Your details at Tilt Party

Who I am

Tilt Party is published on Google Play by ThePinkRooster, a developer based in the Netherlands, who is also the controller for the data on this page. The app’s package name is nl.tiltparty.app.

Questions about privacy, and requests to see or delete what is held, go to info@pinkrooster.nl.

What the app collects

Nothing. Tilt Party does not collect, transmit or share any personal or sensitive data. Not your name, contacts, location, photos, files, phone number, or any advertising or device identifier. Nothing in the app can recognise your device from one session to the next.

The app opens no network connection of its own. It is fully playable in airplane mode. Only tapping Send a message sends anything out. Your browser does the sending; the app stays quiet.

What stays on your phone

Two things are stored locally, on your phone only, and never go anywhere:

• your settings: language, round length, how many passes, sound and vibration
• whether you bought the unlock, as a single yes or no

Your score

The running total lives in memory while a session is going and nowhere else. It is not saved and it is gone when you close the app. Tilt Party never records who played which round.

Motion sensors

The game reads your phone’s motion sensors to recognise the tilt that scores a card or skips it. Those readings are used as they arrive and then discarded. They are never stored, never written to a file and never transmitted.

If you buy something

Tilt Party has one optional purchase: a one-time unlock for the rest of the decks. It runs entirely through Google Play’s billing system. I never see your payment details — no card number, no address, nothing. Google processes that under its own privacy policy.

What the app gets back from Google is the fact that the unlock was bought, so you can reach the decks you paid for. That status sits on your phone, as described above.

Because Google’s billing library is in the app, the package declares the INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions. They are used by Google’s components, not by Tilt Party itself. The only permission the game asks for on its own is VIBRATE, for the buzz that tells the player holding the phone to their forehead whether a card was scored.

If you send me a message

Settings has a Something to say? row with a Send a message button. It opens a page on tiltparty.online in your browser. The app sends nothing itself: it hands your browser an address, and what happens next is up to you.

That address carries what I need to make sense of a report. You can read it in your address bar before you send anything:

• the app’s version
• the app’s build number
• your device’s Android API level
• your device’s Android version, for example 15
• your device’s make
• the model, for example Pixel 8 Pro
• the language you use the app in
• which motion sensor your device can use

And what happens to it

None of it can be traced back to you or to your device, and two reports from the same person are not something I can link together. You write the message itself on that page. You may leave an email address if you want a reply, but you do not have to: the field can stay empty and your message still arrives. If you do fill it in, it is the only personal data I receive from you, and I use it only to write back about that report.

As with any website, the values in the address also end up in the web server’s log. That is how the web works, and I would rather say so than not.

If you sign up

This website has two signup forms. For the closed test I keep your email address, your first name and which Android phone you have. For the launch alert I keep your email address and your language.

Why I use it

Test details are used to run the closed Google Play test. The launch list is used once, to tell you the app is available. Feedback is used to investigate and improve Tilt Party.

Feedback is processed for the legitimate interest of fixing the product. The two signup lists rest on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

Who receives it

The data stays in Tilt Party’s own database. The hosting provider processes the server storage and the access logs. Google receives something only if you make a purchase. Nothing is sold, and nothing is sent to an advertising, analytics or newsletter service.

How long it stays

By kind, and these are the periods the cleanup actually keeps to:

• closed-test signups: no later than 90 days after signup
• the launch list: after the launch message, or after 12 months if the app has not launched
• handled feedback: 30 days; other feedback: 12 months
• access logs: no more than 30 days
• what is on your phone: until you clear the app’s storage or uninstall Tilt Party

How it is kept safe

The app collects and transmits nothing of its own, so there is no traffic of its own to protect. What you send through Send a message travels to tiltparty.online over an encrypted connection. Your settings and the unlock flag sit in the app’s own private storage, which Android keeps separate from other apps. Anything that passes between the app and Google Play during a purchase is encrypted by Google Play itself.

What you can ask for

You can ask what I hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to feedback being processed, or withdraw a signup. Email info@pinkrooster.nl.

If you have never sent me anything and never signed up, I hold nothing about you and there is nothing to delete. Your purchase history is held by Google rather than by me, so requests about it go to Google.

If we do not resolve it between us, you can complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

Children

Tilt Party is not meant for children. It is built for adults and young adults. No deck sits behind an age gate: the app asks you nothing about your age, which is one more thing it does not need to know about you.

If this changes

If anything changes, the new version goes up at this address with a new date at the top. If it is something material, I will say so in the Google Play listing as well.
