Data Stored by Kings
Kings stores the score data you enter in the app. This may include player names, player profile settings, game results, hand scores, game history, and player stats.
Kings uses this data to keep score, show history, show stats, and support optional Family Scorebook sharing when you turn that on.
iCloud and CloudKit
Kings may use Apple's iCloud and CloudKit for Family Scorebook sharing. This is optional.
If you turn on iCloud sharing, finalized game history, roster/player profile information, scorebook metadata, and summary stats may be stored in or shared through Apple's iCloud service. That sharing uses your Apple account.
In-progress games stay on the device while you are playing. Completed games sync after they are saved and finalized.
SCIM Ventures does not run a separate account system or backend server for Kings.
