Privacy Policy

"Darb Al-Huroof" (Game Words) — Last updated: July 2026

This is a party trivia game. No account or login is required to play or join. Sign in with Apple is optional and only needed if you want to subscribe to online hosting.

Data we handle

• Player nickname: typed by you when joining. In online mode it is sent to the game server to show other players; it is held only in server memory and auto-deleted when the room ends (within ~2h of inactivity). It is not linked to your identity. In offline/LAN mode it never leaves your local network.
• Joining via a browser: our server also serves the game's web client so players can join from a browser without installing the app. Their nicknames and room codes are handled identically — in server memory only, not linked to identity.
• Apple account (optional): if you sign in to subscribe, we use Sign in with Apple via Firebase (a Google service). We then store in Firebase an account identifier and your email (which may be Apple's private relay address), plus a copy of your current subscription status, so we can recognize you across devices and manage promotional access. This data is stored on Firebase servers (EU).
• Subscription / purchases: the weekly subscription is managed entirely by Apple. To confirm a host is subscribed, our server receives an Apple-signed transaction and verifies it directly with Apple. We never see your card details — Apple handles payment.
• Technical data: our servers may transiently log IP and standard connection data for operation and security.

What we do NOT do

• Sign-in is optional and only needed to subscribe — playing and joining are always free and account-free.
• No cross-app tracking, no IDFA, no third-party trackers, ads, or analytics.
• We do not sell or share your data with third parties (other than Apple to complete the subscription, and Google Firebase which hosts account data on our behalf).
• No location, contacts, or photos. Local network access is used only so players on the same Wi-Fi can join in offline mode.

Data deletion

Nicknames are in-memory only. If you signed in with Apple, you can permanently delete your account and data from within the app via Settings → Delete Account — this removes your account, email, and subscription-status copy from Firebase. The App Store subscription itself is managed by Apple and can be cancelled anytime in Settings → Subscriptions (deleting your account does not cancel the subscription).

Children

The app is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13.
