Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information when you use the App. Collection is limited to what is necessary for the stated purposes, and many types of collection occur only if you grant the App permission.
Personal Data (collected when you choose to provide it)
- Name - Email address - Profile photo (if you upload or connect a social account) - Account identifiers created by the App
Sensitive Data
- Biometric data: We may rely on your device’s biometric authentication features (fingerprint, Face ID) to authenticate you locally. We do not receive, store, or transmit raw biometric templates — biometric authentication is handled by your device’s secure hardware/APIs.
Contacts and Media
- Contacts list and photos/media files only if you grant explicit permission (for social sharing, inviting friends, or creating custom content). We access these only to the extent you allow and only for the stated feature (and store or transmit only what is required).
Device & Technical Data
- Device model, operating system version, device identifiers (advertising identifiers such as IDFA/GAID), language, time zone, app version, unique app installation identifiers.
Usage Data & App Behavior
- Logs, crash reports, gameplay data, session length, pages/screens visited, in‑game actions and preferences, connectivity and performance metrics, and analytics events.
Payment & Purchase Data
- Purchase receipts, subscription status and purchase metadata (processed by Apple, Google Play and/or RevenueCat). We do not collect full credit card numbers — payments are processed by Apple, Google, RevenueCat or payment processors.
Advertising Identifiers
- Advertising IDs (IDFA/GAID) and ad engagement data for personalized advertising and measurement.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information for the following purposes:
To provide and maintain the App’s features and game functions (account creation, matchmaking, game logic).
To authenticate users and manage accounts.
To process in‑app purchases and subscriptions, billing, refunds, and account entitlements.
To display, measure and personalize advertising and offers (including targeted ads).
To operate, improve and analyze the App (analytics, crash reporting, performance monitoring).
To communicate with you (service messages, updates, support, surveys).
To prevent, detect and respond to fraud, security incidents, abuse and legal claims.
To comply with legal obligations and law enforcement requests.
For other purposes disclosed at the time of data collection or with your consent.
We base our processing on user consent where required, contract performance (e.g., delivering the App and purchases), legitimate interests (improving and securing the App, analytics and advertising), and legal obligations.

Advertising and User Tracking

You can control ad personalization and tracking:
- On iOS: use App Tracking Transparency (ATT) and device settings (Settings > Privacy > Tracking). To opt out of personalized ads, go to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising or disable tracking prompts. - On Android: you can opt out of ad personalization via Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com and reset/limit the advertising ID in device settings. - For additional ad choices, consult the Digital Advertising Alliance: http://optout.aboutads.info/ and the Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/
Under some laws (e.g., CCPA), “sharing” data for advertising may be considered a sale. To exercise your “Do Not Sell / Share” rights, see “Your Rights” below or contact us at memeguys46@gmail.com.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide the App, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements. Typical retention periods:
Account information, profile data and purchase history: retained while your account is active and for up to 24 months after account deletion unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Analytics and usage data: retained for up to 26 months (or as otherwise described by analytics provider defaults).
Crash logs and diagnostic reports: retained for up to 36 months.
Payment transaction records: retained in accordance with legal and tax requirements (typically up to 7 years in some jurisdictions) but only in aggregated or necessary form.
Contacts, photos or media you upload: retained while needed for the feature you use and for up to 24 months after you remove them unless deletion is required sooner.
If you request deletion, we will comply subject to legal or technical constraints (see Your Rights).
Security
We implement reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data, including:
TLS/HTTPS for data in transit;
Encryption of sensitive data where practical;
Access controls and least‑privilege principles for staff and service providers;
Using reputable third‑party providers with security controls (e.g., Firebase, Google Cloud);
Regular software updates and security monitoring.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and disclaim liability for unauthorized access beyond our reasonable measures.
Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will delete that information as soon as possible.
Parents and guardians should not permit children under the applicable age (13 in the U.S.; up to 16 in some EU countries) to create accounts or use the App without consent. If you are a parent and believe we have information about your child, contact us at memeguys46@gmail.com.
Payments, Subscriptions, Refunds and Billing
The App offers in‑app purchases (one‑time purchases and subscriptions). Purchases and subscription billing are processed through Apple In‑App Purchases, Google Play Billing and/or RevenueCat (as applicable).
We do not collect full payment card numbers. Payment data is processed by the platform providers (Apple/Google) or RevenueCat and is subject to their privacy policies.
Subscriptions auto‑renew unless canceled. To cancel a subscription:
- On iOS: manage or cancel subscriptions via your Apple ID subscription settings. - On Android: manage or cancel subscriptions via Google Play subscriptions settings. - For subscriptions managed by RevenueCat, your purchase platform controls cancellation and billing.
Refund policy: we offer a 14‑day refund window. Refund handling is subject to platform rules (Apple/Google) — contact your platform’s support and contact us if you need help: memeguys46@gmail.com.
Cross‑Border Transfers and International Processing
We and our service providers (e.g., Firebase, Google Cloud) may transfer and process your information in countries other than your residence, including the United States. Where transfers are subject to legal restrictions, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) or other lawful mechanisms. By using the App you consent to such transfers.
