Privacy Policy
Effective August 30, 2026 · Applies to the Porch Party tvOS app and this website
The short version
The Porch Party app collects nothing. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no ads, and no game data ever leaves your local network. We couldn't sell your game data if we wanted to, because we never have it. One honest exception: this website uses Google Analytics to count visits. Details below.
How the game works
- The game runs entirely on your Apple TV. There are no game servers and no internet play.
- Phones join by scanning a QR code and talk to the Apple TV directly over your local Wi-Fi network only.
- Names, avatars, questions, votes, and scores live in the Apple TV's memory during the game and are gone when the app closes. Nothing is saved, uploaded, or shared.
What about the phone browser page?
The controller page that opens on your phone uses your browser's localStorage for exactly one thing: remembering the name and avatar you picked, on your own device, so you don't have to retype them between rounds. That data never leaves your phone, and clearing your browser data removes it.
No accounts, no sign-ins
There is nothing to sign up for. The app never asks for an email address, phone number, or any other personal information.
The app: no analytics or third parties
The app contains no analytics, advertising, or tracking code of any kind, and shares nothing with third parties.
This website: Google Analytics
porchpartygame.com uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages people read. That means Google sets cookies in your browser and receives usage data such as the pages you viewed, a rough location, and how you found the site. We use it only to understand traffic. We don't run ads, and we never sell data. You can read Google's privacy policy, and blocking the cookies with an ad blocker leaves the site working exactly the same.
Google Analytics runs on this website only. It is not in the game.
Age rating
Porch Party is rated 18+ because one optional game mode (After Dark) contains mature written content. The Family and Party modes are the same game without it.
Changes to this policy
If the app or this website ever changes how it handles data, this page will be updated first, with a new effective date above.
