Privacy Policy
We collect as little as possible. The free tools keep everything in your browser. The virtual game stores the names, gifts and shipping addresses you enter only to run your event. We use cookie-free analytics, show no ads, and never sell data.
What we collect
Free tools (number generator, wheel, dice, steal tracker, rules generator, story tool, invitation maker): nothing is sent to us. Some tools save your inputs in your browser’s local storage so you can come back to them. Shared links carry their data inside the link itself.
Virtual game: to run your event we store:
- Room details: event name, rules, plan and the game’s progress.
- Player names, and optional email addresses.
- Gifts: title, optional link, image link, note and hint. Gift details are hidden from other players until the gift is opened.
- Shipping addresses that winners choose to enter. Only that player and the host can see them, and only on plans with a shipping export.
- A random access token for each player and the host, stored in your browser. We store only a one-way hash.
Payments: handled by our payment provider (Dodo Payments). We receive a confirmation and amount, never your card details.
Email list: if you sign up for the printable rules or updates, we store your email address. Unsubscribe any time.
Analytics: Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn’t use cookies or track you across sites. Server logs may record IP addresses briefly for security and rate limiting.
How long we keep it
Game data, including shipping addresses, is deleted 60 days after your event. Payment records are kept as long as tax law requires. Email addresses stay until you unsubscribe.
