Privacy Policy for GameUp

Last updated: February 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to GameUp ("we," "our," or "us"), developed by Mohamed Maache. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: Email address and password when you register for an account using email authentication.
• Camera Data: GameUp uses your device camera for real-time pose detection to track exercise form and repetitions. Camera data is processed entirely on your device using on-device machine learning models and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party.
• Game and Fitness Data: Exercise scores, game progress, achievements, leaderboard rankings, and workout statistics.
• Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
• Usage Data: App usage patterns, features accessed, session duration, and crash logs.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide and maintain our fitness gaming services
• Authenticate your identity and manage your account
• Track and display your game scores and leaderboard rankings
• Process pose detection on-device to provide real-time exercise feedback
• Improve app functionality and user experience
• Send notifications about game updates, challenges, and features
• Prevent fraud and ensure platform security
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Camera and Pose Detection

GameUp uses your device's camera to detect body poses during fitness games. This processing occurs entirely on your device using on-device machine learning (ML) models. No images, video frames, or pose data from the camera are uploaded to our servers. You can revoke camera access at any time through your device settings, though this will prevent you from using the pose-detection fitness features.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

• Firebase Authentication: For email-based account authentication. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Analytics Services: To understand app usage and improve the experience. Data collected is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
• Cloud Hosting: To store account data, game scores, and leaderboard information securely.

We do not sell your personal information to any third party.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service Providers: Third-party services that help us operate our app (hosting, analytics, authentication).
• Leaderboards: Your display name and scores may be visible to other users on public leaderboards.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit and at rest. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Game data may be retained to maintain leaderboard integrity. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us or using the account deletion feature within the app. Upon receiving a valid deletion request, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability (export your data)
• Withdraw consent at any time

10. Children's Privacy

GameUp is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly.

11. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside of your country of residence. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy within the app and updating the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
