Dead Giveaway privacy policy

Last updated: November 12, 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.

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.

Crash reports and timings. When the app or the room server hits an error, a report goes to Sentry, the service we use to find faults. A report says what went wrong and where in the code, the build of the app, and the state of your phone at that moment: its model, system version, language setting, screen size, free memory and whether it was on Wi-Fi. The app also sends timings, such as how long it took to open. The server sends its own timings and the warnings it writes. We send no unit name with a report. Sentry is set to keep no IP address, no device identifier and no place. Sentry keeps a report for up to 90 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.

Crash reports and timings go to Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.), which stores them in the United States. Sentry handles your phone's IP address to receive a report and is set not to keep it.

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

Cloudflare and Sentry work for us and may use the data only to provide their service. 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 and log are deleted within 30 days of the room ending. Crash reports and timings are deleted within 90 days. 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: 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.

The room server is run by Cloudflare, which may process data in the United States and elsewhere. Crash reports are processed by Sentry in the United States. Where data leaves your country, each relies 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, your platform and build number, and crash reports. 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.
