Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Vertebro LTD ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and shares information when you use the Imposter – Find the Spy mobile app (the "App") and this website (the "Site"). By using the App or Site you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

You do not need to create an account to play Imposter. Player names you type in are used to run the game on your device. We collect the following:

Information you provide

• Game setup data: player names/nicknames, chosen categories and game settings. This is used to run the game.
• Custom word pack prompts: if you use the custom pack feature, the text you enter is sent to an AI provider (see section 3) to generate a word list.
• Support messages: if you email us, we receive your email address and message.

Information collected automatically

• Device & app information: device model, operating system version, app version, language/region settings, time zone and IP address (from which approximate location may be derived).
• Identifiers: app installation identifiers and, where permitted by your device settings, an advertising identifier (IDFA / Advertising ID).
• Usage & diagnostics data: screens viewed, buttons tapped, game events, session length, crash logs and performance data. We may also use session-replay technology that records a visual reproduction of how the App is used to help us improve it.
• Purchase information: whether you have an active subscription or purchase, and transaction identifiers. We do not receive or store your payment card details; payments are handled by Apple.
• Push notification token: if you allow notifications.

We do not intentionally collect your precise location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera data.

2. How we use information

• To provide, operate and maintain the App and its features.
• To process and verify subscriptions and purchases and restore them across devices.
• To understand how the App is used, fix bugs, prevent crashes and improve gameplay.
• To show advertising and measure its performance.
• To send service messages and, with your permission, notifications.
• To respond to support requests, enforce our Terms and comply with the law.

Where the GDPR/UK GDPR applies, our legal bases are performance of a contract (providing the App), legitimate interests (analytics, security, improving the App), consent (where required, e.g. personalised advertising or notifications) and legal obligation.

3. Third-party services

We use trusted service providers that process data on our behalf or under their own privacy policies:

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with the providers above, with law enforcement when legally required, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.

4. Advertising

The App is supported by ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may use device identifiers and similar technologies to show ads and measure their performance, and may show personalised ads where permitted. Learn more about how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can limit ad personalisation and tracking:

• iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, and Apple Advertising settings.
• Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization.
• Where required (e.g. EEA/UK), we request your consent before showing personalised ads.

Subscribers to Premium may see fewer or no ads, as described in the App.

5. Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required by law. Analytics and diagnostic data are retained for limited periods set in our provider configurations. Game setup data is stored on your device and is removed when you delete the App.

6. Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, UK, California and other US states), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, to data portability, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. California residents may also opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising; we do not sell personal information for money, but ad-related data sharing described in section 4 may count as "sharing" under some laws.

To exercise these rights, email hello@verte-bro.com. We may need to verify your identity. You can also reset your advertising identifier, disable notifications and turn off tracking in your device settings at any time.

7. Children's privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK where a higher age applies), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security & international transfers

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Our providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
