Your data
On your device.
The app saves completed characters, practice sessions, character familiarity estimates, and your settings on your device. If you enable sharing with other Mojin apps, familiarity data is also saved in a shared area on this device. Turning sharing off does not delete that shared copy, and it may remain while another participating app is installed. The app does not send this data to Ludofax. External links and support email use the services you choose to open, and device backups are managed through your Apple settings.
