Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 29, 2026

1. Who We Are

SideQuest (“we”, “us”), operated via sidequest.bingo and the SideQuest mobile app, is a social photo-bingo app and is the data controller responsible for your personal data. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have, whether you use SideQuest on the web or on your device.

2. Information We Collect

Account information — such as your name/handle and the identifier from your sign-in method (e.g. Sign in with Apple).
Photos & videos — the content you upload to complete bingo squares and the boards you participate in.
Usage data — basic activity needed to operate the game (boards joined, squares completed, reactions) and limited technical/diagnostic data.
Device & app data — limited technical information such as device type, app version, and crash diagnostics, used to keep the app working and secure.
Purchase information — where you make a purchase, the app store processes the payment and shares limited transaction status with us; we do not receive your full payment-card details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide and operate the Service: creating boards, displaying your content to other players, running the game mechanics, processing purchases, providing support, preventing abuse, complying with legal obligations, and improving the app.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where the GDPR applies, we process your data on the basis of: performance of a contract (to provide the Service you sign up for), your consent (where we ask for it, such as optional features), our legitimate interests (keeping the app secure and improving it), and compliance with legal obligations.

5. Third Parties

We share data with service providers only as needed to run the app:

Supabase — database, authentication, and media storage hosting.
Apple — Sign in with Apple and In-App Purchases (IAP). Purchase transactions are processed by Apple under its own terms.

These providers act as our processors and may process data outside your country, including outside the EU, under appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. We do not sell your personal information.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data and content while your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate operational needs (e.g. fraud prevention, purchase records).

7. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — such as encryption in transit and access controls — to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

You can access and update your information in the app. You may delete your account at any time using the in-app Delete Account option, which removes your profile and associated content as described above. Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. GDPR/CCPA), you may have additional rights to access, correct, export, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your data — contact us to exercise them.

9. Children's Privacy

SideQuest is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
