Privacy Policy

Last updated 11 November 2026 · applies to the WitBall Party app for iPhone and the web version

In short: WitBall needs no account and collects nothing that identifies you. If you use the online features, the nicknames and scores you play under are stored so they can appear on the Hall of Fame and in leagues. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking.

Who we are

WitBall is made by Erim Labs ("we"). Contact: hello@witballparty.com.

What stays on your phone

Your settings, the players you've set up and your own copy of your scores. They're removed if you delete the app.

What is sent online, and why

Hall of Fame and leagues. When you finish a game, the nicknames you typed (up to 14 characters), the scores, the game, level and date are sent to WitBall's scoreboard so they can appear in the World Hall of Fame and in your leagues. Anyone can see the World Hall of Fame; a league's scores are seen by the players in it.
A random phone code. The app makes a random code on your phone to keep its scores together and protect them. It isn't your device's ID or an advertising ID, and it isn't linked to who you are.
Saved players. A player's nickname and look (hair, skin tone, build, outfit colours, glasses) are kept online for your phone only, so they come back if you reinstall. Nobody else sees them, and you can delete one any time.
Finding friends. The name you play under in leagues can be found by other players who search for it, so they can invite you. You can block a player so they can't find or invite you.
Playing on several phones. Players in a party see each other's nicknames, looks and scores while the party lasts. Parties run on WitBall's party server and nothing from a party is kept after it ends.
Reports. If you report a name as offensive, we receive that name, where you saw it and your phone code. A name reported by two phones is hidden from everyone. Offensive names are refused automatically.

What we never do

No sign-up, email, password, location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
No advertising, analytics or tracking, and no selling or sharing of data with anyone for marketing.

Purchases

The Trivia Pass, the Party Pass and new games are bought through Apple. Apple handles the payment; we never see your card or Apple ID details, only that a purchase was made so the app can unlock it. Your one free party is remembered on your iPhone (in its keychain), not on our servers.

Service providers

The scoreboard and this website are hosted by Netlify; the party server runs on Cloudflare. They process data only to run these services for us. The app and website load fonts from Google Fonts, which sees an ordinary web request (such as your IP address) under Google's own privacy policy.

Keeping and deleting

Scores stay on the Hall of Fame and leagues until they're removed. To have your scores or saved players removed, contact us with the nickname and, for a league, its code. We'll remove them within 30 days.

Children

WitBall is a game for everyone. It doesn't ask for personal information, and we don't knowingly collect any from children. We recommend children use a nickname rather than their real name. A parent can ask us to remove a child's nicknames and scores at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the CCPA) you can ask what we hold, ask for a correction or deletion, or object. Contact us and we'll reply within 30 days.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and note it in the app's What's New.
