored only as a secure hash) if you sign up with email; or the account identifier Apple or Google gives us when you use their sign-in. With Sign in with Apple you can choose to share a private relay email instead of your real address. | Create and secure your account |
| Device information | An identifier for each device you sign in from | Keep your account secure and manage signed-in devices |
| Gameplay data | Puzzles you play, guesses, progress, scores, streaks and stats, your settings, and puzzles you create or share | Save your progress and make the app work |
| AI Coach conversations | Messages you send the in-app coach and its replies | Show your coach history for a puzzle |
| Support & log data | Emails you send us; standard server logs (IP address, timestamps, requested pages) | Support, debugging, and abuse prevention |
We do not collect payment card or billing information.
When you use the AI Coach, the message you type and the puzzle context needed to answer it (the puzzle's words and your progress on it) are sent to our AI service provider, OpenAI, to generate a reply. We do not send your name or email address with these requests.
We share data only with service providers needed to run the app: Apple and Google (only when you use their sign-in), our AI provider (for AI Coach requests, as described above), our email delivery provider (for account emails such as verification and password reset), and our hosting providers. We may disclose information if required by law.
We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time in the app: open the profile menu, then Settings → Data & Account → Delete Account, and confirm. You can also email support@connectionsassist.com from your account email and we'll do it for you.
Deleting your account removes your personal information (email, name, profile picture, password, and linked Apple or Google sign-in) and your gameplay data, devices, settings, and AI Coach conversations. Puzzles you shared by link stay available but are no longer linked to you. Records of any past purchases are kept only where required for tax and accounting purposes.
If you used Sign in with Apple, you can also stop using it with this app from your iPhone: Settings → your name → Sign in with Apple.

If we make material changes, we will update this page and revise the date above.
