Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the Glype app ("we", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our mobile application. By using Glype, you agree to the terms described here.

1. Information we collect

1.1. Account information

Email address — used for authentication, essential communication and, occasionally, invitations to research about the app (see section 2).
Password — stored as a cryptographic hash by our authentication provider.
Username — publicly visible on your profile.

If you choose to sign in with Apple Sign-In or Google Sign-In, we only receive the information you authorize the provider to share (usually name and email).

1.2. Profile information (optional)

Display name, bio, location (free text you provide).
Avatar URL.
Favorite game genres.
Top 5 favorite games.

1.3. User-generated content

Reviews — text, score, tags (completed, contains spoiler, hours played).
Library — games you've added and their status (playing, played, wishlist, dropped).
Comments on other users' reviews.
Likes and follow relationships.

1.4. Usage and diagnostic data

To understand how the app is used and to fix errors, we automatically collect:

App usage — screens visited, actions such as posting a review, following someone or adding a game to your library, and when the app is opened or closed. We also record the device model, operating system, app version and an approximate location (country and city) estimated from the IP address. Collected by PostHog.
Errors and performance — error and crash reports and performance measurements, with the device model, operating system and app version. Collected by Sentry.

This data is linked to your account only through an internal identifier. We never send your email or name to these services.

1.5. Information we do NOT collect

We do not collect your GPS location.
We do not use usage data for advertising or share it with ad networks.
We do not track your behavior across apps or websites.
We do not display ads.
We do not sell your information to third parties.

2. How we use your information

To provide and operate the app (authentication, data sync).
To display your public profile and content to other users, per visibility settings.
To personalize game recommendations based on your favorite genres.
To send in-app notifications (likes, comments, new followers).
To understand how the app is used and fix errors, using usage and diagnostic data.
To respond to support requests you send.
To occasionally invite you to answer surveys or take part in interviews about the app, by email or in the app. Taking part is optional, and you can ask to stop receiving these invitations at any time by replying to the invitation itself or writing to the contact in section 9. We do this based on our legitimate interest in improving the app.

3. Third-party sharing

Glype uses the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf:

Supabase (database and authentication) — securely stores your account, profile, reviews, library, comments, and social relationships. Supabase Privacy.
Apple Sign-In — only if you choose to sign in with your Apple ID. Apple Privacy.
Google Sign-In — only if you choose to sign in with your Google account. Google Privacy.
PostHog (analytics, servers in the European Union) — receives the usage data described in section 1.4. PostHog Privacy.
Sentry (error monitoring, servers in the United States) — receives the error and performance reports described in section 1.4. Sentry Privacy.
RAWG and IGDB — we use their APIs to fetch public game information (cover, description, ratings). No personal data of yours is sent to them.

Some of these services process data outside Brazil, including in the European Union and the United States.

4. Storage and security

Your data is stored on Supabase servers. We follow these practices:

Passwords stored with cryptographic hashing.
Communication via HTTPS (TLS).
Access to your data restricted via Row Level Security — only you can modify your own account's data.

5. Your rights

You have the right to:

Access the data we hold about you.
Correct inaccurate information in your profile.
Delete your account and all associated data — in the app itself, on the Profile tab, at the bottom of the screen, under "Delete account" (deletion is immediate), or by emailing support (below), and we'll complete it within 7 business days.
Export a copy of your data.
Withdraw consent at any time.
Stop receiving research invitations.

Once an account is deleted, usage and diagnostic data already collected remains linked only to an internal identifier that no longer matches any account, with no email or name.

These rights are guaranteed under LGPD (Brazil) and GDPR (European Union).

6. Public content

Some information is public by default and visible to any user of the app:

Username, display name, bio, location, avatar.
Reviews marked as public.
Top 5 favorite games.
Favorite genres.
Who you follow and who follows you.

7. Children

Glype is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn that data from a child under 13 has been collected, we will delete it immediately.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via the app or email.
