Privacy Policy

Can You Play? (“we,” “us”) helps people organize casual games and get-togethers and invite friends to them. This policy explains what information we collect through our website and mobile app (the “Service”), how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

• Account information: your name, and the phone number and/or email address you sign in with. We don't use passwords; we send you a one-time code instead.
• Game information: games you organize (activity, name, location, address, date and time, number of spots, cost) and who is invited, along with each person's response.
• People you invite: when you invite someone new, you give us their name and phone number or email so we can send them the invite.
• Phone contacts (app only, with your permission): the app reads your contacts on your device so you can pick people to invite. Your contact list stays on your phone; only the people you actually choose to invite are sent to us.
• Text message preferences: whether you've agreed to receive texts, when your phone number was verified, and your replies to our texts (like Y or N to an invite, or STOP).
• Device information: if you allow notifications in the app, a push notification token for your device.
• Basic technical data: like any website, our hosting provider processes IP addresses and request logs to run and secure the Service.

App lock (Face ID, Touch ID, or Android fingerprint/face unlock), if you turn it on, is handled entirely by your device. We never receive any biometric information.

How we use it

• To run the Service: sign you in, create games, and send invites, reminders, and game-full confirmations.
• To contact you by text, email, or push notification about games you're part of, and about your account (like sign-in codes).
• To provide support and respond to your requests.
• To keep the Service secure and prevent abuse.

We do not sell your personal information, and we don't show ads.

Text messages (SMS)

We only send game texts to phone numbers whose owners have opted in and verified the number with a code. The one exception: when an organizer invites someone new by phone number, we send that person a single text with the invite. Reply STOP to any text to stop receiving them, or HELP for help. See our SMS program page for details.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third parties, except the providers that deliver the messages for us.

What other people can see

People invited to the same game can see your name and whether you're in, out, or haven't answered. An organizer who has played with you may see your phone number, so they can text you from their own phone; your email address isn't shown to other users. The app's administrators can see account details to provide support and run the Service.

Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Service, for that purpose only:

• Vercel (website hosting) and Neon (database)
• Twilio (text messages)
• Resend (email)
• Google Firebase and Apple (push notifications)
• Google Maps Platform (address search when you set up a game)

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety of our users or the Service.

Cookies

We use a single cookie to keep you signed in. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

Keeping and deleting your information

We keep your information while your account is active. You can delete your Can You Play? account at any time, in the app or on the website at canyouplay.co, from My Account → Delete account; this permanently removes your account, your invites, and the games you organize. If you can't sign in, email canyouplay.support@gmail.com from the phone number or email on your account and we'll delete it for you. You can change your phone number and email, and turn texts and game emails on or off, at any time in My Account.

Your privacy choices

You control your information. In the app, under My Account, you can:

• Delete your account and its data at any time (Delete account, at the bottom).
• Change your phone number and email.
• Turn text messages on or off (Notifications). You can also reply STOP to any of our texts.
• Turn emails about games on or off (Notifications). Sign-in codes are still sent so you can get into your account.
• Turn on app lock (Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint/face unlock on Android) to lock the app on your phone.

Push notifications and access to your contacts are optional and can be turned off any time in your phone's Settings. The app works without them. We don't track you across other apps or websites, and we don't sell your information, so there's nothing to opt out of there. For anything else, email canyouplay.support@gmail.com.

Security

We use industry-standard safeguards, including encrypted connections, to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, let you know in the app.
