Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Dare Night handles your information across both the Android app and the web version at dare-night.app (together, the "app"). We've kept it short because we collect very little — and even less on the web.
Short version
- Dare Night does not collect personally identifiable information.
- No accounts, no logins, no cloud sync of your packs or prompts. Your custom content stays on your device.
- No ads. No ad tracking. No third-party advertising SDKs.
- No data is sold or shared with third parties for marketing.
- We use anonymous, cookieless usage analytics to understand how the app is used and to keep improving it — on Android via Google Firebase (plus crash reporting), and on the web via Cloudflare Web Analytics plus our own anonymous gameplay counts. We never collect personal info, the content of prompts you write, pack names, or player names.
If those answers cover what you wanted to know, you don't need to read further.
What stays on your device only
The following information is stored locally on your device and never sent to us:
- Your custom packs and the prompts you write
- Packs you import from friends
- Your player names
- Your selected pack, bottle color, and other preferences
- Your per-session game state (whose turn, your score of rounds, etc.). Note: an anonymous round number is included in the gameplay counts described under "Web analytics" — but it is never tied to you or your device.
- Your Premium status (on Android, cached locally after Google Play confirms purchase; on the web, your Premium license key, cached locally so you stay unlocked offline)
On Android this is stored in the app's on-device storage; on the web it's stored in your browser (IndexedDB) on your device. You can delete it at any time by clearing the app's data through Android settings, clearing this site's data in your browser, or uninstalling the app.
What we collect via Google Firebase (Android only)
In the Android app, to understand how the app is used and to fix bugs, we use two Google Firebase services. The web version at dare-night.app does not use Firebase — it uses the lighter, cookieless web analytics described under "Web analytics" below instead.
Firebase Analytics
Anonymous usage analytics about how people interact with the app. Specifically:
- Which screens you visit (Play, Packs, Settings, etc.)
- Which packs you play (Classic, Crush, Spicy, etc.)
- Whether you spin with the bottle or wheel
- Whether you reroll prompts
- Whether the paywall is shown, dismissed, or converted to a Premium purchase
- Whether you create, share, or import packs
- Approximate session counts and durations
We do NOT collect:
- Your prompt text (we never see which specific prompts you saw or what you wrote)
- Your pack names or player names
- Your contacts, photos, location, or device identifiers beyond what Google Firebase uses internally
- Any information that could identify you personally
Firebase Crashlytics
When the app crashes on your device, Crashlytics sends us a crash report including:
- A description of what went wrong (technical stack trace)
- Your device model and Android version
- The app version that crashed
These reports help us fix bugs in future updates. They do not include your personal info or game content.
Data location and Google's role
Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are services operated by Google. The data we send is processed and stored on Google's servers in the United States. Google's own privacy practices apply to that processing — see Google's privacy policy.
You can opt out of this analytics at the Android OS level via Settings → Google → Ads → "Opt out of Ads Personalization." Note that opting out at the OS level affects analytics across all apps you use, not just Dare Night.
Web analytics (dare-night.app)
On the web version, we use two lightweight, cookieless analytics that never identify you:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics — anonymous, cookieless traffic measurement (page views, referrers, country-level location, device type). No cookies, no cross-site tracking, no personal profiles.
- Anonymous gameplay counts — so we can keep improving the built-in prompts (they're the heart of the game), we count how our own built-in prompts perform: whether a prompt was shown, re-rolled, completed, or turned into a story card, plus which pack, whether it was a truth or dare, and the round number it appeared on. Prompts are referenced by an internal code, not their text.
These gameplay counts never include: your name or any identifier, the prompts you write, packs you import, player names, or your exact location. Custom and imported packs are your own content and are not measured at all. The data is aggregate and cannot be traced back to you.
Google Play Billing (Android)
When you purchase Dare Night Premium ($2.99 one-time) on Android, the transaction is handled entirely by Google Play. We never see or store your payment information. Google Play tells our app whether you've purchased Premium; we cache that fact locally on your device.
Google Play's own privacy practices apply to the purchase itself. See Google's privacy policy.
Payments on the web version
On dare-night.app, Premium ($2.99 one-time) is sold through a third-party Merchant of Record (such as Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy). They process the payment — we never see or store your card details. After purchase you receive a license key. When you enter that key in the app, only the key is sent to our validation endpoint (hosted on Cloudflare) and the payment provider, solely to confirm the purchase is valid. We don't store the key on our servers; it's cached locally in your browser so you stay unlocked offline. The provider's own privacy practices govern the payment itself.
Sharing packs with friends
When you share a pack you created, the app generates a text block (or an image of the pack) and hands it to your device's share sheet (or, on the web, copies it or uses your browser's share feature). We never see what you share. The recipient receives the pack via whatever messaging app you choose (TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, etc.) — those apps' privacy policies govern that transmission.
When a friend imports a pack into Dare Night, that pack is stored locally on their device. It is never uploaded to us.
Children
Dare Night is intended for users 17 years of age and older, consistent with our Google Play content rating. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app, you can clear the app's data via Android settings or contact us at the email above.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Stop using the app at any time (uninstall it)
- Clear all locally-stored data via Android settings
- Opt out of analytics at the OS level (see Firebase Analytics section above)
- Contact us with questions about how your data is handled
If you are in a jurisdiction with specific data protection rights (e.g., GDPR in the EU, CCPA in California), those rights apply to the limited data we collect through Firebase, and you can exercise them by contacting us.
Changes to this policy
If we materially change how we handle data, we will update this policy and the "Effective date" above. If the change is significant (e.g., adding a new data collection feature), we will surface a notice in the app on next launch.
