Dust-Up Privacy Policy
Last updated: 11 October 2026
Dust-Up is made by Toby Johnson, trading as TJCreate, Lincoln, United Kingdom ("we", "us"). It is a game a household plays together: you set up the jobs that need doing in your home, and the app keeps score. This policy explains what data it holds, why, and what you can do about it. If you have any questions, contact us at hello@dustup.app.
The short version
Dust-Up holds your email address, the name you play under, and the record of the game your household is playing. The services listed below process information needed for sign-in, game storage, optional notifications and subscription access. We do not sell your data or use advertising SDKs.
What we collect
- Email address: to create and secure your account, whether you sign up with Sign in with Apple or with an email address and password. If you use Sign in with Apple and choose to hide your address, we only ever see Apple's private relay address.
- Account identifier: a unique ID that keeps your score attached to you.
- How you appear in the game: the display name you choose, your emoji and your colour. These appear to people in your household and are stored by our hosting service.
- The game itself: the jobs on your board, who did what and when, how long each took, points, streaks, personal bests and past seasons. This is the whole point of the app: it is the scoreboard.
- Things people in your household write: the names of jobs, the dares written for the wheel, notes left when a job is sent back, and the titles of favours in the shop. The app also includes starter jobs and favour ideas that your household can change.
- A battle cry, if you recorded one in an early beta: a voice clip of up to five seconds. The feature is switched off, so the app no longer records or plays these. Earlier recordings may remain in storage. Account deletion attempts to remove the recording; contact us if you need help with an earlier clip.
- Your household and who is in it: which household you belong to, when you joined, and the invite codes used to let somebody in.
- Notification tokens, if you enable notifications: so the app can tell you when somebody else in the house does something that involves you (finishing a job, taking one off you, asking you to take one on, challenging you to a duel, buying from your shelf) and when a sudden job lands. Notifications are optional and can be managed in your iPhone settings.
- Household access and purchases: the household plan, trial or paid-access status, expiry information and account identifiers used to link purchases to access. We never see or hold your card details. Payment is handled entirely by Apple.
- A score-change ledger: records of score changes used to investigate problems and support recovery. This is not a promise that a confirmed household reset can be undone.
- Technical information: the services used to run the app may process device, connection, purchase and diagnostic information, including technical logs, to operate and troubleshoot the service.
Dust-Up does not ask for your location, contacts, photos or health data. We do not use advertising SDKs or track you across other apps and websites for advertising.
Why we collect it
All of it exists to run the game: to keep the score, to show your household what everybody has done this week, to let people join your household, and to tell you when somebody has finished something. We do not sell data, and we do not use it for advertising. Game records are used to calculate scores, streaks and personal progress and show the household's results.
Who we share it with
- Supabase (database and authentication hosting): stores your account and your household's game data on our behalf, including account authentication, game records and any earlier battle-cry recordings held in storage.
- Apple: handles signing in with Apple if you choose it, takes the payment for any subscription, and delivers the notifications the app sends.
- RevenueCat: tells our app whether your household's purchase access is active. It processes an account identifier, purchase and entitlement information, and technical information needed to provide its subscription service.
We do not sell your data to advertisers or data brokers. Household content is processed by the services needed to run the app.
Other people in your household
Dust-Up is played together, so everybody in your household can see the board: what you have finished, how long it took, the points you scored, and anything you have written into the game. That is the game working as intended. Household access is restricted to that household; our hosting service processes the data to provide it.
An admin in your household can remove somebody from it. Doing so stops that person seeing the board.
Children
Account holders must meet the age requirement in our Terms of Use. Child seats are set up by a household adult and have no separate sign-in.
On the Deluxe plan an adult in the household can add a child seat. A child seat is not an account. There is no email address, no password and no way to log in to it. The adult types a name and picks an emoji, and the child plays on a device the adult already owns and is already signed in on. The seat stores the chosen name, emoji, household membership and game records. We suggest a first name or nickname rather than a full name.
An admin can remove a child seat. Removing a seat and deleting all shared game history are different actions. A child seat has no separate account or device notification token; notifications belong to signed-in devices. The app does not show adverts.
How long we keep it
We keep data for as long as needed to run and support Dust-Up and to preserve shared game records and accepted game actions. We have not established one retention period that covers every record, device copy, backup, log and service provider. Some data may remain in those places after account deletion or a household reset. Changing subscription access does not itself delete household records, although access to older records may change. Contact us at hello@dustup.app to ask what may remain or to make a privacy request.
Your rights
You can:
- Clear this week from Profile → Help → Reset options → Start this week again. Everybody's score for the week goes back to nothing and this week's completion records are cleared. XP and best streaks are kept; times recorded only in the cleared week may no longer appear.
- Clear your household's whole game from Profile → Help → Reset options → Wipe everything. This clears every past week, every level, streak, record time and season. Your list of jobs stays. Both resets affect everybody in the household and cannot be undone.
- Delete your account in the app from Profile → Account → Delete my account. This starts the account-deletion process, which requests removal of your sign-in account and retires your seat. The request can fail or stop part way. Shared game history and records of accepted game actions may remain. Earlier battle-cry recordings may also remain if their removal does not succeed. This process does not verify erasure from every device, backup, log or provider, and we do not describe retained records as anonymous. Contact hello@dustup.app if the request fails or you want us to review data that remains. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription; do that in your Apple Account settings.
- Ask us to delete your account, or ask us what data we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by emailing hello@dustup.app.
Depending on the law that applies, you may be able to ask for access, correction, deletion or a copy of your personal data, or object to or restrict some uses. Contact us at hello@dustup.app. You can also complain to the ICO in the UK or your local data protection authority.
