Privacy Policy
Effective November 9, 2026
Gridiculous is a word game made by Luke Noll (Shibrex Studios) ("we"). This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how long it's kept. The short version: you don't make an account, we don't ask for your email, and there are no ads, analytics or tracking.
What stays on your phone
Your settings, stats, streaks, achievements, levels and word collection are saved only on your phone. They're never sent to us. Uninstalling the app deletes them.
Online games and the daily
To play friends online, and to show how many of the day's players reached each rank on the daily, the app signs in to our server with an anonymous account: a random ID made on your phone, with no email, phone number or password. With it, the server keeps:
- Online games: the name you type for the game, the game's settings and code, and the words you find each round. The other players in that game see your name and words. A game and everything in it is deleted a day after its last activity.
- Daily scores: your score and rank for the day, with your anonymous ID, so the app can count how many players reached each rank. Nobody sees your score but you; others only see the counts. Scores are deleted after 30 days.
Please don't use your full name or anything private as your game name.
Camera
The camera is only used, when you choose to, to scan a friend's game code. The picture is never saved or sent anywhere.
Notifications
If you turn on the daily reminder, it's scheduled on your phone. We don't send push notifications and don't receive anything about them.
Services we use
- Supabase hosts the server for online games and daily scores.
- Expo delivers app updates. When the app checks for an update, Expo's servers receive basic technical information such as the app version and your IP address.
Like most online services, these may keep short-lived technical logs, such as IP addresses, for security and to keep things running. We don't sell or share your information with anyone else, and we don't use it for advertising.
Children
Gridiculous is a game for everyone. It doesn't ask for anyone's personal information. The only thing a player types that leaves the phone is the name they choose for an online game, which is deleted with the game.
Deleting your information
Online games are deleted a day after they end and daily scores after 30 days, on their own. To have your anonymous account and anything left with it deleted sooner, email us at shibrexstudios@gmail.com with the online ID shown at the bottom of the app's Settings, so we can find it.
Changes
If the app starts collecting anything new, for example if ads are added, we'll update this policy and its date before that version is released.
