Privacy Policy

DRAFT: placeholder for review by a lawyer before launch. Not yet a binding policy.

The short version

• No account or email is needed to play. The app signs you in anonymously with a random ID and shows you a player ID (OTC-XXXXXX) for support.
• We store what the game needs: your runs and scores (for leaderboards and anti-cheat), progress, cosmetics, purchases, the app version and device model, and when you accepted the Terms.
• Jump detection uses your phone’s motion sensors on the device. Raw sensor data is not uploaded.
• Jump Cam uses the camera (and microphone, only if you turn it on) only while you record. Clips stay on your phone unless you share them.
• Ads (if shown) and app stores may process data under their own policies (Google AdMob, Google Play, Apple App Store).
• Analytics (always on, used to improve the game): the app sends gameplay and usage events to our own server, such as app opens, sessions, onboarding steps, run results, sparks earned and spent, cosmetics, ads shown, purchases, shares, Jump Cam exports and errors. Each event carries your player ID, app version, platform and OS version, device type, brand and model, language and time zone.
• Our server adds your IP address and the country derived from it. The country is looked up on our own server from an offline database (IP geolocation by DB-IP, CC BY 4.0); your IP is not sent to any third party for this.
• If you link a login (for example Google or email), the email address of that login is stored with your events. Guest players have no email.
• IP address and email are personal data. Only our administrators can see them, in our private admin panel; players cannot read anyone’s analytics. Analytics data is hosted on our own server ([hosting provider and location]). Raw events are deleted after 12 months; anonymous totals (counts per day) are kept.
• Delete everything: Settings → “Delete all my data” removes your data, including your analytics events, from the device and our servers.
