Who we are

VibeShift is a web-based party game operated by the VibeShift team. For any privacy question or request, contact support@vibeshift.pages.dev — include the device ID shown in the app so we can find your data.

The short version

VibeShift is designed to work without accounts. We do not require your name, email, or phone number to play. We collect the minimum needed to run the game and improve it.

What we store on your device

To make the game work we store small pieces of data only on your device (browser local storage): a random device ID, a session ID, your settings (vibe, toggles), player names you enter, and cards you've seen. You can clear these at any time by clearing your browser data.

What we process on our servers

Game data: temporary room state — including the current card, chat messages, answers, and votes written during play — so multi-screen play syncs in real time. Rooms automatically expire and are deleted after roughly 6 hours of inactivity. Room data is not linked to your real identity.

Analytics: anonymous usage events (e.g., a card was drawn, a room was created, a game round started) with your random device/session ID and browser type. These are not linked to your real identity. We keep usage events for a limited period (currently up to 90 days).

Card suggestions: if you submit a card idea, we store the suggestion text, the vibe/type/intensity you tagged it with, and your random device ID, so we can review it and potentially add it to the game.

Reports: if you report a card, chat message, or answer, we store the report details (what was reported, the reported text, and your device ID) so we can review it and take action.

Error diagnostics: if the app malfunctions, we may store a short technical error report (error message, app screen, browser type, and device ID) so we can fix bugs. These are kept for a limited period (currently up to 30 days).

Purchases: if you buy PRO, payment is handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We receive only a confirmation and a Stripe customer reference so we can unlock your purchase.

Service providers & where your data is processed

We rely on a small number of service providers to run VibeShift:

These providers may process data in countries other than yours (including the United States and the European Union). We share only what is needed for each provider to perform its function, and we rely on their contractual data-protection safeguards for such transfers.

Cookies

We do not use advertising cookies. We use local storage (described above) for the game to function.

Children & 18+ content

Some content — including the "Spicy" vibe and the highest intensity levels — is intended for adults and requires a one-time confirmation that you are 18 or older. When you confirm, we store only a yes/no confirmation flag linked to your random device ID. No birth date or other age information is collected or stored.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you have legal rights over your personal data:

Under GDPR and UK GDPR you can exercise these rights at any time; under CCPA/CPRA you can know, delete, and correct your personal information. Email support@vibeshift.pages.dev with your device ID — we respond within 30 days. Exercising your rights is always free and never affects your right to play.

Your choices

Clear browser data to reset the game; use the in-app "Continue Free" to decline purchases; contact us for any purchase question. You can ask us to delete a card suggestion or report you submitted by emailing us with the device ID shown in the app — see “Your privacy rights” above for the full list of rights.
