Privacy Policy

At Person Picker, accessible from personpicker.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Person Picker and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Display Name & Emoji: When you join a game, you create a display name and select an emoji. This information is stored locally on your device (via LocalStorage) for your convenience and sent to our servers to identify you in the multiplayer room.
• Game Actions: Your game choices (e.g., voting, spinning the wheel, hiding in Grid Quest) are transmitted to our servers to facilitate gameplay.

B. Information Collected Automatically

• Log Files: Like most websites, we use standard server log files. These files log visitors when they visit the site. The information collected includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, and referring/exit pages. This data is used for analyzing trends, administering the site, and preventing abuse.
• Cookies: We use cookies to maintain your session and for third-party services (Analytics and Ads).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the multiplayer game functionality.
• Sync game state between players in real-time.
• Analyze website traffic and user behavior (via Google Analytics) to improve our games.
• Serve relevant advertisements (via Google AdSense) to support the free service.

3. Data Retention

Game Data: Active game data (rooms, players, current scores) is stored in the server's temporary memory (RAM). This data is deleted automatically when the room is closed or all players leave.

Server Logs: Technical logs containing IP addresses and gameplay activity may be retained for a limited period for security, debugging, and maintenance purposes.

4. Third-Party Services
