Our promise: we collect no data unless an app truly needs it to work. Most of our games and apps collect none at all. When one does, we tell you exactly what, why, and for how long, and we never sell it, use it for ads, or track you.
This policy covers everything we make and this website. At a glance:
Highway Trivia, Torchlight and Gathered collect no data.
Be the Critic stores a small amount of data, and only if you use its online clubs.
If something here ever changes, we'll update this page and post about it in our news first.
Highway Trivia
No accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no data collected.
Nothing you do in the app is sent to us or anyone else.
Torchlight
No accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no data collected.
Characters you build are saved in your own browser, on your own device. They are not sent to us.
Like any website, Torchlight is delivered by a web host, which may keep standard technical logs (see "This website" below).
Gathered
Gathered does not collect any data, now or ever.
Everything a leader enters (groups, study notes, and prayer requests) stays on their phone.
There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. Gathered does not connect to any server.
Prayer lists leave the phone only when the leader copies one and chooses to send it. Private requests stay private.
Be the Critic
If you use Be the Critic on your own (Solo mode) or with pass-the-phone groups, nothing you do in it reaches us. Your Ticket Stubs and groups stay on your phone, and in your own iCloud if you use it.
Online clubs let everyone rate on their own phone, so for clubs only, the app's server stores:
The display name you choose
The clubs you create or join, and the movies added to them
Your ratings, and who picked each movie
A random ID the app creates for you, so your ratings stay tied to you without an account
Club data is seen only by that club's members. Be the Critic never asks for your email, phone number, real name, contacts, location or photos. There's no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.
The app's server keeps short technical logs, including IP addresses, for up to 3 days to fix problems, then deletes them.
Clubs with no activity for 12 months are deleted automatically, and server backups are kept for 14 days.
You can delete everything anytime in the app under Settings › Delete my data.
This site uses no cookies, no analytics, and no tracking scripts.
Our web host may record visitors' IP addresses in standard server logs for security and to keep the site running. We don't use these logs to identify or track anyone.
The site's fonts load from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google's servers to fetch them.
If you email us
If you write to us at developer@americanmadegames.com, we'll see your email address and whatever you include. We use it only to reply to you, and we never add you to a mailing list or share it.
Children
Highway Trivia, Torchlight and Gathered collect no personal information from anyone, children included. Be the Critic isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
