This policy explains what Multiplayer Games collects, why, and who else sees it.
The short version: there are no accounts. Player names, scores and settings stay on your phone. If you play in an online room, our rooms server holds the nickname you type and the room code in memory until the room ends. The app shows ads from Google AdMob, which use your phone's advertising ID if you allow it. We collect anonymous usage events to see which games people play, and RevenueCat handles purchases. We don't sell your data for money.
Who we are
Multiplayer Games is made and run by Deepanshu Udhwani, an independent developer based in India ("we", "us"). Contact: deepanshu1422+games@gmail.com.
What stays on your phone
The app stores these only in local storage on your device:
- player names you type in for offline games (we never receive them)
- scores, game history and which games you have played
- settings such as sound and vibration
- counters that decide how often ads appear
- a cached copy of the game list settings and party decks
Deleting the app deletes all of this.
Online rooms
Online rooms let friends play Imposter, Most Likely To or Truth or Dare together, each on their own phone. When you create or join a room, our rooms server keeps only two things: the nickname you type for the game and the room code. They are held in memory, not saved to a database, and are deleted when the room ends. A room ends after 30 minutes with no activity, and after 6 hours at most. There are no accounts. The rooms server's logs record counts only.
Ads (Google AdMob)
The free version shows ads served by Google AdMob: full-screen ads between rounds, a banner on the home screen, and optional rewarded video ads you can choose to watch to open a VIP game for 30 minutes. To serve and measure ads, Google's SDK collects your advertising ID (IDFA on iPhone, Android advertising ID on Android), your IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. Google's own use of this data is described at How Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Your consent choices
- Consent message. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the app shows Google's consent message (UMP) before any ads load. If you don't agree to personalized ads, you get non-personalized ads, which Google still uses limited data for, such as frequency capping, fraud prevention and aggregate reporting. You can change your choice any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices.
- iPhone tracking permission. On iOS the app asks for permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you tap "Ask App Not to Track", the app can't read your IDFA and ads are not personalized with it. You can change this in iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Android. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (the exact path depends on your phone).
Ads are limited to content Google rates suitable for teens. If you buy VIP or Remove Ads, the app stops showing ads between rounds and on the home screen. Rewarded ads only play when you ask for one.
Anonymous usage events (PostHog and our server)
To learn which games people enjoy and where the app breaks, the app sends small usage events, such as "app opened", "game started (Tap War, 2 players)", "round finished", "paywall shown", "ad shown" or "purchase completed", along with the estimated revenue from an ad. Each event has a name, a time, a few numbers or short labels, your platform, app version, and an anonymous ID created by RevenueCat (see below). Player names are never included.
These events go to PostHog (hosted in the United States) and to our own server. PostHog also receives standard device details (model, OS version, language) and your IP address, which it can use to estimate your country and city. We use events only to improve the app, and we keep them for up to 18 months.
Purchases (RevenueCat, Apple, Google)
VIP and Remove Ads are sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Apple or Google handle your payment, and we never see your card. We use RevenueCat to check what you have bought. RevenueCat creates a random anonymous app user ID for your install and receives purchase receipts and basic transaction details (product, price, currency, store, country). RevenueCat sends us a copy of those transaction details so we can count sales. The ID is not linked to your name or email.
Game updates from our server
The app downloads small files from our server, like which games are listed and new party decks. Our server (hosted by Railway) keeps standard request logs, including IP address and time, for a short period for security.
What we don't do
- No accounts, logins, email addresses or phone numbers.
- No access to your contacts, photos, microphone or location.
- We don't sell your personal data for money. If you allow personalized ads, Google may use your advertising ID to personalize ads across apps, which some US state laws call "sharing". You can say no with the choices above.
Children
Multiplayer Games is meant for people aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you think a child under 13 has used the app, email us and we will delete what we hold for that install.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, India's DPDP Act or US state privacy laws), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data about you, or to object to some uses. Because there are no accounts, we find your data by the anonymous ID shown in the app's Settings. Email deepanshu1422+games@gmail.com with that ID. See how to delete your data.
Where data is processed
Our server, PostHog, RevenueCat and Google may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, these providers use standard contractual protections for international transfers.
This website
This website has no cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. Fonts load from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when a page loads. Our host keeps standard server logs for a short time.
Changes
If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
