Dead Giveaway privacy policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Dead Giveaway is published by Summit Labs LLC ("we"). This policy says what the app collects, why, and how long it is kept.

The short version

• There are no accounts. We do not ask for your real name, email address or phone number.
• We do not collect your location.
• There are no ads, and we do not sell or share data for advertising.
• What a room needs to run is kept for up to 30 days after the room ends, then deleted.

What the app collects

Your unit name. The name you pick, up to 10 characters. Everyone in your room sees it. It is stored on your phone and sent to the room's server while you are in a room.

What happens in the room. Your role, your HP, attacks, blocks, accusations and when they happened. The server needs this to referee the room and to show the recap at the end.

Distance and signal readings. During an attack, phones measure how far apart they are using Bluetooth and, where the phones support it, ultra-wideband. The readings are sent to the server so it can decide whether the attack lands. They say how far one phone is from another phone. They do not say where either phone is.

A push token. If you allow notifications, your phone gives the app a token that lets us send it a notification: that a room is starting or over, that you were hit while the app was closed, or that you were removed or the host changed. We keep the token with the room. To deliver a notification we pass it to Apple's or Google's push service.

Your platform and build number. When the app opens it asks the server whether this build can still play. That request says whether the phone is an iPhone or an Android phone and which build of the app it runs.

Counts that are not tied to anyone. When a room ends we record one line: the gameplay settings the host chose, how many players there were, how long the room ran and how it ended. That line carries no name, no device identifier, no store account and no place. We use it to tune the game.

A line for each attack. When an attack ends, the server writes one line to its log: the distance or signal reading, whether the room measured by Bluetooth or ultra-wideband, whether the attacking phone was an iPhone or an Android phone, and how the attack ended. That line carries no name, no device identifier, no room and no place. We use it to tune how attacks land. Cloudflare keeps the log for up to 7 days.

What the app does not collect

• Your location. On iPhone the app uses Bluetooth and Nearby Interaction. On Android it uses the Nearby devices permission and declares that it does not use it for location.
• Your contacts, photos, microphone or camera.
• An advertising identifier, or any identifier that follows you from one room to the next.

Where it goes

The room server runs on Cloudflare. Like any internet service, Cloudflare handles your phone's IP address to carry the connection. We do not store IP addresses with a room or with the counts.

This website, getdeadgiveaway.app, also runs on Cloudflare. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from anyone else.

Notifications are delivered by Apple (Apple Push Notification service) and Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging).

We do not give or sell room data to anyone else. We may disclose it if the law requires us to.

How long it is kept

A room's names, log and push tokens are deleted within 30 days of the room ending. The counts that are not tied to anyone are kept, because there is nothing in them to tie to a person.

Your unit name and settings stay on your phone until you change them or delete the app.

Children

Dead Giveaway is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has used the app, write to support@getdeadgiveaway.app and we will delete what we hold from their rooms.

Your choices

• Notifications are optional. Turn them off in your phone's settings and the game still works while the app is open.
• You can change your unit name in the app's settings.
• To ask about data from a room you were in, or to ask for it to be deleted before the 30 days, write to support@getdeadgiveaway.app. There are no accounts, so tell us the unit name you used and roughly when the room ran.

If you are in the EU or the UK

Summit Labs LLC is the controller of the data described here. We use it to run the rooms you join and to deliver the notifications you allowed: that is, to provide the game you asked to play (performance of a contract), and our legitimate interest in refereeing fairly and tuning the game. Push notifications rely on your consent, which you can withdraw in your phone's settings at any time.

The room server and push services are run by Cloudflare, Apple and Google, which may process data in the United States and elsewhere. Where they do, they rely on the safeguards the law requires, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

You have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive a copy of it. Write to support@getdeadgiveaway.app. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

If you are in California

We do not sell or share personal information, as those words are defined in California law, and we do not use it for targeted advertising. The personal information we collect is described above: a name you chose, what happened in your rooms, distance readings, a push token, and your platform and build number. You have the right to know what we collect, to have it corrected or deleted, and not to be treated differently for asking. Write to support@getdeadgiveaway.app.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date.
