GetLow! Privacy Policy

The short version

• No ads, no in-app purchases, no analytics or tracking code, and no account.
• Games on your own device never leave your device.
• Online games send only what is needed to play: the name you type, a random player ID the app makes up, and the game itself. They are deleted automatically after 14 days without play.
• We never sell or share this data.

Playing on your own device

Solo games, pass and play games and the tutorial run entirely on your device. Your settings, your saved game, the names you type and your win count are stored in the app's own storage on your device. We cannot see them. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data or your browser's site data, deletes them.

Playing online

When you start or join an online game, the app sends these to the SEMPITE game server:

• The name you type, shown to the other players in that game.
• A random player ID that the app creates on your device. It is not your phone's advertising ID or any hardware ID, and it is not linked to your identity. It lets you rejoin a game after your phone locks.
• The game itself: the four-letter game code, the cards, the moves and the scores.

This is used only to run the game. Everything is sent encrypted (HTTPS). A game is deleted automatically 14 days after anyone last played in it. To stop abuse, the server also remembers the IP address that started a game for one hour, in memory only.

Other services the app talks to

• Google Fonts. The app loads its lettering from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address when the fonts load. See Google's privacy policy. The game still works offline with built-in fonts.
• Cloudflare and our web servers. Online play and the sempite.com website are served through Cloudflare. Like any web server, they record technical details such as your IP address and the time of each request, for security and to keep the service running, as described in the SEMPITE privacy policy.

Children

GetLow! is a family card game, but it is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Online play asks only for a display name; we suggest a first name or a nickname.

Deleting your data

Online games delete themselves 14 days after the last move. To have one deleted sooner, email jacob@sempite.com with the game code and we will remove it. There is no account to close.

Permissions

The Android app asks for one permission: internet access, used for online play, the fonts, and opening sempite.com links in your browser.

Changes and contact
