PRIVACY POLICY

What you give us

• Display name — the name you enter the first time you open the app. Stored on your device, and sent to our game server so the friends in your session can see who's playing. Change it any time in Settings.
• Custom packs — any prompts you write when creating a custom pack. Stored on your device, and shared with your session's server only while a game built from that pack is actually running.
• Answers you submit — whatever you type or select while playing a round, visible to the other players in that round and stored only for the life of that session.

Collected automatically

• Basic device and app information (device model, OS version, app version) used to keep the app working and diagnose crashes.
• Purchase and subscription status, handled through Apple's App Store and RevenueCat.

What we don't collect

We don't ask for your real name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or precise location — and we don't require an account or sign-in of any kind.

• To run the game itself — connecting the players in a session, syncing scores and prompts in real time, and showing results.
• To provide and manage Outside Gold subscriptions.
• To diagnose bugs and crashes so we can fix them.

We don't use your information for advertising, and we never sell it to anyone.

While a game is active, session data — the pin, player names, scores, current prompt, and answers — is synced through Google's Firebase Realtime Database so every player's device stays in sync. Once a game ends, that data is deleted: typically immediately, and always within about ten minutes even in the rare case that doesn't happen right away. Pins are never reused for an old, finished game.

Your display name and any custom packs you've created live only on your own device, and stay there until you delete them or delete the app.

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run the app. Each processes data on our behalf, under their own privacy practices:

• Change or clear your display name any time, in Settings.
• Delete any custom pack you've created any time, from Custom Packs.
• Manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID account settings.
• Ask us what we hold, or request deletion, by contacting us below — since active sessions are already deleted automatically shortly after they end, most of what you'd ask us to delete is usually already gone.

If you're in the EU, UK, California, or another region with its own privacy law, you may have additional rights — such as access, correction, or deletion — under GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws. Contact us and we'll do our best to help.

Outside isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used the app and shared information with us, contact us and we'll remove it.

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will appear on this page with a new "last updated" date above. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the update.
