Privacy
Letter Rip · last updated 10 October 2026
What we store
- A guest account. The first time you play, the game creates an anonymous account: a random ID and a sign-in token for this device. No name or email.
- Your progress in the game.
- If you sign in with Google or Apple: the account ID that Google or Apple gives us, your name, and your email address. With Apple you can choose to share a private relay address instead of your real one.
What we use it for
To run the game: keeping your progress and letting you pick it up on another device after signing in. We don't sell your data, and we don't share your account, name, email or progress with advertisers. The ads in the iPhone app are served by Google and work differently; see below.
Ads in the iPhone app
The free iPhone app shows ads: a banner on the title screen and a full-screen ad after every third game (never on the first time you open the app each day). They are served by Google AdMob. To show, measure and improve ads, and for analytics, AdMob can collect your device's advertising ID (only if you allow tracking), your IP address and approximate location, how you interact with the ads, and diagnostic data such as crashes and performance. This data is collected by Google, not by us: we don't give Google your Letter Rip account, name, email or progress. Google uses it under Google's policies.
- Your choices. Where the law requires it, Google's consent form asks before ads start. Then the iPhone asks whether the app may track you across other companies' apps and websites. If you say no, you still get ads, just less personalised ones. You can change this any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Where Google's rules call for it, the title screen also has a Privacy options link that reopens the consent form so you can change your answer.
- Remove Ads. A one-time in-app purchase turns off every ad, and the ads SDK doesn't start for you. Apple processes the payment; we never see your payment details. Whether you have bought it is checked with the App Store and remembered on your device, with no record on our server. Use Restore Purchases on the title screen after reinstalling or on a new iPhone.
The website has no ads, and the game has no analytics of its own.
Where it lives
Accounts and progress are stored with Cloudflare, which hosts the game's server. On the website, the "Continue with Google" button is loaded from Google. In the iPhone app, ads come from Google (see above).
Deleting your data
When you're signed in, choose Delete account on the title screen. Your account, sign-ins and progress are deleted from our server right away, and the game clears its copy on your device. Without an account, clearing the site's data in your browser (or deleting the app) removes everything stored on your device.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Features that collect more data, such as notifications, will be described here before they launch.
