Shout Dive ("the App") is a voice-controlled diving game published by Compass & Crane. This policy explains what data the App accesses and how it is used.
🎙️ Microphone
The App uses your device's microphone to measure real-time voice volume, which controls the diver's buoyancy. Audio is analyzed on-device only, in memory, and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere. No audio file is ever created. You may deny microphone access and use Touch Mode instead, which does not use the microphone.
💾 Data stored on your device
The App stores the following locally on your device only (not on any server):
- Your chosen or auto-generated nickname
- Your best score and local leaderboard entries
- Your language and sound preferences
This data is not linked to your identity, is not shared with the developer, and is not transmitted off your device.
🌍 Global leaderboard
When you finish a run that passes the App's built-in anti-cheat check, the App uploads your nickname, country flag, score, coins, and distance to a global Top 100 leaderboard hosted on Supabase, so you can see how you rank against other players worldwide.
This upload is tied only to a random, anonymous device identifier generated and stored on your device — never to your name, email, account, or any other personal information, and the App has no account or sign-in system. Your nickname is displayed publicly on the leaderboard; you can change it at any time from Settings, which updates your existing leaderboard entries. See Supabase's Privacy Policy for how they handle hosting.
🎮 Game Center (iOS)
On iOS, the App integrates Apple Game Center for optional leaderboards and achievements. If you are signed in to Game Center on your device, the App submits your verified scores and achievement progress to Game Center through Apple's GameKit framework.
Game Center is Apple's own service, tied to your Apple ID — it is not an account system run by this App. Your Game Center player profile, nickname, and any data Apple collects through Game Center are handled entirely by Apple under its own terms; the App never receives or stores your Apple ID, real name, or email address. You can decline the Game Center sign-in prompt or turn Game Center off in iOS Settings at any time — the game is fully playable without it. See Apple's Game Center & Privacy page and Apple's Privacy Policy for how Apple handles this data.
📺 Advertising
The App shows ads served by Google AdMob to keep the game free: a rewarded video you can choose to watch to revive after a loss or double your coins, and an occasional interstitial ad after a game-over screen (never during gameplay, and never in your first 48 hours of play).
Google AdMob may collect device identifiers (such as your advertising ID) and usage data to serve and measure ads. On iOS, you will be asked for App Tracking Transparency permission before any identifier is used for personalized ads — you can decline and still see ads (just less tailored ones). See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles this data.
🛒 In-app purchases
The App offers an optional one-time purchase ("Remove Ads"). Payment is handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play — the App never sees your payment details. To validate the purchase and restore it if you reinstall, the App uses RevenueCat, which receives your store purchase receipt and a random, app-generated anonymous ID — never your name, email, or payment information. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy for details.
🔌 Other third-party services
Other than Google AdMob, RevenueCat, Supabase, and Apple Game Center (all described above), the App does not use any third-party analytics or login SDKs. If this changes in a future update, this policy will be updated in advance and reflected in the App Store's Privacy Nutrition Label.
🧒 Children
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. No account or personal information is required to play.
