Privacy Policy

Hareef · Last updated: 7 November 2026

Without an account

You can play the Letter of the Day without an account. Your settings and results are stored on your device only.

What we collect when you create an account

• Display name, email, phone number and country.
• Your password, stored hashed so we can’t read it.
• Your game results, question balance and purchase history.
• Your device’s notification subscription, if you turn on the daily reminder.

Why we use it

• To run your account and balance across devices.
• For the monthly board and the Hareef of the month prize, and to contact the winner.
• To reply to you about purchases or any problem.
• To send the daily reminder and occasional game news. You can turn this off in Settings.

Usage analytics

On the website and the Android app we use PostHog to understand how the game is played and improve it: app opens, screens opened, buttons tapped, rounds started and finished, and top-up steps. If you have an account, we link these events to your account ID, name, email and country.

We sometimes record how you interact with the screen (session recording) to find problems. All input fields (email, password, phone and name) are never recorded and appear hidden. Recordings are deleted within a month.

We don’t use this data for advertising and we don’t sell it.

Preventing abuse

We keep IP addresses briefly to limit repeated attempts (such as password guessing); these records are deleted within a day. We also keep it with question reports and the free trial game, to prevent abuse.

Purchases

Purchases are made through Apple or Google, and payment details never reach us. We use RevenueCat to verify purchases, sending it only your in-game account ID, without your name or email.

Who we share it with

• We don’t sell your data or share it for advertising, and there are no ads in the game.
• Only your display name is shown to other players on the monthly board.
• Data is stored on our hosting provider’s servers (Hostinger); we use RevenueCat for purchases, PostHog for usage analytics, and Apple and Google notification services.

Children

Hareef is a family game. If you are under 13, ask a parent to create or approve your account.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account any time from Settings → “Delete my account”, which permanently removes your data, results and balance. Details are on the account deletion page.
