Privacy policy

Stackit is an app for iOS and Android for getting a full team together in online games — a board of players who are online, a queue that fills a squad around you, and lobbies you can put a time on, made by The It Group. This policy explains what Stackit does with your information, in the order it matters.

The short version

• Stackit collects only what the service needs to work. The whole list is below — there is nothing beyond it.
• The only third-party services involved are: Supabase, in London, which hosts the accounts, profiles, gamer tags, squads, lobbies, chat and profile pictures; Apple, Google or Discord — whichever one you sign in with; Apple or Google — whichever store you bought from — which takes the payment for Pro and confirms it. Card details never reach Stackit; Google, whose push service carries notifications to Android phones, and whose public servers help two phones find each other for a voice call; Sentry, in the EU, which receives crash reports — the stack trace, device model and system version, with no name, email or account attached.
• Your data is never sold, and never used for advertising or tracking.

What Stackit collects

Only what the service needs to work — and if you never sign in, almost none of this happens at all:

• an account — Stackit cannot be used without one. You sign in with Apple, Google or Discord, and that provider sees the sign-in; Stackit never holds a password
• the callsign and emblem you choose, and a profile picture only if you decide to add one — it is stored as a single file that gets replaced rather than piled up
• your gamer tags for each game, so a filled squad can hand them to each other instead of reading friend codes out loud
• your home server and any others you'll play on, your platform, games, self-reported ranks, modes, languages and rough availability, which is everything the board and the queue match on
• the messages you send in a squad or lobby room, and the ratings and tags teammates leave you after a game — a record of what happened, kept with the squad
• a notification token from your phone, if you allow notifications, so an invite still reaches you with the app shut. On iPhone that goes through Apple's own service; on Android it goes through Google's
• which screens you reached and which you left, written to Stackit's own database and nowhere else, so we can see where people get stuck
• nothing from a voice call. Voice is phone-to-phone and never passes through a server, so nothing is recorded and nothing is kept when the room empties. Two honest consequences of that: Stackit asks Google's public servers how your phones can reach each other, and because there is no relay in the path, the people in your squad room can in principle see your IP address — the same as any peer-to-peer call. Voice is off unless you turn it on, and then asks you again in every room

Where your data lives

Stackit needs servers, because more than one person has to see the same thing. Your data is held by the services named below and by nobody else, and it is not moved, sold, or shared beyond what the service itself requires.

Third parties

Stackit uses these services, and each receives only what it needs to do its job:

• Supabase, in London, which hosts the accounts, profiles, gamer tags, squads, lobbies, chat and profile pictures
• Apple, Google or Discord — whichever one you sign in with
• Apple or Google — whichever store you bought from — which takes the payment for Pro and confirms it. Card details never reach Stackit
• Google, whose push service carries notifications to Android phones, and whose public servers help two phones find each other for a voice call
• Sentry, in the EU, which receives crash reports — the stack trace, device model and system version, with no name, email or account attached

There are no advertising SDKs and no trackers in the app.

The App Store

If you download Stackit from Apple’s App Store, Apple may provide us with aggregated, anonymised statistics — download counts and crash reports, for example. These contain no personal information and cannot be traced back to you by us.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account from inside Stackit at any time — no email, no waiting, no retention offer. Deleting it takes what you wrote with it, and there is nothing we keep on the side.

Children

Stackit is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect anything from them. If you believe a child has given us information, tell us and we will delete it.

Your rights

UK GDPR applies. You may ask for access to your data, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to how it is used. Write to us and we will answer within one month.

Changes to this policy

If Stackit ever changes how it handles data, this page will be updated first and the effective date above will change. A promise kept simple: if the app starts collecting something, this policy will say so plainly before it does.
