Vibecheck Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 July 2026

Vibecheck is a two-player party game. This policy describes what data the app handles and why. The short version: we store the minimum needed to run a game between you and your friend, none of it is linked to your identity, and nothing is sold or shared for advertising.

What we store

• An anonymous account ID. When you first open the app, Firebase Authentication creates a random anonymous ID on your device. It contains no personal information and is used only so the game knows which player is which. We never ask for your name, email, or phone number.
• Game content. The display name you type, the questions and answers you and your game partner write, your secret numbers, guesses, and scores. This is stored in Google Cloud Firestore so both phones can see the same game. Games are readable only by the two players in them and are automatically deleted about 30 days after the last activity.
• A push notification token (optional). If you allow notifications, an Expo push token for your device is stored with your game so your game partner's move can trigger an "it's your turn" notification. If you decline notifications, no token is stored.

Advertising

Vibecheck shows an occasional full-screen ad between rounds, provided by Google AdMob. To do this, AdMob receives your device's advertising identifier and basic device information, and may use it to show ads and measure their performance.

On iOS you are asked, via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, whether Vibecheck may track you across apps and websites. If you decline — or never answer — you still see ads, but they are non-personalised. You can change this at any time in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking. Users in the EU and UK are additionally shown a consent form before any ads load.

Google's handling of this data is described in their Privacy & Terms and how Google uses information from partner sites and apps.

What we don't do

• No selling or sharing of your game content with advertisers
• No analytics SDKs beyond what AdMob requires to serve ads
• No linking of game data to your real identity
• No access to your contacts, photos, location, or anything else on your device

Service providers

Game data is processed by Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore) and, for notifications, Expo's push notification service — acting as data processors to run the game. Their privacy documentation: Firebase · Expo.

Your choices

• Notifications are optional and can be changed anytime in iOS Settings.
• Deleting the app removes your anonymous identity from the device; any remaining game documents expire and are deleted automatically.
• For data questions or deletion requests, contact: hello@rubekmedia.com

Children

Vibecheck does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. There are no accounts and content is shared only between two people who exchange a private invite code.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date above will be updated.
