Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
What we collect
Very little. Here's the full list:
- The name and emoji you enter when creating or joining a match.
- Your guesses (lat/lng coordinates) for each round — stored only for match duration.
- A cookie recording your match count (for the PWA install prompt) and head-to-head records against specific opponents. No account is created.
What we don't collect
- No email address. No password. No phone number.
- No payment data (ads are the only revenue mechanism, and we use Google AdSense which has its own policy).
- No persistent device identifier beyond the voluntary cookie.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics — privacy-first, no tracking cookies, no personal data shared with third parties, no cross-site tracking. No cookie banner needed.
Advertising
We display a single ad unit on the match result screen only — never during gameplay. Ads are served by Google AdSense. See Google's privacy policy for details on their data practices.
Match data retention
Match state (players, guesses, scores) is stored in Cloudflare's edge network and automatically expires 1 hour after the match link is created. We do not permanently store individual guess data.
Your rights
Because we don't create accounts, there's no personal data to access, export, or delete beyond clearing your own browser cookies. If you submitted a photo, email hello@stakeout.world to request removal.
