PrettyMuch Works

About

Built to work. Then built better.

PrettyMuch Works is an app studio based in Auckland, New Zealand. We design and build apps for iPhone, iPad and Android. Startlet and VorteX are our first, with more on the way.

We named the studio for the standard we hold ourselves to: an app has to work. We make apps that educate, entertain and support wellbeing, apps that leave the world a little better. Startlet helps busy, scattered brains take the first small step, and VorteX sparks curiosity about how rockets fly. Nothing ships perfect, so we keep improving what we ship.

How we work

  • Say what it does.

    Every product page leads with what the app does for you, in plain words.

  • Show the real thing.

    We only show real app screens and real figures. We don't use mock-ups or made-up numbers.

  • Keep improving.

    Each release says what changed and by how much.

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 23 October 2026
Last updated: 23 October 2026

Parn Jones, trading as PrettyMuch Works ("PrettyMuch Works", "we"), Auckland, New Zealand, runs this website at www.prettymuchworks.com. This policy explains what personal information the site collects and how we handle it. Our apps have their own policies: see the Startlet Privacy Policy and the VorteX Privacy Policy.

What we collect

We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising.

Who processes it

This website is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. on its global network, so requests may be handled at a data centre near you and in the United States. Our email is provided by Apple (iCloud Mail), so messages you send us are stored by Apple, which may store them in the United States or other countries where Apple operates. Both act on our behalf under their own terms and privacy policies (https://www.cloudflare.com/privacy/ and https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/). We don't use any other providers for this website.

How long we keep it

We keep support emails only for as long as we need them to respond to you and to meet our legal obligations, and then delete them. We don't keep website logs ourselves; Cloudflare keeps them for a limited time under its own policies.

Your rights (New Zealand)

Under the Privacy Act 2020 you can ask to see the personal information we hold about you and to correct it. Contact us using the details below. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (privacy.org.nz).

EU and UK visitors

If you are in the EU or UK, we rely on our legitimate interests to answer your messages and to keep the website secure. You can ask to access, correct, erase, restrict, port or object to the use of your data, and complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).

California residents

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can ask to know, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, and we will not treat you differently for doing so.

Children

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We will post any changes here and update the date above.
