Privacy

Void is a game about not using your phone. It needs a few sensors to know that you have stopped, and a location to know where your stillness happened. This page says exactly what that means.

What stays on your device, always

• Camera images. The front camera (or the Face ID infrared sensor) is used only to detect whether your eyes are closed and whether a face is present. Frames are processed on the device and discarded immediately. No image, video, or face model is ever stored, uploaded, or transmitted.
• Microphone audio. The microphone measures how loud the room is, as a single number. No audio is recorded, stored, or transmitted.
• Motion data. Accelerometer and gyroscope readings are used to tell whether the phone is in a hand. They are not stored or transmitted.
• Continuous tracking. Your position is read only while a session is running and you are holding the phone with your eyes closed. You are not followed in the background, and no trail of where you went is kept.

What is stored on our servers

• Your email address, to sign you in.
• Your points and quiet time, so progress follows you between devices.
• Void territory: the places you sat, to within a few metres, and how long you spent in each. Spots within 10 metres of one another are merged before anything is sent, so what is kept is a handful of places rather than a path.
• A username, only if you choose one, and friendships, only if you make them.

Who can see your voids

Every void is hidden by default. You decide, void by void:

• Hidden: nobody sees its shape or location. It contributes only to a coarse, ownerless fog covering roughly a square kilometre, which no one can trace back to you or to a particular address. You may let accepted friends see your hidden voids; that is one setting on your profile, off unless you turn it on.
• Anonymous: the shape is drawn for everyone, with no name and no account attached. The map does not say whose it is, and gives out nothing that would let one anonymous void be linked to another.
• Public: the shape is drawn for everyone, on the shared map and at void-map.pages.dev, to within a few metres, labelled with your username.

Be deliberate about the last one. A public void is a place you have spent time, shown precisely, with your name on it — treat making one public as you would putting a pin on a map of where you live.

Nothing about your live position is ever shared, and no void says whether you are there now. A void records where you have been still in the past, not where you are.

What we never do

• No advertising, no ad identifiers, no tracking across apps or websites.
• No selling or sharing of personal data with data brokers.
• No analytics or behavioural profiling.
• No use of face data for identification, and none of it leaves the device.

Services we rely on

Accounts and game data are stored with Supabase (Postgres hosting). Map tiles come from MapTiler and OpenStreetMap. The website is hosted by Cloudflare. These providers process data on our behalf to run the service.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account from inside the app, under Account in the menu. It is immediate and permanent: your account, your territory and its shapes, your points and quiet time, your friendships, and any team or contest you created are all removed, and there is no archive from which they could be restored.

If you cannot sign in, email contact@suncostlabs.com from your account's address and we will do it for you within 30 days. There is more detail at deleting your account.

Children

Void is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date above changes and we will note it in the app.
