Privacy policy

Who we are

GibberFlip is made by an independent developer. You can reach us at hello@gibberflip.com.

Your microphone and your recordings

GibberFlip asks to use your microphone so you can record your attempts. It only listens while you hold the record button. If you say no, you can still look around the app; you just can’t record. You can change your mind any time in your phone’s Settings.

When you record, the app turns your take the right way round and scores it, all on your phone. Recordings are not sent to us or to anyone else.

Ads

Free players see short ads between levels. Never while you’re playing, recording or hearing a result. A one-time “Remove Ads” purchase turns them off for good.

Ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect information about your device (such as an advertising identifier, IP address and how you interact with ads) to show and measure ads. We only show personalised ads if you allow it: on iPhone through Apple’s tracking prompt, and where the law requires it, through a consent message. Otherwise you’ll see non-personalised ads.

What we don’t collect

We don’t collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or location, and there’s no account to make. We don’t use analytics or crash-reporting tools of our own. The ad provider described above may collect device information to show ads.

What stays on your device

Your progress (levels, stars), your settings (like sound on or off) and a note of which packs you’ve unlocked are saved on your phone so the game remembers where you got to. If you delete the app, they’re deleted too. Your phone’s own backups (such as iCloud or Google backups) may include this data, under Apple’s or Google’s privacy terms.

Purchases

GibberFlip is free to download. Extra phrase packs and “Remove Ads” are one-time purchases. Payments are handled entirely by the App Store (Apple) or Google Play (Google). We don’t see or store your card details. The store tells the app what you’ve bought so it can unlock it, and “Restore purchases” asks the store again.

If you email us

If you write to us (for help, or to join the beta), we use your email address only to reply to you and, if you asked, to invite you to test the app. We don’t sell it, share it or add you to a mailing list you didn’t ask for. Ask us to delete your emails at any time.

Children

GibberFlip is made to be fun for all ages. We don’t ask anyone for personal details, children included. If you’re a parent or guardian and have a question, email us.

Things that might come later

We’re planning some features that would change how data is handled. None of them are in the current version.

• Party rooms. To let friends hear each other’s attempts on their own phones, short audio clips (a few seconds each) would be sent through our server to the other players in the room, and deleted automatically within 24 hours.
• Sharing a clip. We might let you save or share a video of a funny attempt. That would only ever happen when you choose to share it.

Before any of these ship, we’ll update this policy and let you know in the app.

This website

gibberflip.com doesn’t use cookies, analytics or trackers, and it doesn’t load anything from other companies. It’s hosted by Cloudflare, which processes basic technical information (such as your IP address) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks.

Your choices and rights

You’re in control: you can turn the microphone off in Settings, change your ad-tracking choice in your phone’s privacy settings, and deleting the app deletes your recordings and progress. If you’ve emailed us and want those emails deleted, or have any other privacy question, write to hello@gibberflip.com.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. For bigger changes, we’ll tell you in the app.
