Privacy Policy
Effective date: 14 June 2026 · Last updated: 14 June 2026
1. Who we are
Gaspr ("Gaspr", "we", "us", "our") is a mobile social party game in which small groups of friends respond to comedy prompts and vote on the funniest answers.
For the purposes of UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), the data controller is:
Platr Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17002425, with its registered office at 65 Somerset Road, Huddersfield HD5 8JA (which operates Gaspr). Contact for privacy matters: info@gaspr.io.
This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Gaspr app, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the rights you have over it.
2. A note on our approach
We try to collect as little about you as we reasonably can:
- You play under a generated pseudonym — there's no free-text display name and we don't ask for your real name to show to other players.
- We do not use MAC-address fingerprinting or similar device-tracking techniques.
- We treat your IP address as a weak signal for safety and abuse-prevention only, not as a way to identify or profile you.
3. What we collect
We collect the following categories of personal data.
You give us:
- Account details — the email address you sign up with (used for authentication, account recovery, and important service messages).
- Content you create — your responses to prompts ("Responses"), the votes you cast ("Gasps"), and any comments you're able to post. This content is shared with other members of the group you're playing in.
- Reports and blocks — if you block another player or report content, we record that action.
We collect automatically:
- Group activity — which groups ("Houses") you belong to, your score/standing, and your in-app balance.
- Device and technical data — device type, operating system, app version, and a push-notification token if you enable notifications.
- Approximate network data — your IP address, used only as a soft signal to help detect abuse, fraud, and vote manipulation.
- Basic usage data — limited information about how the app is used, to keep it working and to improve it.
We do not collect:
- Real names for public display, free-text usernames, precise location, or special-category data (such as health, ethnicity, or religious belief). Please don't put sensitive personal information into your Responses or comments.
4. Why we use it, and our legal bases
| What we use it for | Legal basis (UK GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Running the game — accounts, groups, prompts, voting, scoring | Performance of a contract with you |
| Keeping the app safe — preventing abuse, harassment, cheating, and vote farming | Our legitimate interests in a safe, fair service |
| Sending push notifications | Your consent (you can turn these off any time) |
| Account and security emails (e.g. password resets) | Performance of a contract / legitimate interests |
| Improving and fixing the app | Our legitimate interests in maintaining a working product |
| Responding to legal requests and protecting our rights | Legal obligation / legitimate interests |
| In-app purchases (when available) | Performance of a contract |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we've considered whether those interests are outweighed by your rights, and we've limited what we process accordingly.
5. Who we share it with
We don't sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run Gaspr, and only as needed:
- Authentication and database hosting (e.g. Supabase) — to store your account and game data.
- Push-notification delivery (Apple Push Notification service and Firebase Cloud Messaging) — to send notifications you've opted into.
- Media hosting (e.g. Cloudinary) — to store and serve any images used in the app.
- App stores (Apple, Google) — they handle any future in-app purchases; we never receive your card details.
- Other players — your pseudonym, Responses, votes, and any comments are visible to members of your group, by design.
We may also disclose data where the law requires it, or to protect the safety of users or our rights.
6. International transfers
Some of our service providers are based outside the UK (for example, in the United States or EU). Where we transfer personal data abroad, we rely on an appropriate safeguard such as the UK Government's adequacy regulations, or the International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. How long we keep it
We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we need to keep limited records for legal, safety, or fraud-prevention reasons (for example, a record that an account was banned for abuse).
8. Security
We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including running all game logic on our servers and limiting access to data. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information and to respond to incidents.
9. Children
Gaspr is intended for users aged 16 and over. We don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at info@gaspr.io and we'll take steps to remove it.
10. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate data;
- ask us to delete your data ("right to erasure");
- object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing;
- ask for a copy of certain data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent (e.g. for notifications) at any time.
To exercise any of these, contact us at info@gaspr.io. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, though we'd appreciate the chance to address your concern first.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make a significant change, we'll let you know in the app or by email. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version.
