Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how TrickMe ("TrickMe", "we", "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when you use the TrickMe mobile application and related services (the "Service"). TrickMe is a social truth game in which people share four statements — three false and one true — and others try to identify the truth.

1. Who we are

TrickMe is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. [email protected] can be used for privacy questions or to exercise your rights.

2. Data we collect

2.1 Account and authentication

You create an account using Sign in with Apple. Depending on your choice, Apple may share your name and an email address, which may be an Apple private relay address. We store a unique account identifier and your sign-in provider.

2.2 Profile information you provide

• Username and display name
• Bio, age or date of birth used to confirm eligibility for the Service, gender, and who you are interested in
• Approximate location you provide, such as city or country

2.3 User content, gameplay, and activity data

• Guesses you make, matches you create, dares assigned and completed, and dare proof you upload
• Messages you send in unlocked chats
• Game statistics such as level, XP, streaks, accuracy, trust and reputation signals, badges, and rankings
• Reports, blocks, and mutes you create

2.4 Device and technical data

• Push notification token and device identifiers used to provide and secure app functionality
• IP address and general diagnostics, crash, and performance logs

2.5 Subscription and purchase data

If you purchase a subscription, including TrickMe Plus or TrickMe Black, Apple processes the payment. We receive transaction identifiers and subscription status needed to provide your subscription benefits. We do not receive your full payment card details.

2.6 Consent and preference records

We may record the versions of our Terms and Privacy Policy you accepted and your privacy, analytics, marketing, and notification choices where applicable.

3. How we use your data

• Create, authenticate, and operate your account and profile
• Show profiles in Discover, run guesses, create matches, generate or assign dares, and enable chat
• Calculate game statistics, levels, streaks, trust and reputation signals, badges, and rankings
• Personalize relevant parts of the Service based on your settings, preferences, and activity
• Keep the community safe through moderation and the handling of reports, blocks, mutes, abuse, and fraud
• Send push notifications about matches, messages, and game events, subject to your device settings
• Process subscriptions, restore purchases, provide entitlements, and prevent fraud
• Diagnose bugs, monitor performance, understand product usage where permitted, improve the Service, and comply with law

4. Legal bases (EEA / UK / Türkiye)

Where applicable, we rely on performance of a contract to provide the Service; consent for processing that requires it; legitimate interests such as safety, fraud prevention, security, and product improvement; and legal obligations such as record-keeping and responding to lawful requests. Processing in Türkiye is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law, including Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK), as applicable.

5. How we share data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share personal data as follows:

• Other users: information you choose to make part of your profile or gameplay experience, such as your username, display name, photos, bio, statements, level, and reputation information, may be visible to other players according to the Service's design and your available privacy settings.
• Apple: for Sign in with Apple, in-app purchases, App Store subscription management, and Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
• Service providers: vendors that provide infrastructure or services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, databases, media storage and delivery, analytics, crash and performance monitoring, notification delivery, and content moderation. They process information only as permitted for the services they provide to us.
• Legal and safety: when required by applicable law, legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect users, investigate abuse or fraud, enforce our terms, or protect rights and safety.
• Business transfers: if TrickMe is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.

6. Data retention

We retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain account and security records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations. When you request account deletion, your account enters our deletion process and personal data is scheduled for deletion, generally within 30 days, except where limited information must be retained for legal, tax, fraud-prevention, security, or safety purposes. Aggregated or anonymized information that can no longer reasonably identify you may be retained.

7. Your rights and choices

• Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, receive a copy of, object to, or restrict certain processing of your personal data.
• Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.
• You can delete your account from within the app through Settings → Account → Delete Account, where available, or contact us for assistance.
• You can manage available privacy and communication settings in the app, including notification and profile-related preferences.

To exercise a privacy right, contact [email protected]. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

8. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure authentication mechanisms. Authentication tokens may be stored using platform-provided secure storage such as Apple Keychain. No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we continually work to improve our safeguards.

9. Age requirement and children

TrickMe is intended only for people who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly permit people under 18 to use the Service. If we learn that an account belongs to a person under 18, we may suspend or remove the account and take appropriate steps regarding associated personal data.

If you believe a person under 18 is using TrickMe, contact [email protected].

10. International data transfers

Your personal data may be processed in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, which may include contractual protections such as standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms recognized under applicable law.

11. Third-party platforms and services

The Service may rely on third-party platforms and service providers for authentication, payments, notifications, hosting, analytics, diagnostics, media delivery, moderation, or other operational functions. Those providers may process information in accordance with their own terms and privacy obligations as applicable. We encourage you to review the privacy information made available by services you interact with.

12. Apple standard end user license agreement

For Apple's standard terms and conditions applicable to apps distributed through the App Store, please review Apple's Standard End User License Agreement.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date. Where required or appropriate for material changes, we may provide additional notice in the Service or request that you review updated terms.
