Last updated: February 2025

1. Introduction

IntroGuesser ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our Service. We comply with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data:

  • Account data: When you sign in via OIDC (e.g., Google, GitHub), we receive your user ID, display name, email (if provided by the identity provider), and profile picture URL.
  • Game data: Scores, game history, achievements, and statistics linked to your account.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and log data for operation and security.
  • User-generated content: Display names, chat messages in lobbies, and similar content you create.

Anonymous users can play without an account; we may store minimal session data for gameplay.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Service
  • Authenticate you and manage your account
  • Display leaderboards, profiles, and achievements
  • Enable multiplayer features (e.g., lobbies, chat)
  • Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security issues
  • Comply with legal obligations

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third parties:

  • Identity providers: OIDC providers (e.g., ModLabs Auth, Google, GitHub) for sign-in. Their privacy policies apply to data they collect.
  • Hosting: Cloudflare (frontend and API). Data may be processed in various regions.
  • Backend infrastructure: Our backend and database host game data and user accounts.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics that track you across other sites.

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. These are necessary for the Service to function and do not require consent. We do not use non-essential tracking cookies. If we introduce analytics or optional cookies in the future, we will update this policy and obtain consent where required.

6. Data Retention

We retain account and game data for as long as your account exists. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where we must retain it for legal compliance.

Your data may be processed in countries outside your residence, including the European Economic Area. We ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) where required by law.

9. Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
