Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to AnyGuesser. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our free multiplayer gaming platform. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

By using AnyGuesser, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our service.

Information We Currently Collect

At present, AnyGuesser operates with minimal data collection:

• Display Names: When you join a game room, you provide a display name that is used only during your active session. This information is not stored permanently and is deleted when you leave the room.
• Game Session Data: Temporary game state information (such as your selected answers, guesses, and scores) is maintained only while you are actively playing in a room. This data is not persisted after you leave the session.
• Technical Information: Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and usage patterns through standard web server logs and analytics tools.

How We Use Your Information

Currently, we use collected information to:

• Enable real-time multiplayer gameplay functionality
• Maintain game state during active sessions
• Improve our service and user experience
• Ensure platform security and prevent abuse

We reserve the right to implement the following features in the future, which may involve additional data collection:
