Tim Imposter ("the app") is a pass-the-phone party game for people aged 13 and over. This policy explains what the app stores on your device, what it sends to Google's Firebase services, our ad partner Unity and the app stores, and how you can delete it. Contact: timvpnsite@gmail.com
These are never uploaded:
Player names, secret words, roles and votes
Game history, scoreboard and custom word packs
Settings such as language, sound and discussion time
You can clear this data from inside the app, or by uninstalling the app.
The app uses Google Firebase. Google processes this data on our behalf.
a) Cloud device record (Cloud Firestore). One record per device, named with a device identifier: on Android your device's Android ID, on iOS a random identifier stored in the iOS Keychain. It contains the device model, manufacturer and operating system version, the app version (first and latest used), your device language, the dates the record was first created and last used, and how many free tries of Premium features you have used. It contains no names, words or votes. The app creates it when it starts so it can recognise a returning device; you can delete it at any time (section 5).
b) Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase). Screen views and events such as onboarding, game started and finished, word rerolled, settings changed, sharing, word pack actions, ads shown and Premium purchases started or completed. Events carry counts, modes and outcomes only, never names, words or votes. Firebase also collects an app instance ID and, from your IP address, an approximate location (country level). Google Analytics' collection of the advertising ID is switched off.
c) Crash and error reports (Firebase Crashlytics). When the app crashes or reports an error: stack traces, the state of the app at that time, basic device information (model, OS version) and an installation identifier.
d) Performance data (Firebase Performance Monitoring). App start time, screen load timings, CPU and memory use, device information, an installation identifier and your IP address (used to determine the country).
Data is encrypted in transit. Google processes Firebase data as our processor. We do not sell your data. Retention follows the Firebase settings of the project.
a) Ads (Unity Ads). The free version shows a full-screen ad between games, served by Unity Technologies (Unity Ads). To show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Unity collects device identifiers (on Android the advertising ID, on iOS the identifier for vendors, and the advertising identifier only if you allow tracking), your IP address and approximate location, device information and how you interact with ads. Unity receives this data as an independent partner under its own privacy policy: https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy. In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland the app asks before Unity may personalize ads; elsewhere ads are personalized unless you turn off "Personalized ads" under Privacy & Terms. Ads still appear when personalization is off. On Android you can also reset or delete the advertising ID in your device settings.
b) Premium subscriptions (Google Play and the App Store). Premium removes ads and unlocks locked game modes and word packs. Purchases are handled by Google Play or Apple's App Store under their own terms; we never receive your payment details. The app receives the purchase status from the store to unlock Premium and records purchase events in Google Analytics. The number of free tries you used is kept on your device and in the cloud device record (2a) so that reinstalling does not reset it.
c) Tracking. On iOS, Unity uses the advertising identifier only if you allow tracking in the system prompt; you can change this in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. We do not build advertising profiles ourselves.
The app is intended for people aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app, contact us and we will delete the related record.
There are no accounts, so there is nothing to sign in to.
In the app: open Privacy & Terms from the home screen and use "Delete account & data". This deletes the cloud device record (2a, including the free-try counts) and clears saved players, game history, scoreboard and custom word packs on this device; your language preference is kept. If you are offline, the cloud record is deleted the next time the app connects. On Android the Android ID does not change, so if you keep using the app a new record is created the next time it opens; on iOS the identifier is reset. Deleting your data does not cancel a subscription; manage it in Google Play or the App Store.
Uninstall: removes all data stored on your device.
Request by email: write to timvpnsite@gmail.com. Cloud records are anonymous and are not linked to your name or e-mail address, and the app does not display the identifier, so we cannot look up a specific record from an e-mail alone. The in-app deletion above is the reliable way. Analytics, crash and performance data carries only random app instance and installation identifiers, never your name or e-mail address, so we cannot look it up from an e-mail either; it is deleted according to Firebase's retention settings. For ad data, contact Unity through its privacy policy.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU/EEA, UK or Turkey) you may have rights to access, correct or delete your data and to object to its processing. Use the contact above.
If this policy changes we will update the date at the top. Continued use of the app means you accept the updated policy.
