Privacy Policy

Welcome to Darewale. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website or services — including our game modes like Love Dare, Friends Dare, and Bestie Dare. We’ve written this in simple, human-friendly language so you can understand what we do with your data.

1. Information We Collect

Personal information (name, username, email, phone number) you provide when you register, create a profile, or contact us.
Game activity such as chosen dares, responses, participation details, scores, and shared content.
Usage data including IP address, browser type, device model, operating system, pages visited, session duration, and crash reports.
Cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep you logged in, and analyze usage so we can improve your experience.
Optional data — if you choose to connect social accounts, share dares externally, or enable location, we may collect limited data tied to those actions (only with your permission).

2. How We Use Your Information

To create and manage your account and make sure game features like challenges, leaderboards, and friend groups work correctly.
To personalize your experience by suggesting relevant dares, trending challenges, or friend-group activities.
To communicate with you about updates, feature releases, support replies, and important notices.
To prevent abuse and keep Darewale safe — for example, to detect fake accounts, cheating, or content that violates our rules.
To analyze and improve the app — we study usage patterns so we can add features, fix bugs, and make the game more fun.
To comply with legal obligations when required by law or to respond to lawful requests from authorities.

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data only in the following situations:

Service providers: trusted vendors such as hosting providers, analytics services, and payment processors who help us run Darewale.
Payment Gateways: if you buy premium features or in-app items, payment processors will receive necessary payment details.
Legal requests: to respond to lawful requests, prevent harm, or enforce our Terms of Service.
With your consent: for actions like sharing a dare to social media or inviting a friend — only when you choose to do so.

Every partner we work with is contractually required to protect your data and use it only to provide services to Darewale.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve site functionality, remember preferences (like language or theme), keep you logged in, and analyze usage patterns so we can make Darewale better. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you can disable them in your browser — however, some features may not work properly without them.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encryption for sensitive data, access controls, regular security reviews, and keeping software up to date. While we strive to secure your data, no system is completely immune to risk; if a security incident occurs, we will notify affected users and authorities as required by law.

6. Your Rights

You have control over your personal information. Depending on the laws in your country, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Update or correct inaccurate information.
Request deletion of your account and personal data.
Opt out of marketing communications and promotional emails.
Withdraw consent for features like location or social sharing at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@darewale.com. We will respond to requests in accordance with applicable law.

7. Kids & Teen Safety

Darewale is intended for users aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to remove that information promptly.

8. Third-Party Links & Integrations

Our platform may include links to third-party websites or services (for social sharing, analytics, or embedded content). These sites have their own privacy policies and practices — we are not responsible for their content or how they handle your data. Please review their policies before interacting with them.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide Darewale services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize it securely.

10. International Transfers

Darewale operates internationally. Your information may be stored or processed in countries other than your own. When we transfer personal data across borders, we take steps to ensure it remains protected — for example, through standard contractual clauses or other legal safeguards.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Darewale evolves. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email, in-app notice, or a prominent notice on our website. The date at the top of this page will indicate when the policy was last updated.
