Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

The short version

TAP IT! has no accounts, no ads and no third-party analytics. Almost everything stays on your phone. The few things that do reach our server are listed below. We never sell data, and the only things other people can see are the leaderboard names and scores you choose to post (with your daily streak on the DAILY RUN board), and your player name in an online match.

Who we are

TAP IT! is made and published by Gronthor Games LLC, based in the USA (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the TAP IT! game for Android and this website, tapitgame.com.

What stays on your phone

Your scores, streaks, badges, settings and progress are saved on your phone and never leave it, except as described below.

Microphone and speech recognition

The microphone is used only for the BEEP IT and QUACK IT commands, with speech recognition that runs entirely on your phone. No audio is recorded, stored, or sent to us or to anyone else. If you don't allow microphone access, the game shows on-screen BEEP and QUACK buttons instead.

Leaderboards

Leaderboards are opt-in: nothing is posted until you set a player name in LEADERBOARD. After that, the game posts your solo and DAILY RUN scores at the end of each run. Each post contains the player name you chose (1–12 characters; please don't use your real name), your score, and two run stats (how long the run lasted and how many commands you survived) that we use to reject impossible scores. DAILY RUN posts also carry your current daily streak (how many days in a row you've played the DAILY RUN), which is shown next to your name on the daily leaderboard.

Leaderboard names, scores and daily streaks are public: anyone playing TAP IT! can see them, and they may also appear on tapitgame.com. After a DAILY RUN the game may also send that score on its own to ask how it compares with today's other runs (the “you outlived 82% of today's players” line). Nothing else is sent with it.

Online versus

If you create or join an online match, our server receives the player name you chose, a random ID created for this install of the game (it is not linked to you or to any other identifier on your phone) that holds your seat if you briefly disconnect, and whether you own the COUNT TAPULA pack, so his THUMP IT! command can join that match. Your name, round results and scores are visible to the other players in that lobby. Lobbies are temporary: match data lives in server memory only and is discarded when the lobby closes.

Anonymous gameplay statistics

At most once a day, the game may send anonymous totals of which commands ended your runs (for example, “SHAKE IT: 3”). They carry no name, ID or anything else that could identify you, and we use them only to find commands that are unfairly hard.

Purchases

The Multiplayer Pack and the announcer packs are sold through Google Play Billing. Google processes the payment, and we never see your card or other payment details. The game only learns which packs your Google Play account owns, so it can unlock them. Google's own privacy policy covers what Google Play collects.

Server logs

Like most web servers, ours keeps standard access logs of the requests it receives, both from the game (leaderboard posts, online matches, the anonymous statistics above) and from this website. Each entry records the IP address, the date and time, the address requested (for a few game requests this includes a score), the user-agent string sent by the game or your browser, and, for web pages, the page that linked there. We use these logs only for security and troubleshooting.

This website

tapitgame.com uses no cookies, no ads and no analytics scripts. When you follow a “Get it on Google Play” link here, the server adds one to a click count for that link, a plain total that records nothing about who clicked, then sends you on to Google Play. The home page's animations load from the jsDelivr content network, and if a video is shown, YouTube's player (youtube-nocookie.com) loads only after you press play.

How long we keep it

• Leaderboard names and scores: kept until you ask us to delete them.
• Online match data: discarded when the lobby closes.
• Anonymous command totals: kept only as aggregate counts that identify no one.
• Server access logs: kept only as long as we need them for security and troubleshooting.
• Purchase records: kept by Google Play under Google's policies, not by us.

Your choices and deletion

Posting scores and playing online are optional; solo play works without either. To have leaderboard entries deleted, email support@tapitgame.com with the player name and roughly when you posted, and we'll remove them. There are no accounts, so that's how we find your entries.

Children

TAP IT! is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a leaderboard name identifies a child, email us and we'll remove it.

Security

Everything the game sends to our server travels over encrypted HTTPS connections, and we keep only the small amount of data described on this page.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
