Privacy Policy

In plain words: what data the Dareo app collects, why, how long we keep it, how we protect younger players and how to exercise your rights.

Last updated: September 28, 2026

In short: we collect the minimum needed to run the game and keep it safe. We never sell your data, there is no advertising in the app, no ad tracker and no geolocation. A minor is never put in contact with an adult.

1. Data controller

The controller of the data collected through the Dareo app and the getdareo.com website is:

Transfers outside the European Union

Some of these providers are based in the United States. These transfers are covered by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework when the provider is certified, or otherwise by the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission.

6. How long we keep it

How to delete your account is explained on the Delete my account page.

7. Minors

Dareo is open from age 13. Many players may therefore be minors, and the service is designed accordingly:

For data processed on the basis of consent (optional fields, notifications), a minor under 15 living in France can't consent alone: the joint consent of a holder of parental authority is required (Article 45 of the French Data Protection Act). These fields are never required to play.

A minor can exercise their rights themselves. A parent or guardian can also write to contact@getdareo.com to request access to or deletion of their child's data. If you believe a child under 13 is using Dareo, let us know: we will delete the account.

8. Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the French Data Protection Act, you have the following rights:

To exercise these rights, write to contact@getdareo.com with your username (and, if you have an account, from the email address of your Apple or Google account). We answer within one month at most. We may ask you to prove your identity if there is reasonable doubt.

Complaint to the CNIL

If, after contacting us, you believe your rights are not respected, you can file a complaint with the French data protection authority (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, CNIL), 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, France, or online at www.cnil.fr. You can also contact the data protection authority of the EU country where you live.

9. Security

Exchanges between the app and our servers are encrypted (HTTPS). Photos are only accessible to the two players of the match, the IP address of dare links is only kept in hashed form, access to data is limited to the people who need it, and our providers are chosen for their security guarantees. As no system is infallible, we will inform you and the CNIL of any data breach likely to put you at risk, under the conditions set by the GDPR.

10. Changes

We may update this policy, in particular when we add a feature or a provider. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page. If there is a significant change, we will let you know in the app.

11. Contact
