๐ธ Privacy Policy
The short version: we run a board game site, not a data empire. Updated July 2026.
๐ช Cookies (the digital kind, sadly)
We store a few cookies in your browser so the universe remembers you: your player name, player number, avatar, color, flag, sound settings, and the credentials that let you re-take your seat at a game. They live on your device and they're about the game. Google Analytics (below) also sets its own _ga cookies to tell returning visitors apart.
๐ If you sign in with Google
Login is handled by Google via Firebase Authentication. We receive and store your email address and display name, and we attach your game stats (plays, wins, draws, days visited) and profile fields you choose to fill in (nickname, birthday, gender, bio, website) to that account. We never see your Google password โ that's between you and Google.
Anything you put in your public profile (nickname, bio, website, flag, avatar) is visible to other players on your Citizen ID card. Your email and birthday are never shown to anyone.
๐ฒ Game data
Matches you play are stored in our database so games survive server restarts and your stats add up. Chat messages are held briefly in server memory so late arrivals see recent history โ they are not permanently stored, and they vanish when the server restarts.
๐ Analytics (the boring kind)
We use Google Analytics to see anonymous usage โ how many players visit and which games get played โ so we know what to build next. The landing page carries no analytics at all: measurement starts only after you choose to play, which is also when you agree to this policy. Ad personalization is turned off: no ads, no ad profiles, no selling anything to anyone. If you block analytics with a browser extension, everything here still works fine.
๐ซ What we don't do
- No selling or sharing your data with anyone. Ever.
- No ads and no ad tracking โ analytics is for game-popularity stats only.
- No spam โ we don't even send email.
- Browser notifications only if you turn them on, and only "it's your turn!"
