What we collect

You don’t make an account. You scan a code, type a name, and play. That name is the only thing you give us, and you choose it — plenty of people type “Beard Guy”.

• ·The name you typed.
• ·Your crew's name, and the number it drew each period.
• ·Whether your crew won each period. Crews' wins are public on the leaderboards, under the crew's name.

Your crew’s key and your color choice are stored on your own phone, not on our servers.

Share the result makes a picture of the game from the game’s own record: the teams, the score, the place, the date and the winner, with their crew picture if they added one. You pick where it goes; we don’t see who you send it to.

Alerts are off until you tap Turn on in a game. Then we keep the address your phone gives us for alerts, with your seat in that game: in the app, a token from Google’s or Apple’s alert service; in a browser, its push address. We use it to tell you your numbers, new cards and wins, and for nothing else.

Google and Apple carry each alert to your phone. Once alerts are on, the next game you join turns them on by itself. Turn off, in the game, stops them on that phone, and so does your phone’s own settings.

You never need one to play. An account is an email address and a password, and it keeps only what you put in it:

• ·Your favorite teams and the Settle It bars you follow.
• ·Your watch list, which is worked out from those each time you open it. We don't store it.
• ·Crews you chose to save, so there's no key to type next time.
• ·A name and logo for games you run at home, if you set them.
• ·Your results: the games you played signed in and which periods your crew won, so your record follows you.

Playing signed in puts your name and wins on the public leaderboards. Your Settle It → Boards takes you off them; your results stay on your account for you.

We don’t send marketing. We don’t sell or share it. Email is used for signing in and for a password reset, and nothing else. “Add to calendar” hands a game to your phone’s own calendar; we keep nothing from that.

A bar is an account with a bar on it. We store your bar’s name, any pictures you upload, its address and the spot on the map you confirm, the games you build, and codes you redeem. If you list your bar, its name, address, pin and planned games are public: that’s how people find it.

A bar shows on Find a bar once its owner checks in at the bar. Tapping Check in asks your phone for its location once, to check it’s within 500 ft of the bar’s pin. We keep only the date it checked in, not where the phone was.

When staff mark a prize handed over, we keep the time against that win, so the crew’s phones and the bar’s Past nights show it.

“Find a Settle It bar” starts from the rough area your connection suggests (a city, not a street), so it can show bars near you without asking for anything. If you tap to use your exact spot, the phone asks you once, we use it for that one list, and we don’t keep it.

Your phone also remembers the Settle It bars you’ve played at in the last ten days, so they come first in that list and a little more often at the bottom of the screen. That stays on your own phone; we never see it.

• ·No exact location, unless you tap to use it (or to check in at your bar), and then we don't keep it.
• ·No contacts, photos (beyond a picture you choose to upload), or microphone.
• ·No advertising ID, and no cross-app or cross-site tracking.
• ·No analytics or behavioral profiling. We don't have an analytics tool installed at all.
• ·No payment details. We don't take payments from players.

Free games, the front page and Find a bar carry a small strip of pictures: nearby Settle It bars, sponsors, and our own. A bar’s own game shows that bar’s specials. They are not targeted at you, and they don’t track you. We count how often each one was seen and tapped, by day and rough area, and nothing about who.

“Get a code” and “Ask us” keep what you type: your name, the email or phone you leave, the bar and town, and your note, so a person can answer. It’s used for that answer and nothing else.

Game and account data is stored with Supabase (Postgres), and the site is served by Netlify. Both may process data in the United States. Team names and game times come from a public score feed.

An account deletes itself: Your Settle It → Delete my account. Your favorites, saved crews, results and home-game branding go with it, and the crews stay in the game’s record under their key with nobody’s name on them.

An account with a bar deletes the bar first: My bar → Delete this bar, at the bottom. Its name, logo, pictures, specials, map pin and plan go; its past games stay in the record with no bar on them. To keep the bar on someone else’s account instead, ask us and we move it.

For anything else, ask: privacy@settleitgame.com. You can also just delete the app — the key is on your phone, and without it a crew name is a word in a list.

Settle It is for a general audience and has a Family setting for rooms with kids in them. We don’t knowingly collect anything from children beyond a chosen first name, and there’s nothing else to collect.
