Dust-Up Privacy Policy

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

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

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:

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.

Changes to this policy

Updates to this policy are published here with a revised date.
