Privacy

Murder Flat is a detective game made by False Peak. This page explains what the app and this website collect, why, and what you can do about it. We keep it short: we collect very little, and we never sell your data.

Who is responsible

False Peak, the developer of Murder Flat. Contact: contact@falsepeak.ch.

What stays on your device

Your progress (which cases you solved, a case in progress, your settings) is saved on your device. On the website it is saved in your browser's local storage. Nobody else can see it.

What the app sends, and why

• A random player ID. When you open the app, it signs in anonymously with Google Firebase. This creates a random ID that is not linked to your name, email or Apple ID.
• The leaderboard. To rank detectives, we store your random ID, the detective name and avatar you choose, which cases you solved and when. Your detective name and number of solved cases are shown to other players. If you do not want your real name shown, choose a different one.
• Purchases. Payments are handled by Apple. We use RevenueCat to check which purchases belong to your random ID, so the full case file unlocks on your devices. We never see your card or payment details.
• Downloading cases. The app and the website download new and updated cases from Google Firebase. Like any web request, this shows your IP address to Google for a short time, so the service can work and stay secure.

What we do not do

• No advertising and no ad tracking.
• No selling your data, and no sharing it with data brokers.
• No analytics that follow you across other apps or websites.
• The website uses no cookies and no analytics.

Services we use

• Google Firebase (authentication, database, cloud functions, hosting), operated by Google. Data is stored in the European Union.
• RevenueCat, to manage in-app purchases.
• Apple, for the App Store and payments.

Each service handles data under its own privacy policy and only for the purposes above.

How long we keep data

Leaderboard data is kept while the game is online, or until you ask us to delete it. Purchase records are kept as long as the law and Apple require.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your leaderboard data, or ask any question about your data. Write to contact@falsepeak.ch and include your detective name. Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, the UK or Switzerland), you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Age

Murder Flat is a murder-mystery game for teenagers and adults. It is not meant for young children, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
