Privacy Policy - Clutch

Clutch is a free-to-play mobile prediction game for iOS and Android. In Clutch, users place predictions on binary markets using an in-app soft currency called Credits and may earn a separate reward currency called Points based on winning outcomes.

Clutch does not involve real-money wagering. Users do not stake fiat currency on market outcomes, Credits have no cash value and cannot be cashed out, and Points may only be redeemed in-app for third-party digital gift cards delivered by email. This Privacy Policy explains how Rodger Studio collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you use Clutch.

Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information to operate Clutch, maintain the in-app economy, support rewards, and improve the product:

Account and Identity Information

• Email address from your login provider, which may also be used as the delivery email for gift-card redemptions.
• Display name, handle, optional bio, and avatar that you create for your profile.
• Authentication provider information for email/password, Sign in with Apple, and Sign in with Google.

Gameplay and Economy Data

• Credits and Points balances.
• Bets you place, market selections, odds at time of bet, market outcomes, and payouts.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information and gameplay data only as needed to provide, secure, analyze, and improve Clutch.

• Create and manage your account and authenticate you when you sign in.
• Operate markets, accept bets, calculate payouts, maintain balances, and enforce our server-authoritative economy.
• Grant signup bonuses, daily rewards, rewarded-ad Credits, refunds, and other promotional or corrective adjustments.

• Personalize app features such as friends, profiles, and leaderboards.
• Send push notifications and service messages.
• Detect abuse, prevent fraud, investigate disputes, rate limit risky activity, and maintain audit trails.
• Analyze usage, attribution, session replay, and performance to improve the app.
• Provide support, troubleshoot errors, and monitor infrastructure health.

Virtual Currency, Purchases, and Rewards

Clutch may offer both Credit packs and recurring subscriptions through the Apple App Store or Google Play, with purchase orchestration and entitlement management supported by RevenueCat. Apple and Google process payment transactions directly, and we do not receive your payment card information.

Credits are virtual in-app items only. They are non-transferable, have no cash value, are not redeemable for cash, and cannot be withdrawn to a bank account, crypto wallet, or any other external destination. Points are earned through gameplay outcomes and may be redeemed only for eligible digital gift cards or e-rewards made available in the app. Points are not cash, cannot be resold, and cannot be transferred between users.

When We Share Information

We share information with service providers and platforms that help us operate Clutch. We also may disclose information when required to comply with law, protect our rights, prevent fraud, or complete a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition.

Third-Party Services

Clutch relies on the following third-party services and platforms:

Firebase Authentication and Firebase Analytics

Firebase helps us authenticate users and measure app analytics. Firebase may process identifiers, email address, device information, events, and install-related data.

Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In

If you choose these login methods, Apple or Google provides authentication tokens and basic account information needed to sign you in.

PostHog

PostHog provides product analytics, error tracking support, and session replay. PostHog may receive event data, screen interactions, user identifiers, device metadata, and replay information from in-app sessions.

Adjust

Adjust provides marketing attribution and install tracking. When tracking permission is granted where required, Adjust may collect advertising identifiers, attribution data, device information, IP address, and app event data.

Meta / Facebook SDK

The Meta SDK helps measure advertising campaign performance and attribution. When tracking permission is granted where required, Meta may receive advertising identifiers, app events, device information, and similar attribution data.

Google Mobile Ads / AdMob

AdMob is used for rewarded video ads that may grant Credits. AdMob may process advertising identifiers, device information, and ad interaction data related to ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention.

RevenueCat and App Store / Play Billing

RevenueCat helps manage in-app purchases, subscriptions, receipts, and entitlements. Apple and Google process purchases directly. We do not receive or store your payment card number. We may receive purchase status, transaction identifiers, and subscription state.

Tremendous

Tremendous fulfills digital gift-card redemptions. To send your reward, we may share recipient email, reward selection details, denomination, currency, and related redemption identifiers.

Expo Push Notifications and Expo Updates

Expo services help us deliver push notifications and over-the-air updates. These services may process push tokens, app version, runtime version, and device information.

Hosting, Database, and Internal Operations Tools

Our hosted infrastructure, including backend hosting and our Postgres database, stores and processes the data described in this policy. Internal operations tools such as Slack may receive limited operational alerts or aggregated logs when needed to maintain the service.

OpenAI

OpenAI is used only for server-side, admin-driven editorial tooling related to market generation. We do not send user personal information, balances, or redemption data to OpenAI for this purpose.

We do not sell or rent your personal information for direct monetary compensation. However, our use of advertising, attribution, and measurement tools such as Meta, Adjust, and AdMob may involve sharing identifiers, app events, and related data with third parties for attribution, ad measurement, rewarded-ad delivery, and fraud prevention. Depending on your jurisdiction, including California, some of this activity may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You can limit this data sharing by declining tracking permission where presented and adjusting your device settings.

Data Security

• Data is transmitted using encryption in transit.
• Server-side systems use access controls, logging, validation, and rate limiting to help protect the in-app economy and user data.
• Transaction, payout, and redemption actions are processed server-side with audit logging and fraud safeguards.
• No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data.

• Access, update, or correct your account and profile information.
• Request deletion of your account and associated personal data.
• Change notification preferences and public-profile details.
• Opt out of tracking-based attribution where available by declining App Tracking Transparency on iOS or adjusting device advertising settings.
• Request a copy of certain personal data we hold about you, subject to applicable law and technical limitations.

European Union / United Kingdom: You may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to request data portability where applicable.

California: You may have rights to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt out of certain sale or sharing activities as defined by California law.

To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@rodgerstudio.com. If Clutch offers an in-app deletion workflow, you may also use that process to request deletion.

Data Retention

• Account and profile data are retained while your account is active.
• Gameplay, transaction, payout, purchase, and redemption records may be retained longer where necessary for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, accounting, or enforcing our terms.
• Analytics and diagnostic data may be retained for product improvement, security monitoring, and operational purposes.
• When you delete your account, we will delete or de-identify personal data unless we need to retain specific records for legitimate business or legal reasons.

International Transfers

Clutch may store and process data in countries other than the country where you live. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from your home jurisdiction. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

18+ Service

Clutch is intended only for adults age 18 and older. We do not knowingly allow children to use the service or knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in Clutch, our data practices, legal requirements, or our service providers. When required, we will post the updated policy and update the "Last updated" date above.
