Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Smack Talk handles information when you use our mobile app, website, support channels, live video features, gameplay systems, and purchases. This page is intended to support App Store review and give players a clear, plain-language privacy reference.

Information We Collect

• Account information, such as your player ID, display name, sign-in method, and optional email if you choose to secure your account.
• Gameplay information, such as match state, punches attempted, hits landed, combos, ability use, match results, rank, rewards, and inventory.
• Camera and microphone access, when granted, to enable motion tracking, live video match features, and voice/video functionality.
• TrueDepth-supported face tracking data on compatible devices, such as real-time face presence, face anchor position/orientation, and depth information used for AR gameplay alignment.
• Purchase information related to in-app purchases, entitlements, and virtual currency fulfillment.
• Reports, block lists, and moderation signals when you report another player or use safety tools.
• Support messages you send to us, including the contact details you provide so we can respond.

Camera, Depth, Motion, and TrueDepth Face Data

Smack Talk uses the device camera to detect body position, wrist movement, and punch motion during gameplay. Where supported, depth information may be used to better determine whether a punch is moving toward the screen. Camera and motion processing is used to power gameplay. Do not grant camera access if you do not want these features to operate.

Smack Talk may use Apple ARKit and TrueDepth-supported face tracking on compatible devices during gameplay. This processing may include real-time face presence, face anchor position/orientation, and depth information used to align AR effects, place cosmetic gear, and support gameplay motion tracking. Smack Talk does not use TrueDepth information to identify users, authenticate users, build biometric profiles, or track users across apps or services.

TrueDepth and face tracking data is processed temporarily on the device during active gameplay. We do not store TrueDepth face geometry, face anchors, facial maps, biometric identifiers, or Face ID data on our servers.

Live Video and Multiplayer

If you use live match features, your camera and microphone streams may be transmitted to other match participants through our live communications provider. Other players may see or hear what you transmit during a live match. Use the app in an appropriate environment and do not share sensitive personal information during live play.

How We Use Information

• To operate gameplay, matchmaking, live video sessions, progression, inventory, and purchases.
• To maintain safety features, including reports, blocks, abuse prevention, and moderation review.
• To provide customer support and respond to account, billing, or deletion requests.
• To improve reliability, performance, fraud prevention, and game balance.
• To comply with legal obligations and platform requirements.

Sharing Information

We may share information with service providers that help us operate the app, including hosting, authentication, live video infrastructure, purchases, analytics, crash reporting, customer support, and moderation. We do not sell personal information.

We do not sell TrueDepth or face data. We do not share TrueDepth face geometry, face anchors, facial maps, biometric identifiers, or Face ID data with third parties. Live camera and microphone streams may be transmitted to match participants through our live communications provider during multiplayer matches, but TrueDepth face tracking data is not separately transmitted or stored.

Purchases

In-app purchases are processed through Apple and may also be validated through purchase infrastructure providers. We do not receive your full payment card details from Apple.

Children

Smack Talk is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.

Your Choices

• You can disable camera or microphone permissions in iOS Settings.
• You can block or report players in the app where available.
• You can request account deletion using the account deletion page.
• You can contact support to ask about your data or request correction/deletion where legally available.

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for gameplay, account operation, purchases, safety, support, legal compliance, and fraud prevention. Some records, such as purchase records or moderation history, may be retained where necessary to protect players and satisfy legal or platform obligations.

TrueDepth and face tracking data is retained only temporarily in device memory while gameplay features are active and is discarded after processing. It is not retained in user profiles, gameplay history, purchase records, reports, or analytics.
