DoubtiePrivacy Policy
Doubtie is a voice-led mystery game for iPhone. This policy explains what the Doubtie app and the Doubtie game servers handle while you play The Last Broadcast. Doubtie has no accounts, no advertising, and no third-party tracking.
What stays on your device
- Game progress and display caches so you can reread your notes.
- A random installation identifier and recovery credential, kept in the iOS Keychain so you can resume a case after reinstalling.
- Purchase state from Apple's StoreKit.
You can delete local game data from the app's settings.
What you send while playing
- Voice questions. Doubtie records audio only between tapping record and tapping send. The audio goes through the Doubtie voice server to our speech provider for transcription. It is not saved on our servers. The app keeps your latest recording only long enough to retry a failed send, then deletes it.
- Typed and transcribed questions. The text of your question and recent conversation with that character are sent to our AI provider to generate the character's reply and to update your case notes.
- Accusations. Your final accusation text is evaluated against the case solution.
Speech and AI providers
- Soniox transcribes voice questions and generates the characters' spoken replies from text written by our servers.
- OpenAI generates in-character replies, matches replies to case facts, provides hints, and evaluates accusations.
These providers process data under their own terms and retention practices. We send them only what is needed to play; we do not send your name, contacts, location, or other personal data from your device.
What our servers store
The game server keeps your case progress: notebook facts you have discovered, which characters are available, up to 16 recent turns of conversation per character, generated replies used for later prompts, purchase verification results, short-lived session tokens, and records that make retries safe. Copies of generated replies and retry records are deleted automatically after 30 days. Installation and purchase verification records are kept so restores work after reinstalling.
We keep a small set of operational events such as session start, paywall shown, purchase verified, and response timings. These events contain no dialogue, audio, or accusation text. They are used only to keep the game working and are not linked to your identity or used for tracking.
Payments
Apple processes all purchases. Our server checks Apple's signed transaction to confirm your unlock. We never receive your payment card details.
Deleting your data
Delete local data from the app's settings. To delete server-side progress for your installation, email support@labountylabs.com. We will confirm when it is done.
Children
Doubtie is intended for ages 13 and up. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
