Privacy Policy

Who we are

BoardMob is operated by Gridzy LLC, an Arizona limited liability company based in Phoenix, Arizona. In this policy, "BoardMob," "we," and "us" mean Gridzy LLC. You can reach us at hello@getboardmob.com.

What this policy covers

This policy covers the boardmob.app website, the BoardMob for iPhone app, and the BoardMob service you reach through them. It does not cover anything a host does outside of BoardMob, or any other site a link may take you to. When you download the app, Apple's own privacy policy applies to the App Store.

Information we collect

If you host a board

• Your email address. On the website, signing in works by magic link: you enter your email address and click the one-time link we send you. In the BoardMob for iPhone app, you can enter your email address and type the six-digit code we send you, or use Sign in with Apple. There is no password to create or store.
• Sign in with Apple. If you use it, Apple shares an email address with us: either your real address or, if you choose Hide My Email, a private relay address that forwards to you. We ask Apple only for an email address, not your name. Apple also gives us an identifier for your Apple sign-in, which we use to recognize your account.
• Your account identifier. Every host account has an internal ID that links the account to the boards it owns.
• The board details you enter. The board name, the names of the two sides, the board's state as it moves from setup to final, the numbers drawn for the grid, and the scores you enter for each period. In the app, this includes the names you enter when you assign squares to players.

If you claim a square on someone's board

• The display name you type. This is whatever you choose to enter. It does not have to be your legal name.
• Which squares you claimed and when.

There is no player account. Players are not asked to register, and we do not ask players for a postal address or any government identifier.

Technical information

Our hosting and database providers keep standard server logs, which can include IP address, browser and device type, pages requested, and timestamps. We use this to keep the service running, investigate errors, and prevent abuse. We do not use advertising networks.

When you sign in as a host, we set a cookie that keeps you signed in. It is necessary for the service to work and is not used to track you across other sites.

Website analytics

We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how people find and use the boardmob.app website: for example, which pages are visited and how visitors arrived. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and receives information such as the pages you view, your browser and device type, and your approximate location.

We set it up to leave out private information before anything is sent. Board pages and host pages are reported only as a general page type, without the board link, board name or display names. Sign-in pages are never measured, and we never send email addresses or sign-in links. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising.

We do not load Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager for visitors identified as being in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or when we cannot determine the visitor's country.

You can block or delete these cookies in your browser settings, or install Google's opt-out add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The iPhone app

The BoardMob for iPhone app does not include analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and it does not use your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone. It does not send push notifications. If you have chosen in your iPhone's settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide us with crash reports and other diagnostic data under Apple's own terms. Links to our Terms and this policy open in Safari.

How we use information

• To sign hosts in and keep them signed in.
• To create and run boards, and to push live updates to everyone viewing a board.
• To let a host see who claimed which square on their own board.
• To answer support messages you send us.
• To protect the service against abuse, and to meet legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it for advertising, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.

Who processes information for us

We keep the list of providers short and name them plainly:

• Supabase hosts our database, handles host authentication, and delivers the live board updates. Board data and claim data are stored there.
• Apple provides Sign in with Apple and distributes the app through the App Store. If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple confirms your identity to us and shares the email address described above.
• Vercel hosts and serves the website and the app.
• Google provides Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which measure how the website is used, as described under Website analytics.
• An email delivery provider sends sign in links and any service email.

These providers process information on our instructions in order to run the service. Information is stored and processed in the United States. Google may process website analytics data in other countries where it operates.

What other people can see

A board link is public. Anyone who has the link can open the board and see the board name, the two sides, the grid, the scores, and the display names shown on claimed squares. Please do not put anything in a display name that you would not want visible to everyone the host shares the link with.

Information kept on your device

When you claim a square, your browser saves the details you entered in local storage on your own device, so you do not have to retype them next time. That copy stays on your device and is not a separate record we hold. Clearing your browser's site data for boardmob.app removes it.

The BoardMob for iPhone app securely stores your sign-in session in your iPhone's Keychain and keeps certain app preferences on your device. Your session is used to authenticate requests to the BoardMob service. App preferences, such as whether you have completed the introduction, are stored locally. Deleting the app removes its ordinary local app data, but Keychain items may remain on your device.

How long we keep information

• Board and claim data is kept for as long as the board exists, so that hosts and players can come back to a finished board.
• A host's email address and account identifiers are kept while the host account is active. When you delete your account, they are removed from our active systems right away, along with your boards.
• Server logs are kept on our providers' standard retention schedules and are deleted on their normal cycle.
• Website analytics data. We configure Google Analytics to retain user-level and event-level data for 14 months, after which Google deletes that data according to its retention schedule. Aggregated reporting data may remain available for longer.

We do not currently delete old boards on an automatic schedule. If we introduce one, we will update this policy and state the schedule here.

Access, correction, and deletion

You can delete your host account in the BoardMob for iPhone app under Settings → Delete account. This deletes your account, every board you host and the links your players use to reach them, and it cannot be undone. If you use Sign in with Apple, we also revoke BoardMob's access to your Apple sign-in, and you will be asked to confirm with Sign in with Apple first.

You can also email hello@getboardmob.com to ask for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete it. To delete a board, write from the email address on the host account. To delete a claim, include the board link and the display name you used, so we can find the right record.

We act on verified requests within 30 days. We may keep a limited amount of information where we are required to by law or need it to resolve a dispute, and we will tell you if that applies.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your information. Write to us at the same address and we will honor requests we are able to verify.

Minors

BoardMob is for adults. Our Terms of Service require you to be at least 18 years old to use the service, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has given us information, email hello@getboardmob.com and we will delete it.

Security

Board and claim data is stored in a managed database with access rules that keep private fields out of public reads, and traffic to the site is encrypted in transit. No service can promise perfect security, but we design for the smallest amount of information that makes the product work.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date at the top. If a change is significant, we will make it clear rather than quietly swapping the text.
