Privacy policy
Your detective work is your business. Here is ours, in plain English.

The short version
Much Fibbing: Village Mysteries collects nothing about you. There are no accounts, adverts, analytics or tracking, and the game makes no internet requests at all. Your questions and progress stay on your device.
Who we are
Much Fibbing is made by Andrew Tech, an independent studio in the United Kingdom. When this policy says “we”, that's who it means. You can reach us at hello@andrewtech.co.uk.
What you type
Your questions to the suspects are answered on your device:
- on iPhone and iPad, by Apple's on-device model (Apple Intelligence), where your device supports it;
- on Android, by Google's on-device model (Gemini Nano, through Android's AICore), where your phone supports it;
- otherwise, by lines written into the game.
What you type is never sent to us or to anyone else.
What stays on your device
Your progress (cases, clues, notebook and settings, including the name on your warrant card) is saved on your device so you can carry on later. It isn't sent anywhere. Deleting the app deletes it.
Voices, sound and motion
Reading replies aloud uses your device's built-in voices, on your device. The village scenery tilts a little as you move your phone; the game reads the motion sensor only for that and keeps nothing. The game does not use your microphone, camera, location, contacts or photos.
Sharing
If you tap Share, the game makes a picture or a line of text about how you did and opens your device's share sheet. Nothing is sent unless you choose where to send it, and the share card never gives away a case's solution.
Children
The game doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.
If you email us
If you write to us, we'll use your email address and message only to reply. We won't add you to a mailing list or pass them on, and we delete support emails once they're dealt with, or sooner if you ask.
This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics, advertising pixels or third-party trackers. Fonts and images are served with the site. Our host, Vercel, processes standard request data (such as IP addresses) to deliver the pages and keep them secure.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask what personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. For the game there's nothing to ask for, because we hold nothing. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If this ever changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top before a new version of the game does anything differently.
