Privacy Policy
What we collect
- Account: your email address, your age range (not your date of birth), your nickname, and the date and version of the terms you accepted.
- Kids Mode: a hashed 6-digit PIN and a preset nickname. If a parent forgets the PIN, we email a one-time recovery code to the parent's address. No child's email, name or birth date is collected.
- Households: the link between a parent's account and a teen's account, and the approval email we send to the parent.
- Payments: handled by Stripe. We keep your subscription status and a Stripe customer reference, not your card number.
- Play: which games a room played, when, and for how long. We measure this ourselves to share subscription revenue with game creators.
- Game saves: progress that a game stores for you or for a room.
- Technical: a hashed form of your IP address and your browser's description (user-agent) when you accept the terms, and the usual server logs.
What games can see
A game receives an anonymous player id that is different in every game, plus your nickname and colour for the room. Games never receive your email, your age, or your account id.
How we use it
To run the service, sign you in, apply your plan, keep players safe, pay creators their share, and fix problems. We do not sell your personal information. [ADVERTISING: ads are planned after launch; this section will be updated before any ads run.]
Who we share it with
- Our email provider (Mailgun) to send sign-in codes and approval emails.
- Stripe, to take payments.
- Our hosting and database providers, who store data for us.
- Game creators receive only aggregate play-time totals used for payouts, and the anonymous in-game data above.
Children
Vifac is not for children to sign up on their own. Children under 13 play only through a parent's Kids Mode. We collect as little as we can about them, as described above. [CHILDREN'S PRIVACY (COPPA/GDPR-K) DETAILS: to be written with counsel.]
Keeping and deleting data
You can delete your account yourself in the app (join screen, Delete account). This deletes your account, your saved game progress and your settings. We keep anonymous play totals that are no longer linked to you, because creators are paid from them. Deleting is not possible while you have an active paid subscription that is not set to end, or a creator account with games or earnings; in that case contact us. Saved room progress is removed after 30 days without use. [RETENTION PERIODS FOR OTHER RECORDS: to be set with counsel.]
Your rights
[RIGHTS UNDER LOCAL LAW (ACCESS, CORRECTION, DELETION, PORTABILITY), INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS: to be written with counsel.]
