Get a Grip Privacy Policy
In short: your progress stays on your phone and the game has no ads. If you choose to join the online leaderboards, the game stores the climbing name and country you pick, your best times and replays of those climbs. It never asks for your real name, email, contacts or precise location.
Get a Grip ("the game", "we") is made by Steve Reeves. This policy explains what happens to your information when you play.
What we collect
Your progress (routes climbed, times, strength, settings and character selection) is saved on your device, and uninstalling the game deletes this local progress. The game has no advertising. Optional online leaderboards and purchases use the services described below.
If you join the leaderboards (you choose to, from the LEADERBOARDS screen), the game creates an anonymous online account and stores:
- the climbing name you choose,
- the country you choose (the game suggests the one your phone reports, and you can change it),
- a random player ID and a device installation ID for signing in,
- your best time and move count on each route, and your strength level when you set it, and
- a replay of each best climb (the climber's movements, used for racing ghosts).
Other players see your climbing name, country, strength level, times and replays on the leaderboards. The game does not ask for your real name, email, contacts or precise location.
You can hide another player's name; the list of hidden players stays on your device. If you report a name, the game opens an email in your mail app addressed to us with that player's ID, name and leaderboard. Nothing is sent unless you send that email, and we use it only to review and remove offensive names.
Optional character purchases
Max, the supporter character, is an optional, permanent cosmetic purchase through Google Play, using Unity In-App Purchasing. Google handles payment. The game receives product and transaction information to unlock the character and restore it on the same store account; it does not receive your payment card or bank details. Ownership is cached on the device so an already unlocked character can be used offline. Removing local game data does not delete your Google Play purchase history.
Who processes it
Leaderboards, sign-in and replays run on Unity Gaming Services (Unity Technologies), which stores this data on our behalf. See Unity's privacy policy. Purchases are processed by Google Play under the Google Privacy Policy.
Deleting your data
In the game, open LEADERBOARDS, tap your name, then DELETE ACCOUNT (tap twice to confirm). This deletes your online account, name, country, times and replays; they leave the leaderboards within a few minutes. Your progress on the phone stays. You can also email us (below) to ask for deletion.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13.
