Privacy policy
Last Text ("the app") is a story game. This page says what the app and its server (lasttext.maxenergic.com) collect, why, and how to remove it. Last updated: 12 October 2026.
Without an account
- A random install ID, created on your phone the first time you play. It is not linked to your name, phone number or advertising ID.
- Play events: which story you started or finished, which ending, and how long you actively played. We use them for the "only N% of players saw this" numbers, most-played lists and to spot cheating.
- A push token, only if notifications are on, to tell you about new stories.
- Crash reports: if the app crashes, it sends the error, the app version and the random install ID to our server so we can fix it. Nothing else about you is included.
With an account
- Email and password (stored hashed) or your Google account ID, to sign you in.
- Name and avatar you choose. Your name, avatar, points and badges are public in the app. Your email is never shown to other players.
- Points and endings found.
- Stories you write. Stories you publish show your name as the author.
- Challenges you join. Your name, the ending you reached and your play time are shown only to the players in that challenge; anyone with the link sees the winner's name.
- Reviews and reports. Reviews you write are public with your name and avatar. When you report a review or a community story, who reported it and why is seen only by moderators.
Server logs
Like most websites, our server records your IP address with each request the app makes, for security and to fix problems. The app's server keeps these logs for 5 days; the web server in front of it keeps its access logs for about 5 weeks.
What we don't do
We don't sell your data, and we don't share it except with the services that run the app: our own server, Google Firebase (push notifications), Google AdMob (ads) and, if you use it, Google sign-in.
Ads
The app shows ads from Google AdMob, never in the middle of a chat: after you finish a story and tap "Try again" (at most once every three minutes), as one "Sponsored" card in the Messages list once you have finished a story, and as a video you can choose to watch to skip a story's wait. AdMob may use your device's advertising ID. In the EEA and UK the app asks for your consent first; you can change it any time in the app under Profile → Ad privacy choices. Your phone's own ads settings let you reset or delete the advertising ID.
Keeping and deleting
Account data is kept until you delete your account. Anonymous play events are kept to compute statistics. Backups are kept for 7 days.
Delete your account in the app (Profile → Delete my account), or see how to delete your account. This removes your profile, points, endings, plays, reviews, reports, unpublished stories and devices. Stories you published stay available with the author shown as a deleted user.
