Connect 2

Privacy policy

Last updated: 3 October 2026

  1. Who we are

Connect 2 is a conversation card-game app published by Bearapp Limited (“Bearapp Limited”, “we”, “us”).

This Privacy Policy explains what information Connect 2 collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

Questions: support@bearapplimited.com (subject: Connect 2 Support).

2. What this policy covers

This policy applies to the Connect 2 iOS and Android apps, related account services, in-app purchases, and support we provide for Connect 2.

It does not cover third-party sites, stores, or apps you open from Connect 2 (for example Apple, Google, or a share destination). Those services have their own policies.

3. Information we collect

Account

  • Email address, if you sign in with email and password.

  • Sign-in identifiers from Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In, such as a provider user id and, if you share it, an email or name.

  • Authentication tokens needed to keep you signed in. Tokens are stored in the device keychain or equivalent secure storage, not in ordinary app files.

Profile

  • Display name (up to 80 characters). Connect 2 does not collect a bio or profile photo.

  • Initials shown as an avatar are generated from your display name. They are not a photo.

Gameplay and contacts

  • Lobby and invite codes, room membership, and whether you are the host.

  • Contacts you add (name and how you connected, such as a QR invite).

  • Answers you submit after a round is locked, including write-your-own prompts (up to five per Premium table session).

  • Saved question-and-answer history for Premium accounts.

Chat

  • Text-only messages you send in a session chat. Connect 2 chat does not send photos, files, or location.

Device and preferences (on this device)

  • Theme, appearance, notification, and language preferences.

  • Local reminder schedule (default: one reminder every 3 days at 8:00 pm in your local time).

  • Cached game content used to load the app faster.

Camera and photos (only if you use those features)

  • Camera, to scan a guest QR code.

  • Photo library, to import a guest QR and to save your personal QR or moment cards if you choose Save. Connect 2 does not use the camera or photo library to set a profile picture.

Purchases

  • Whether your account has Premium, and which plan (monthly, annual, or lifetime), via Apple, Google, and RevenueCat.

  • We do not collect payment card numbers. Apple or Google process payment.

Diagnostics

  • In production builds, crash and error reports via Sentry (no default personal identifiers; we do not put tokens or message bodies in those reports).

We do not collect

  • Precise location, address book, contacts from your phone, advertising IDs, or tracking across other companies’ apps for ads.

  • Connect 2 does not use App Tracking Transparency because it does not track you for advertising.

4. How we use information

We use this information to:

  • create and secure your account;

  • run lobbies, invites, gameplay, chat, and contacts;

  • show your display name to people in the same session;

  • provide Premium features and restore purchases;

  • remember settings on this device;

  • send local reminder notifications you have not turned off;

  • diagnose crashes and keep the service reliable;

  • respond if you email support;

  • comply with law and App Store or Google Play rules.

5. Legal bases

Where a privacy law requires a legal basis, we rely on:

  • performing our contract with you (providing Connect 2);

  • legitimate interests, such as security, fraud prevention, and product reliability, balanced against your interests;

  • consent, where you grant a permission (camera, photos, notifications) or choose an optional feature;

  • legal obligation, when the law requires us to keep or disclose information.

6. When we share information

We do not sell your personal information.

We share information only as needed with:

  • Supabase, which hosts accounts, profiles, rooms, chat, and related data;

  • Apple and Google, for sign-in and in-app purchases;

  • RevenueCat, to check Premium entitlement;

  • Sentry, for production crash and error reports;

  • other players you invite or who join your lobby (they can see your display name, gameplay, and chat in that session);

  • a share destination you choose (for example Messages), for the content you share;

  • authorities if required by law.

Processors act on our instructions. They should not use Connect 2 data for their own advertising.

7. How long we keep information

  • Account, profile display name, contacts, and Premium-saved sessions: until you delete your account, or we close the service.

  • Session chat and live lobby data: for the life of the room and a short period afterward needed to operate the product.

  • Device preferences, tokens, and cache: until you sign out, delete the app, or clear cache, depending on the item.

  • Diagnostics: for a limited period needed to fix crashes.

  • Purchase records Apple or Google keep are governed by those stores.

8. Security

We use HTTPS, row-level access controls on the server, and secure storage for session tokens on the device. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please keep your sign-in details private and use a unique password for email sign-in.

9. Children

Connect 2 is intended for people aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 created an account, email support@bearapplimited.com and we will delete it.

10. International processing

Bearapp Limited may process information in Hong Kong SAR and in other countries where our providers operate (including the United States). Those places may have different data-protection laws from your home country.

11. Your choices

In Connect 2 you can:

  • edit your display name in Dashboard → Edit Profile;

  • change appearance and notification settings;

  • turn off session reminders;

  • restore or manage Premium through Apple or Google;

  • sign out;

  • delete your account in Dashboard → Delete Account (this removes the Connect 2 account and associated server data we control).

You can also revoke camera, photos, or notification permission in system settings, and delete the app to remove data stored only on that device.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information, or to object to certain processing. Email support@bearapplimited.com. We may need to verify the request belongs to you.

Do not send passwords or payment card numbers to support.

12. Apple and Google

If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may hide your email. We receive a relay address instead of your personal email.

In-app purchases, billing, cancellation, and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms. We receive an entitlement signal, not your card number.

13. Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page is the current version. Material changes will be shown in the app or on this page.
