Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
What we collect
- The name you type when you create or join a room. Other players in that room can see it on the leaderboard.
- Your game progress in a room: which clues you solved, your hints, your score and your sealed accusation.
- Technical data needed to run the service, such as your IP address, which our hosting provider may keep in short-lived logs and which we use to limit how many rooms one address can create.
- If you buy an unlock code: the email address you give us (to send you the code), the code, the plan, and the payment reference and amount. Card, UPI and bank details go straight to the payment company (Razorpay) and never reach us.
To play, we do not ask for your email, phone number, contacts, location or photos. There are no accounts.
Voice and video chat
Voice and video chat in a room are off until you tap the microphone button, and your browser asks for permission first. Sound and pictures go directly between the players' phones; they do not pass through or get stored on our servers, and nothing is recorded. Our server only passes short connection messages and the names of who is in the call, which it forgets within a few hours. On some mobile networks the connection may be relayed through Cloudflare, still encrypted and not recorded.
What stays on your phone
Your notes, your settings, the rooms you have played, and your Solo Cases progress are saved only on your own device. We never receive them.
How long we keep it
Room data is deleted automatically about one day after a room was last used. Player records are deleted after about three days. Purchase records (code, plan, email, payment reference) are kept for as long as the law requires for accounts, usually up to 8 years in India.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. It is stored with our hosting and database providers (Vercel and Upstash) only so the game can work. Payments are handled by Razorpay or Stripe, and code emails are sent through our email provider. Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
Children
The game contains crime and murder themes and is meant for players aged 13 and over.
