Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Ripple Video LLC ("Ripple Video," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Betcha Game mobile application for iOS (the "App"), the getbetcha.com website, and related services (together, the "Services").
The short version: we collect only what the game needs, we use AI to run the game, we don't show ads, we don't sell your data, and we don't let anyone track you. When you delete your account, we anonymize it.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly when you use the App:
- Account information: your email address, display name, and avatar emoji. If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple provides us an identifier and (at your choice) your email or a private relay address. If you sign in by email, we send one-time codes to the address you provide. We never see or store a password.
- Game content: the groups you belong to, the bets you create and join, messages you send in bet threads, and photos you submit as evidence for bets.
- Push notification tokens: device tokens that let us send you notifications about your bets and groups.
- Support communications: anything you send us at support@getbetcha.com.
We also collect limited technical information automatically — such as device type, app version, and server logs (including IP addresses) — to operate the Services, debug problems, and prevent abuse. We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not track your activity across other apps or websites.
2. Photos and Evidence
Betcha lets group members submit photos as evidence that a bet was won or lost. By participating in a group, you consent to other members of that group submitting photos as bet evidence, which may include photos of you. Before storage, we strip EXIF metadata, including location data, from every photo submitted through the App. Evidence photos are visible only to the members of the group where they were submitted.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Create and maintain your account and group memberships;
- Operate the game — creating bets, tracking Coin balances, resolving outcomes, and maintaining group ledgers;
- Send push notifications you have enabled;
- Moderate content and enforce our Terms of Use and content standards;
- Respond to your support requests;
- Debug, secure, and improve the Services; and
- Comply with legal obligations.
4. How AI Processes Your Content
AI is central to how Betcha works. User content — including bet text, group messages, and evidence photos — is processed by Anthropic's Claude API to:
- Draft bet contracts from your bet descriptions;
- Moderate content against our content standards;
- Judge photo evidence submitted for bets;
- Resolve bets about real-world events, including via web search; and
- Redact messages where App features require it.
No user content is used to train AI models. Data sent to the Anthropic API is not used by Anthropic for model training, and we do not train models on your content ourselves.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone for advertising. We share information only with the service providers we need to run the Services:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): hosting and data storage, in the us-east-1 (Northern Virginia) region;
- Anthropic: AI processing of user content, as described in Section 4;
- Apple: Sign in with Apple and push notification delivery;
- Expo: push notification delivery;
- PostHog: first-party product analytics and error diagnostics for the App and this website, so we can fix crashes and understand which features work. Configured without cross-site tracking; on this website it runs cookielessly.
These providers process data on our behalf to provide their services and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. Beyond these processors, we may disclose information if required by law (for example, in response to a valid legal request), to enforce our Terms of Use, to protect the safety of our users, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — in which case this Privacy Policy will continue to apply to your information until you are notified otherwise.
6. No Ads, No Sale of Data, No Third-Party Tracking
To state it plainly: the Services contain no advertising, we do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone, and nothing we embed follows you across other apps or sites. Our product analytics (PostHog) measure only your use of Betcha itself, as our processor. Because we do not track you across sites, there is no Do-Not-Track behavior to configure.
7. Who Can See Your Content
Betcha is built around private groups. Your bets, messages, and evidence photos are visible to the members of the group where you shared them — not to the public. Keep in mind that group members can see what you share and, like any recipient of a message, could copy it. Choose your groups accordingly.
8. Your Choices and Account Deletion
- Edit your info: you can change your display name and avatar emoji in the App at any time.
- Push notifications: you can disable notifications in iOS Settings at any time.
- Blocking and reporting: the App includes flag-and-block tools; reports are reviewed within 24 hours.
- Delete your account: you can delete your account directly in the App. Deletion anonymizes your account — your email, display name, and avatar are removed and your push notification tokens are deleted. Because bets are shared records among group members, content from bets and message threads you participated in may persist in anonymized form so your groups' ledgers and bet histories remain accurate. Anonymized content is no longer associated with you.
You can also email support@getbetcha.com with any privacy request, including access or deletion requests, and we will respond as required by applicable law.
9. Securing Your Information
We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls on our systems. That said, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please protect access to your email account, since it can be used to sign in to Betcha.
10. Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active and as long as needed to operate the Services. Coin balances reset weekly by design. When you delete your account, we anonymize it as described in Section 8; residual copies may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days before being purged. We may retain limited records longer where required for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our Terms of Use.
11. Children's Privacy
The Services are for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to use Betcha, and the Services are not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if we learn that we have, we will delete it. If you believe someone under 18 is using the Services, please contact us at support@getbetcha.com.
12. International Users
The Services are offered to users in the United States, and your information is processed and stored in the United States (AWS us-east-1). If you access the Services from elsewhere, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
13. Shine the Light Disclosure
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information about disclosure of personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you — for example, by email, push notification, or a notice in the App — before the changes take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
