Deleting your account and data

What you can delete and how to do it

In short: Oyey has no accounts to sign up for, so there is no account or profile to delete. The app collects no personal data with one exception: if you claimed a reward with a code or installed the Android app from a creator's link, we hold settlement records linked to an identifier that holds none of your details — on iOS it is assigned by Apple, on Android the app itself attaches it to the purchase (point 4). Below we explain how to remove everything that can be removed.

1. Data in the app (on your device)

Settings and game data (for example the player names you enter, the intensity level you pick, the type of dares) are stored locally on your device only and are never sent to us. To delete them, uninstall the app from your device — this permanently removes Oyey's local data.

On Android you can also delete the same data without uninstalling: Settings → Apps → Oyey → Storage → Clear data (on some phones: Storage & cache → Clear storage). On Android the app data also holds what the app remembers about a code or a creator's referral: the creator's handle and a random string generated once on that installation (point 4). Clearing the data or uninstalling removes them along with everything else, and later purchases no longer carry the identifier. One caveat: for 90 days after installation the Play Store still remembers which link the app was installed from, so after merely clearing the data the app may read the link referral again at its next launch (with a new random string). Uninstalling closes that route too.

If you have Google backup turned on on Android, the system may save your crew, seen cards and game settings in that backup and restore them on a new phone. We have no access to that backup; you manage it in your Google Account settings. Code and referral data are never included in it.

2. Purchases (Apple and Google)

Information about purchases and subscriptions is tied to your Apple ID and processed by Apple, not by us. You manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings (see Terms, § 6). Your App Store purchase history is subject to Apple's policies and retention periods.

On Android, information about purchases and subscriptions is tied to your Google Account and processed by Google as part of Google Play, not by us. You manage and cancel your subscription in Google Play: at play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions or in the Play Store app (profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). Uninstalling the app does not cancel the subscription. Your Google Play order history (profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Budget & history) is subject to Google's policies and retention periods; how to manage and delete the information in your Google Account is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

3. Email correspondence

If you have contacted us by email (support, a complaint, a bug report), we keep that correspondence only for as long as we need it to handle the matter and for the applicable limitation period. To request its deletion:

4. Code and referral programme data

If you claimed a reward with a code or installed the Android app from a creator's link, we hold records of your purchases linked to an identifier that holds none of your details: on iOS it is assigned by Apple, on Android the app itself attaches it to every purchase (eight characters of a hash of the creator's handle plus a random string generated once on that installation). Details: Privacy Policy, section 5. Our register holds neither your name nor your e-mail address, so we cannot find those records from them. We need something that lets us recognise your purchase in the register.

To have them deleted, write to oyey.games@gmail.com. If you bought on an iPhone (App Store), give us:

All of that is on the receipt Apple e-mails you after every purchase — the simplest thing is to forward it. If you happen to have Apple's transaction identifier it speeds things up, but it is not required: the App Store does not show it in your purchase history, so we cannot ask you for it. We never ask for your password or any Apple account credentials, and we never will.

If you bought on Android (Google Play), give us:

The order number, date, amount and product are in the order confirmation e-mail Google Play sends to the Google Account used for the purchase — the simplest thing is to forward it. You can also find the order number in your order history: in the Play Store app (profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Budget & history) or at play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory. Unlike Apple's identifier, this number is visible to you, and we receive it from Google together with the purchase data, so it lets us recognise the purchase immediately; without it we can still manage, just more slowly. We never ask for your password or any Google Account credentials, and we never will.

Then:

Deleting settlement data does not take away your purchases or the reward from the code: entitlements to content are managed by Apple or Google, not by us.
