GAFF

Privacy

Last updated 4 August 2026

GAFF is a party game. It needs to know who you are inside your own group and nothing else. We do not sell your data, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.

What we keep

A display name. The one you pick, shown to the other players in your group.
An account identifier. If you sign in with Apple we store a one-way hash of the identifier Apple gives us, so your games survive a new phone. We never receive your Apple password, and we do not store your email address.
A device identifier. A random string generated on your phone, so a leaderboard row belongs to somebody and a daily game knows what it has already shown you.
What you write in a round. The lies you plant and the gaffes you make, which is the game.
Your scores and answers. How you did, so a group can have a table and the app can tell you what kind of player you are.
A notification token, only if you turn reminders on, so we can tell you a round has opened.

What we do not keep

Your location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera. The app never asks.
Your email address or your real name, unless you type one as a display name.
Any advertising or analytics identifier. There is no ad network and no third-party analytics in the app.

Who else sees it

Other players in a group you have joined see your display name, your scores and what you wrote during a round. That is the game. Outside that, the only company that holds your data is Google, whose Firebase service stores it for us, and Apple, if you choose to sign in with Apple.

Deleting it

Settings → Account → Delete account. This removes your account, your place in every group, your scores and your leaderboard entries. If you host a group, hosting passes to whoever has been in it longest so the others keep their game; a group with nobody else in it is deleted with your account. It cannot be undone, and it does not need to be requested by email.

Things other people wrote in a round you played are theirs, not yours, and stay with their group.

Reporting something

Players write their own content, so you can report anything you see with the report control on the item, and block a player from a group you host. Reports are reviewed and acted on within 24 hours.

Children

GAFF is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect anything from them. If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we will remove it.
