Blip is a free game run by an individual operator ("we", "us"). This explains what data the game uses and — importantly — what it doesn't keep. You can reach us any time at hello@staydark.co.uk.
To let phones talk to each other in real time, Blip uses a public real-time messaging (MQTT) service. Your position and game messages pass through it during play. We don't control that third party's own systems; positions travel to the players in your room and aren't stored by us. If you run your own private server later, this changes accordingly.
Blip is intended for supervised group play. If you are under 18, you should only play with a parent or guardian's permission, and an adult should set the play area. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children — the free game doesn't ask for accounts or contact details. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we'll remove it.
Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018) you have rights over any personal data we hold about you — including to access it, correct it, or ask us to delete it. Because the free game stores almost nothing about you, there's usually little to hold, but you can contact us at hello@staydark.co.uk with any request or concern. You can also raise concerns with the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
