Privacy Policy

Last updated 24 August 2026

Your whole neighborhood lives on your device. StoopVibe has no accounts, no sign in, no analytics, and no server that holds your game. We never see what you collect, where you walk, or how you decorate. We never sell data and we never show ads.

What we collect

Nothing. There is no account to make and no form to fill in. We never ask for your name, your email, your phone number, or your age. The friendly phone inside the game uses a pretend number the game invents for itself, not anything of yours.

Where your game lives

Everything you earn stays in your own device's storage: the treasures you stoop off the sidewalk, the way your apartment is arranged, your critter and its outfit, your streak, your warmth, and every other bit of progress. It never leaves your device. Deleting the app, or clearing its site data, erases the neighborhood for good, and we have no copy to restore because we never had one.

Playing alone

This version of StoopVibe plays solo. There is no live chat, no messaging with strangers, and no server you connect to while you play. Neighbors on the block are part of the story, not other people.

The one connection that leaves your device

The game shows the real Chelsea weather. To do that it asks Open-Meteo, a free weather service, for the sky above one fixed spot in Chelsea, Manhattan. The request never includes your location. Your device never shares where you are because the game never asks for it and never reads it. Like any web request, the weather service can see the address your device connects from. Nothing about your game rides along.

The camera, the microphone, and your location

StoopVibe never uses any of them. The city sounds are made up by the game as you walk, on your device, with nothing recorded and nothing sent.

Sharing a postcard

When you export a postcard of your collection, the game draws the picture on your device and hands it to your device's own share sheet. Where it goes next is your choice. The picture never passes through us.

What we never do

We do not sell data. We do not show ads. We do not run analytics, trackers, or profiling. We do not use anything you make to train anything. There is nothing to breach on our side, because your game was never in our hands.

Children

StoopVibe is safe for any age, for the simplest possible reason: it collects nothing from anybody, and this version has no way to talk to strangers. There are no accounts, no free-typed messages, and nothing to buy.

What it costs

StoopVibe is free. There is nothing to buy inside it, so there is no payment information for us to handle and none for us to lose.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version appears here with a new date. If the game ever adds a way to play with real friends, this page will describe exactly how that works before it ships.
