Privacy Policy
Pocketade is an app for playing and creating short mini-games. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We do not sell your personal information and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Information we collect
| Data | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account identifiers: your email address and password (stored hashed), or your Sign in with Apple identifier and your name if Apple shares it | When you create an account | To sign you in and secure your account |
| Profile: username, display name | During onboarding | Shown next to your games and on leaderboards |
| Gameplay: scores, likes | When you play or like a game while signed in | Leaderboards, like counts and your personal bests |
| Creations: the prompts you write, and the games, titles and descriptions that are generated | When you use Create | To build, store and (if you choose) publish your games |
| Comments: the text, photos and GIFs you post, and the comments you like | When you comment while signed in | To show your comments and replies to other players |
| Feed activity: which games you view and for how long, games played, and likes, comments, shares and follows, linked to your account or to a random ID created on your device | While you use the Play feed | To choose which games to show you next. It is used only inside Pocketade, never for advertising. |
| Notification token and time zone | If you allow notifications | To send replies, rematches and other activity you chose, and to avoid sending during the night |
| Safety: reports you file and creators you block | When you use those features | To moderate content and personalize your feed |
Guests can browse and play without an account; best scores and settings are then stored only on your device.
AI processing
When you create or edit a game, your prompt and the game's code are sent to Anthropic (the provider of the Claude AI models) to generate the game. We ask for your consent before your first creation. Anthropic processes this content to provide the service to us. Please don't include personal information in your prompts.
Service providers
- Supabase: hosting, database, authentication and file storage.
- Anthropic: AI game generation (prompts and game code only).
- Apple: Sign in with Apple, if you choose it, and push notification delivery.
- GIPHY: GIF search in comments. Your search terms are sent to GIPHY through our servers, without your account details.
Public content
Games you publish and comments you post (including photos and GIFs), along with your username, display name, like counts and leaderboard scores, are visible to other users. Drafts remain private to you.
Retention and deletion
We keep your data while your account is active. You can permanently delete your account at any time in Profile → Delete account. This removes your profile, your games and their files, your comments and comment photos, your scores, your likes, your feed activity and your build history. If you used Sign in with Apple, we also revoke the app's access to your Apple ID. Server backups are overwritten on a rolling basis.
Children
Pocketade is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data, or to object to its processing. Contact us using the details below and we will respond within 30 days.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit. Access is restricted by database row-level security, and games run in a sandbox with no network access.
