Delete Your Data — Take a Joke by AppRevolt

Most players have nothing to delete

Playing Take a Joke never needs an account. If you only ever joined games from your phone, or you've never signed in on a TV, there's no account to delete. Game data is removed on its own on the schedule below, and you can still ask us to delete it sooner.

You have an account only if you bought Take a Joke on our website, signed in to restore a purchase, or added your email to an App Store purchase.

Delete your account in the app

This works on every version of the game — Android TV, Apple TV, the web, Mac and Windows:

Open Take a Joke on the TV or computer where you're signed in.
From the home screen, open Settings.
In the License section, choose Delete account.
Confirm. Your account is deleted straight away, and the app signs you out.

What this deletes:

Your account and the email address on it.
A purchase made on our website. That purchase is tied to your email, so it goes with the account, and it can't be restored from the app afterwards.
The list of devices signed in to your purchase.
Your remaining Take a Joke Awards ceremonies.
Any launch-notification signup under that email.

What it keeps:

A purchase made through Google Play or the App Store. It belongs to the TV it was bought on, not to your email, so that TV keeps the full game. We keep the purchase record (with your email removed), and Google or Apple keep their own.
Messages you sent us with Send Feedback or Request Support, with your email address removed.

Ask us to delete your data

Can't open the app, never signed in, or want everything else removed too? Email contact@apprevolt.io with the subject "Delete my data". Tell us whichever of these you have, so we can find it:

The email address on your account. We only delete an account when the request comes from that address.
Your TV's Support ID, shown in the app's Settings. It lets us find the games that TV hosted.
A room code, roughly when you played, and your nickname, if you only played from a phone.

We'll delete what we find, including copies in our private archives, within 30 days, and reply to tell you it's done.

What we keep, and for how long

Unless you ask us to delete it sooner, this is how long Take a Joke data lasts:

Game rooms

The room code, players' nicknames, answers and scores, and the age range and gender each player picked when they joined. Deleted automatically 14 days after the room's last activity.

Round history

Each round's prompt and winning answer as they appeared on screen — which can include players' nicknames — and the answers players typed in Write Your Own. Kept for 1 year to improve the game, then moved to a private archive.

Play activity

Which buttons were pressed and how long game updates took, tied to random IDs. Kept for 90 days, then moved to a private archive.

Narrator log

Which narrator lines played, including a nickname the narrator said. Deleted after 30 days.

Error reports

Technical details of a problem in the app. Deleted after 30 days.

Cards a TV has used

Which prompts and answers a TV has dealt, so your group doesn't see repeats. Deleted 30 days to 6 months after the TV was last used.

Game summaries and card ratings

Each game's mode, player count and final scores, and the ratings players give cards after a game, tied to random IDs. Kept to improve the game.

Feedback and support messages

Your message, the nickname you played under, and your email if you gave one. Kept so we can answer you and follow up. Your email is removed if you delete your account.

Accounts and purchases

Kept until you delete your account (see above). Google Play and App Store purchase records stay with the TV they were bought on.

We never sell any of this or use it for advertising. The full picture is in our Privacy Policy.
