Party Starter privacy policy

Effective 14 November 2026

Party Starter is a puzzle game, as an Android app and on this website. There are no accounts. If you agree, we count plays and scores with Google Analytics, as described below. The only ads are in the app, and only ones you choose to watch for a hint or an extra try.

What stays on your device

Your tries, stars, streak, trophies and settings are saved on your device (in the app, or in your browser's storage on the website) so you can pick up where you left off. They never leave it, and they are deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data, or clear this site's data in your browser.

Usage statistics, if you agree

The first time you open the app or the website, it asks whether we may count plays with Google Analytics for Firebase. Nothing is collected unless you say OK. If you do, Google receives events such as a try being played, its stars, a hint being used and a result being shared, together with device and browser information, an approximate location from your IP address, and an identifier for your app install or browser. On the website that identifier is kept in cookies whose names start with _ga. We use the totals to see which floors are too hard and how many people play.

You can change your answer at any time: in the app under Settings → Usage statistics, and on the website under How to play → Cookie choices, which also deletes the cookies. How Google handles this data: firebase.google.com/support/privacy.

Reminders

If you turn on the daily reminder, the app asks for permission to show notifications. The reminders are scheduled on your phone and shown by Android. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, and you can turn them off in Settings at any time.

Sharing a result

When you tap Share result, the app gives a short text summary of your score to your phone's share menu. Where it goes from there is up to you and the app you choose. Nothing is sent to us.

Ads you choose to watch

The game never shows an ad on its own. If you tap a button marked as an ad (a hint, or one more try at the daily floor), the app loads and plays a video ad using Google AdMob. To do that, Google's ad software in the app may collect and use your device's advertising ID, IP address (which gives an approximate location), device and app information, and how you interact with the ad, to show and measure ads and prevent fraud. Where the law requires it, you are asked for your choices before the first ad, and you can change them later under Ad privacy choices in Settings. If you never tap an ad button, no ad is requested.

How Google uses this information: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.

Internet

The puzzles ship inside the app. It connects to the internet only for the usage statistics and ads described above. If a future version downloads new puzzles, it will only fetch public puzzle files, sending nothing about you, and this page will be updated first.

Children

Party Starter is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

Any change to this policy will be posted on this page with a new date.
