Would You Rather?

Privacy Policy

Effective October 22, 2026 · Bang Bang Studios ("we")

Would You Rather? ("the app") is built to work without an account. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and your choices.

What stays on your device

  • Your answer history, favorites, custom decks, streak, settings, and Rather Profile are stored only on your device.
  • AI features (deck generator, Rather Profile, "Convince me") run entirely on your device with Apple's on-device Apple Intelligence model. Your themes and answers are not sent to us or to any AI provider.

What we collect

  • Votes. When you answer a dilemma, your choice (A or B) is recorded under a random anonymous ID created by Google Firebase Authentication, so each device votes once per dilemma. Votes are combined into public totals. The anonymous ID is not linked to your name, email, or Apple Account.
  • Dilemma suggestions. If you submit a dilemma you wrote, we store its text with the anonymous ID for moderation. Submissions may be added to future packs.
  • Usage analytics. Google Firebase Analytics collects app usage events (for example, packs opened and features used), device and app information, and an app-instance identifier, so we can improve the game.
  • Crash reports. If the app crashes or hits an error, Google Firebase Crashlytics sends a report with technical details (device model, iOS version, app version, and a short log of app actions such as "pack opened" or "vote sent"). Reports contain no names, answers, or other personal content.
  • Advertising. Free players see ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers, approximate location derived from your IP address, and ad-interaction data to serve and measure ads. Personalized ads and the use of your device's advertising identifier only happen if you allow tracking in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt and, where required (EEA, UK, Switzerland), consent through Google's consent form.
  • Purchases. Rather+ purchases are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details; we only receive confirmation of what you're entitled to.

How we use it

To run the game (global results, catalog updates), understand usage and fix problems, show and measure ads for free players, and review submitted dilemmas. We do not sell your personal information.

Third parties

Google Firebase (privacy), Google AdMob (how Google uses data in ads), and Apple (App Store, StoreKit, Apple Intelligence).

Your choices

  • Decline or change tracking at any time: Settings app › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
  • Change ad consent (where applicable): in the app, Me › Settings › Privacy › Ad privacy choices.
  • Rather+ removes all ads.
  • Deleting the app deletes everything stored on your device. To ask us to delete data tied to your anonymous ID, or for any other privacy request, email us. We'll respond within 30 days.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. The "After Dark" pack is restricted to adults 18+ by an in-app age confirmation.

Retention & security

Vote totals are kept for as long as the dilemma exists. Analytics data is kept according to Google's default retention settings. Data is transmitted over encrypted connections.

Changes & contact

We'll post updates to this page and change the effective date. Contact: WouldYouRather@bangbangstudios.net.
