LAB-7: Rogue AI Hunt – Privacy Policy

Last updated October 24, 2026

LAB-7: Rogue AI Hunt ("the app") is a companion app for an in-person Halloween party game, published by Pixelcade. This policy explains what the app does with your information. The short version: no accounts, no ads, no tracking, and nothing leaves your phone unless you join a party's event.

Without joining an event

Camera: used for the "humanity test" photo, which becomes a joke ID card, and to scan an event's QR code. ID cards are saved on your phone only (Files app › On My iPhone › LAB-7) and are not uploaded.
Bluetooth: used only for the game: to sense the party costume's signal, to send it the game's "CONTAIN" signal, and to exchange a game signal with other phones running the app nearby (for example, the in-game "glitch"). It does not connect to, identify or read data from other devices, and it is not used to determine your location.
Settings and scores (your agent name, numbers of CONTAIN presses, tests and squad wins) stay on your phone.

When you join a party's event

A party host can invite you to their event with a link or QR code. The app explains what joining does and asks you to agree to the house rules before anything is sent. While you are joined, the app sends the following to the host's event server:

ID-card photos from your humanity tests, shown on the event's photo wall to the guests and to anyone the host shares the wall with. Only photograph people who are happy to be on it.
Leaderboard: the agent name you choose (or your generated codename) and your game scores, for the event's TOP AGENTS board.
A random device ID, created when the app is installed. It is not linked to you, your Apple ID or your phone's hardware. It is used to prevent spam, to give you a unique agent code at the event, to keep your leaderboard entry, and to let you delete your own photos.
Game state: whether your scanner currently has the in-game "glitch", and your one accusation in the traitor round, if the host runs one.

The event's photos and scores are stored on the host's server (Google Cloud) and are deleted when the host clears the event after the party. You can leave an event at any time on the AGENT tab; nothing more is sent after that.

Your photos on the wall

You can delete any photo your phone uploaded, from the photo's full-screen view.
Anyone can report a photo: it is hidden for everyone right away and reviewed by the host.
You can hide every photo taken by a particular phone; that only affects your own app.

Notifications

If you allow it, the app schedules reminders on your phone for the event's "midnight" moment. They are local notifications: no push server is involved.

What the app never does

No accounts, no email, no contacts, no location, no microphone, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking across apps or websites. Your information is not sold or shared with third parties.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their information.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date above changes with it. Questions, or want a photo removed from an evidence wall we host? Contact support@pixelcade.org.
