Privacy Policy
Last updated 20 August 2026
Pass the Phone does not collect anything.
There is no account to create, no server for the app to talk to, and no analytics of any kind. The app cannot see who you are, who you play with, what anybody answered, or that you opened it at all. This is not a policy we intend to follow - it is a description of how the app is built.
What is stored, and where
A few things are saved on your device only, so the app is useful the second time you open it. None of it is ever transmitted anywhere.
| What | Why it exists |
|---|---|
| Player names you type | So a group of regulars does not retype the same names every time. |
| Saved groups | So you can fill the table in one tap when you play with different sets of people. |
| How many rounds of each game you have played | To put the games your table actually plays near the top of the list. |
| Finished Party Nights | The date, the winner's name and the score, so "who has won the most nights" survives. |
| Which cards you have already been shown | So questions and locations do not repeat until the deck has been worked through. |
| Your settings | Vibration, keeping the screen on, and whether to remember names. |
Deleting the app removes all of it. There is no copy anywhere else, and no way for us to recover it, because we never had it.
What is never stored
- What happens inside a round. Who the spy was, what anybody wrote, what was drawn, who was accused - none of it is written down. It exists in memory while you are playing and is gone when the round ends or the app closes.
- Anything that identifies you. No email, no phone number, no advertising ID, no device fingerprint, no location.
Share codes
You can copy a saved group as a short code and send it to somebody, so they can add the same group to their phone. The code is copied to your clipboard and nowhere else. It never touches us or any server. It travels only through whatever app you choose to paste it into, and it contains only the group name and the player names you typed.
Permissions
The app requests vibrate, and nothing else. It explicitly blocks the microphone, camera, location, contacts and storage permissions that would otherwise be pulled in by the libraries it is built on. You can check this yourself in the app's permission list on your phone.
The app also declares internet access because Android applications include it by default, but Pass the Phone makes no network requests. Every game works with the phone in aeroplane mode.
Children
Pass the Phone is intended for teenagers and adults. It contains humour about friends and everyday embarrassment. It contains no alcohol, no sexual content, nothing physically risky and nothing about race, religion or anybody's body - but the questions and dares are written for people old enough to enjoy being teased. It is not designed or directed at children under 13, and it collects nothing from anybody of any age.
Third parties
There are none. No advertising network, no crash reporting, no attribution, no third-party analytics, and no data shared with or sold to anyone. If that ever changes, this page will be updated before the change ships and the app's listing will say so.
Your rights
Regulations such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export and delete the personal data a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing to access, export or delete on our side. Everything the app knows is on your phone and is removed entirely when you uninstall it or clear the app's storage.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it and the previous behaviour is described in the section it affects.
