Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Whisper Challenge (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you use the Whisper Challenge mobile application and this website (together, the “Service”).
1. Who we are
Whisper Challenge is a two-player lip-reading party game available on iOS and Android. For privacy questions, contact us at support@makduman.com.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you play, we may process:
- Gameplay data: scores, match history, selected decks, and settings stored on your device.
- Online room data: room codes, join/leave events, and match state needed to run multiplayer sessions.
- Audio and camera (online mode): when you start an online match, the app may access your microphone and camera so players can lip-read over live video. Voice audio from the reader is not intended to be delivered to the guesser as audible speech for the challenge. Streams are processed to provide the live session and are not stored by us as lasting video libraries.
- Optional recordings: if you choose to save a screen recording, media may be written to your device photo library with your permission.
- Purchases: subscription and in-app purchase status are handled by Apple App Store / Google Play and our payment partner (RevenueCat). We receive entitlement status, not your full payment card details.
- Diagnostics and analytics: crash reports, performance metrics, and aggregated usage events (for example via Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, and Remote Config) to keep the app stable and improve features.
- Push notifications: a device push token if you allow notifications.
- Support messages: whatever you send when you email support.
3. How we use information
- Operate local and online gameplay
- Sync rooms and live video sessions
- Provide subscriptions, free quotas, and restore purchases
- Measure reliability, fix bugs, and tune features
- Respond to support requests
- Comply with legal obligations
4. Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Where applicable, we process personal data to perform the Service you request, based on our legitimate interests in running a secure and enjoyable game, and/or with your consent (for example camera, microphone, notifications, or photo library permissions).
5. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- Infrastructure and backend providers used to run rooms and accounts
- Live video providers used for online matches
- Analytics, crash reporting, and remote configuration vendors
- In-app purchase / subscription processors
- Authorities when required by law
Other players in an online room may see your display presence and camera feed for the duration of the match.
6. Retention
Device-local data stays on your phone until you clear app data or uninstall. Online session data is kept only as long as needed to operate rooms and improve the Service. Support emails are retained as needed to resolve your request.
7. Security
We use industry-standard safeguards appropriate to a consumer mobile game. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
8. Children
The Service is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
9. Your choices and rights
- Revoke camera, microphone, photos, or notification permissions in system settings
- Disable analytics where the OS or app settings allow
- Request access, correction, or deletion by emailing support
- Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings
Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or similar laws.
10. International transfers
We and our processors may process data in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate transfer safeguards.
11. This website
Our marketing site at https://whisper.makduman.com collects standard server/logs data necessary to deliver pages and may use privacy-friendly hosting analytics. It does not require an account.
12. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will change when we do. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
13. Related terms
For Apple App Store users, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies: Apple Standard EULA. See also our Terms of Use.
