This Privacy Policy describes how Janko Tech Ventures LLC, operating under the brand Tap Party ("we," "our," or "us"), collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use the Tap Party mobile application (the "App") and our website at tap-party.com (the "Site"), collectively the "Services."
By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
Player names: When you start a game, you may enter player names. These names exist only in your device's memory for the duration of the session and are never transmitted to our servers or any third party. They are cleared when the app is closed or the session ends.
Support requests: If you contact us for help, you may provide your name, email address, and a description of your issue. We use this only to respond to your request.
When you use the App, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect:
This data is collected through Firebase Analytics and Google AdMob, described in the Third-Party Services section.
If you make a purchase (Premium subscription, Lifetime, or Party Pack), the transaction is processed by Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not collect or store your payment card details. RevenueCat, our in-app purchase platform, receives purchase receipts and device identifiers to verify and manage your entitlements.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for purposes incompatible with those listed above without first updating this policy and, where required, obtaining your consent.
The App integrates the following third-party SDKs and services. Each operates under its own privacy policy; we encourage you to review them.
Purpose: In-app purchase management and subscription entitlements.
Data collected: Purchase receipts, device identifiers, app version, and platform.
Privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy
Purpose: Serving advertisements to free-tier users.
Data collected: Advertising ID (IDFA / GAID), device information, IP address, general location, and ad interaction data. AdMob may use this data to serve personalized ads based on your interests.
Opt-out: You can limit ad tracking in your device settings: iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Delete advertising ID.
Privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
Purpose: Analytics, crash reporting, and app performance monitoring.

Apple App Store and Google Play also collect data about your device and transactions in accordance with their own privacy policies when you download or purchase through those platforms.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share data in the following circumstances:
Free-tier users see advertisements served by Google AdMob. These ads may be personalized based on your device's advertising identifier and general interests. Premium users (any paid plan) do not see ads.
App Tracking Transparency (iOS 14+): On iOS, we request permission before accessing your IDFA for personalized advertising. If you decline, you may still see ads but they will not be personalized.
Google's ad personalization: You can review and adjust Google's ad personalization settings at adssettings.google.com.
Player names: Not retained. Cleared from memory at session end.
Purchase records: RevenueCat retains purchase history as long as your account is active or as required to resolve disputes and comply with legal obligations.
Analytics data: Firebase retains event data for up to 14 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted or anonymized.
Support correspondence: Retained for up to 2 years after your last contact, then deleted.
Because Tap Party does not maintain user accounts or store personal data directly, most data cannot be individually deleted. However, you may contact us at support@tap-party.com with any privacy-related requests, and we will assist where possible.
Tap Party is an adult drinking game intended exclusively for users who are of legal drinking age in their jurisdiction (21+ in the United States; 18+ in most other countries). The App displays an age gate at launch requiring confirmation of legal drinking age.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has used the App, please contact us at support@tap-party.com.
This App is not directed at children and is not designed to appeal to children. It is not compliant with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) or similar children's privacy frameworks, and its use by minors is strictly prohibited.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use the latest version of the App and your device's operating system.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide notice within the App or via a prominent notice on this page.
