Lampwisp is a colour-sorting puzzle game for iPhone and Android made by Alberto Clemente ("we"). This page explains what data the game uses, why, and the choices you have. We keep it short and plain.
What stays on your phone
Your progress (the nights you have played, your moons, fireflies and settings) is saved on your device. You do not need an account, and we do not collect your name, email address or contacts. Deleting the app deletes this data.
The game downloads some of its music from lampwisp.com (hosted by Cloudflare) the first time a piece plays, and keeps it on your device. No personal data is sent: the request carries no account, identifier or cookie, only what any download does (such as your IP address).
Advertising
Lampwisp is free and shows ads through Google AdMob: a small banner under the board, an occasional full-screen ad between nights, and video ads you choose to watch for a reward. To show and measure ads, Google may use your device's advertising identifier, your IP address and information about the ads shown.
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before any personalised ads, using Google's consent form. You can change your choice at any time in the game's Settings › Ad privacy choices.
- On iPhone, the game asks for permission to track through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you say no, ads are not personalised with your advertising identifier.
- You can also reset or limit your advertising identifier in your phone's settings.
The game is not directed at children under 13, and it does not knowingly collect data from them.
Purchases
You can buy "Lampwisp Complete" to remove the banner and the ads between nights. Payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google; we never see your card details. We use RevenueCat to confirm and restore purchases. It receives a random app user id, your purchase receipts and basic device information.
Crash reports and usage statistics
With your consent, the game may send crash reports (Sentry) and anonymous gameplay statistics, such as which nights are won or lost (PostHog), so we can fix problems and tune the game. These use a random id kept on your phone, never your name, and are not used for advertising. Without your consent, nothing is sent.
Beta testers
Test builds of the game (through TestFlight or Google Play testing) have a few extra features, and they send some data to our own server at lampwisp.com (hosted by Cloudflare):
- Anonymous play statistics: how levels go (started, won or lost, stars, moves), the build and a random install id kept on your phone. They are on by default in test builds, and you can turn them off at any time in Settings › Privacy › Share anonymous play stats.
- The testers' board and weekly race, only if you join with an invite code: a nickname you choose, a random tester id, and your daily scores and race results, which other testers can see next to your nickname.
- Feedback: your answers to the in-game questions and any text you choose to write.
- The beta sign-up on lampwisp.com/beta: your email address, which phone you use, and where you came to the page from (the name of a link or website, such as a forum or Betabound, so we know where testers find us). We use it only to invite you: iPhone addresses are given to Apple, which sends the TestFlight invite, and Android addresses are added to the Google Play testers list.
Apart from the sign-up email, none of this includes your name, email address or advertising identifier, and none of it is used for advertising. We use it only to improve the game, and we delete it when the beta ends, or sooner if you ask.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR), you have the right to access, correct or delete your data, and to object to or withdraw consent for its use. Because we do not hold an account for you, most data lives on your phone or with the services above. Write to us and we will help, including with a request to Google or RevenueCat.
Deleting your data
To have the data we hold about you deleted:
- Email support@lampwisp.com with the subject "Delete my Lampwisp data".
- If you signed up for the beta, write from that address (or include it). If you joined the testers' board, include your nickname, so we can find your scores, race results and feedback.
- We delete them within 30 days and reply to confirm.
The anonymous play statistics carry no name or contact, so we cannot link them to you; they are deleted with everything else when the beta ends. Your progress and settings live only on your phone: deleting the app deletes them. Data that Google, RevenueCat, Sentry or PostHog hold under their own policies can be removed through them, and we will help you ask. You can also reset your advertising identifier in your phone's settings at any time.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date. Questions: support@lampwisp.com.
