In short
- We keep your pets and the things you choose to connect.
- We never sell anything about you.
- One button on this page deletes your account and every pet.
Who we are
Gramochi is made by the Gramochi team, a small team in Canada. We are the ones who keep what this page lists. Write to us at [email protected] or on the contact page.
What you connect and what it gives your pets
Connecting is up to you. Each thing you connect opens new genes once. It also lifts your level by one, from 0 to 8. The new genes show in babies born after that.
- Just playing
We keep a random account id and your pets. We also keep the kind of phone and browser you use. That way the same pets are there tomorrow. You need no name, no email and no phone number to play. - What you do
When you open the game, hatch, feed or play, your device sends us a note. It says what you did, which pet, your language, and Telegram or a browser. It also says which link brought you, for example an ad. It has a random visit id, but no name and no internet address. - Telegram
If you play inside Telegram, Telegram sends us your user id and your app's language. We keep them so your pets follow you there. Opens: new genes and one level. - If two of your accounts prove the same thing, they become one account with all your pets.
- A phone number
In Telegram you share it with one tap. We keep its country, its area code (only for +1 numbers) and a keyed fingerprint. We never keep the number itself. Opens: the country genes (only a phone gives them) and one level. - On the web you will prove the phone is yours with a code by text message (SMS). soon
- A pet whose owner connected a phone will tell jokes about its country. They are jokes, not facts about anyone. soon
- An email address soon
We keep the address, because we write to it: the code that proves it is yours, and reminders only if you say yes. It goes when you delete your account. Opens: new genes and one level. - A TON or Ethereum wallet
If you connect a TON or Ethereum wallet in the nest, we keep its public address. Anyone can already see it on its chain. To check it, we ask that chain's public servers about the address. Opens: new genes and one level. - Your contacts
Only if you share them, to show which friends already play. We keep only the friends who play. Everyone else is dropped at once. Opens: new genes and one level. - Sleep and steps
Only in our Android app, and only when you tap: sleep, steps and resting heart rate, one line a day. Your pet gets sleepy when you do. The days never leave our server. Opens: new genes and one level. - A minted pet soon
If you mint a pet, its name and look are public on the chain, for anyone and for good. Deleting your account cannot erase them.
What we never keep
- Your name. We never ask for it. When you invite a friend in Telegram, Telegram shows them your first name. We do not keep it. The name you give a pet shows on its card and on the link preview when you share it. Do not use your own name.
- Your internet address. In three places we keep a salted fingerprint of it instead, not the address itself. One is when you ask for a code, to stop floods of codes. One is when you send a request from the parents' page, for the same reason. The last is when you open one of our short links or QR codes, to count people, not taps.
- Your phone number itself.
What we send you, and when
- If you started our Telegram bot, it may write to you. It says when your pet learned a new move. It also says when your pet is hungry, about 20 hours after you last played. Send /stop and it stops.
- Say yes to reminders, and a hungry pet writes when you have been away 3, 7, 14 and 30 days. That is five reminders at most, counting the bot's first line. They come in Telegram for now. Send /stop or tap 🔕 to end them.
- Every reminder by email will carry a stop link that works in one tap. soon
- We only ever send codes you asked for and reminders about your pets. Never ads.
Who else sees it
- Nobody buys anything about you from us. The only others who touch it carry a message to you: Telegram, and Resend, which delivers our emails.
- Our analytics is our own copy of PostHog, on our own server. It counts visits and taps. It keeps your rough country, worked out from your internet address.
- Replays of a visit
We may record how a visit goes: taps, scrolls and which screen is open. Anything you type, all words on the screen and the game's drawings are hidden on your phone first. Where we ask first, it waits for your yes. Only we can watch a replay, and it is deleted after 30 days. - Inside the team we look at a map of how many pets live in each country. It shows counts only, never a person. It sits behind our login. When your pet meets another player's pet, we keep the name of your device's time zone for that map.
- We show ads for Gramochi in other apps. That app tells us how many people saw or tapped the ad, by age group and country. No ad app's code runs on our pages, so it never learns who plays.
Ads in the game: your choice
No ad network is on for players today, so nothing about ads is sent anywhere. When one is on, an ad shows only when you tap to watch one for a reward.
- Adsgram and TADS show ads inside Telegram. They may read your Telegram user ID, to count the ad and send your reward.
- Monetag shows ads on the web. It may read small files your browser keeps and your device's ad ID, to pick ads for you.
- Google shows ads on the web too. It brings its own screen to ask you first.
Before the first ad of any other network, we ask you once. No ads is as big a button as yes, and the game is free whatever you choose.
Plain ads are not picked for you, but may still save small files in your browser to count and limit ads. No network we use offers plain ads yet, so that answer shows no ad.
Change your answer with the button below: the next ad asks again. Clearing this site's data in your browser does the same.
You have not answered about ads on this device.
Done. The next ad asks you again.
Counting visits: your choice
Across Europe and in Russia, we keep no visit id on your device until you say yes. In the UK we count visits, and you can say no. Everywhere else, a no is kept too. Your device's time zone tells us which place it is. For this choice the time zone stays on your device.
How long we keep it
- Your account, your pets and what you connected: until you delete your account.
- The notes of what you do: 13 months. After that only the counts stay, without the visit ids.
- The messages we send you: 90 days after they are sent.
- A device you signed out of: 30 days.
- The history of your logins and links: 24 months.
- A report you send us from a page: 13 months.
We keep backup copies of the game's records. Your account is gone from all of them within 60 backup copies.
Your age
The game will ask your birth month and year, once, when it first matters. We keep only your age in whole years, until you delete your account. soon
Young means under 13 in the US and the UK, and under 14 in Canada and Russia. In Europe it is 13 to 16, by country. Everywhere else it is under 16. soon
A young player still plays everything else. They get no reminders and connect no phone, email, contacts or sleep. They are not on our map and are never counted with an id. soon
Chance
When two pets have a baby, its looks are drawn by chance. A first egg always hatches the same way.
Nothing in the game is sold for money today.
Before a baby, the nest's Chances button will show how likely each look is. soon
See it, stop it, delete it
The passport in the nest shows everything you have connected.
The button below deletes your account and every pet on it from our server.
- It also deletes your Telegram id, phone fingerprint, email address, reminders and the notes of what you did that name your account.
- You cannot remove one connection alone yet. Deleting the account removes them all.
- It works on the device you play on.
- Our analytics keeps only the random id, which then points to no one.
- A record that a deletion happened stays, with nothing that names you. So do the sums of anything paid.
- A pet with a passport keeps its name and its look. It stays in the world, no longer linked to you.
Clearing this site's data in your browser forgets your pets only on this device. Without the device, ask on the request page and we delete within 30 days: the request page
We answer and delete within 30 days.
Parents
A parent can ask us to delete a child's account without the child's phone. The request keeps your email, your note and the pet's code, until we close it: the parent's page
Or press the delete button on the child's device. We delete within 30 days and stop every message.
Changes and contact
