Privacy Policy

Player names, saved crews and groups, scores, settings and your chosen language are stored on your phone or in your browser's local storage. They aren't sent to us. Uninstall the app or clear the site's data in your browser to delete them.

Local WiFi games send names and game moves directly between the phones on your network. They don't pass through our servers. On iPhone this needs the Local Network permission.

When you create or join an online room, the game signs you in anonymously with Firebase Authentication (a random ID, no personal details) and stores the room code, the name you typed, your votes and the game state in Google Cloud Firestore so the other players can see them. The room and its data are deleted when the host closes it. The imposter's word is readable only by that player.

The apps use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, and the website uses Google Analytics. They tell us which screens and game modes are used, how long games last and when something crashes. They collect device and browser details, an app or browser identifier and an approximate location (country or city, from your IP address). We use this only to fix bugs and improve the game.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, website analytics stays off until you agree to it in the consent message.

The game is free because it shows ads: Google AdMob in the apps and Google AdSense on the website. We never show ads over your secret word or during the vote.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet. In the apps, Google uses your device's advertising ID in the same way.

You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of other vendors' cookies at aboutads.info. On iPhone, the app asks before using your advertising ID, and you can change that in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android, go to Settings → Google → Ads. Read how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, a Google consent message asks for your choice before personalised ads are shown. To change your choice later, use the “Privacy and cookie settings” link at the bottom of any page on the website, or Settings → Privacy choices in the app.

Pass & play on the website asks our server for words one pair at a time. To stop automated scraping it uses Cloudflare Turnstile and sets one cookie, valid for 6 hours, that only proves the check passed. Cloudflare, which hosts the site, processes your IP address to deliver pages and block attacks.

Only the services above: Google (Firebase, Analytics, AdMob, AdSense) and Cloudflare. Each handles data under its own policy: Google, Cloudflare. We don't sell or share data with anyone else.

The game is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we'll delete it.

You can ask us what data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by emailing aashishregmimail@gmail.com. Because play is anonymous, we may need your room code or the approximate time you played to find it. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or US state laws), you may also have the right to correct, restrict or object to processing, and to complain to your data protection authority.

If you email us for support, we keep the conversation only as long as we need it to help you.

If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the date at the top. Questions? Visit Support or email aashishregmimail@gmail.com.
