Privacy policy

1. Data we handle and why

• Anonymous sign-in: Firebase assigns a persistent user ID and authentication credentials so you can own a room, submit your own answers and votes, and reconnect. “Anonymous” means we do not ask for a login name, email, or password; activity can still be linked to this ID.
• Room and gameplay information: room code, host and player IDs, display name, character, connection status, prompts, submitted answers, votes, scores, round state, titles, and timestamps. We use this information to operate and synchronize the game.
• Session and preference data on your device: saved room, player identity, display name, character, answer drafts, and settings such as audio volume and extended timers. This lets you return after refreshing or locking your phone and preserves your preferences.
• Security and delivery information: our hosting and authentication providers process technical information such as IP addresses, browser/device information, and service requests to deliver the app, authenticate connections, and prevent abuse. We also store room-creation counts and timestamps against a host's anonymous ID to limit spam.
• Support messages: if you email us, we receive your email address and anything you include so we can respond and handle privacy or support requests.

The game does not request access to your contacts, precise location, microphone, or photo library, and does not record your voice. Do not put sensitive personal information into a display name, answer, or support message.

2. Who can see your information

Your room: the host and authorized participants can access room data, including player names, characters, answers, votes, and results. Game timing and presentation are not a promise that submitted information is secret from other participants. People in the room may also see the shared TV screen or capture what it displays. Share room codes only with people you want to join.

Service providers: Google Firebase provides authentication, cloud database storage, and web hosting. The player and host websites also request fonts and software files from Google servers, which receive the technical information needed to serve those requests. See Firebase's privacy and security information and Google's Privacy Policy.

We use providers under their applicable privacy, security, and data-processing terms, and require providers handling information for us to protect it and use it only for the services they provide. Authorized operators may access stored records for support, security, maintenance, and deletion requests. We may disclose information when legally required, to protect people or the service, or as part of a business transfer subject to applicable privacy protections.

Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate. Applicable contractual and legal safeguards govern those transfers. A room code is an invitation mechanism, not a password for confidential information.

3. Storage, retention, and security

On your device: browser storage and the Apple TV app retain sign-in, session, and preference information until the relevant data is cleared. Leaving a game clears its player recovery state; it does not necessarily remove the underlying Firebase sign-in. Clearing website data or removing the app may prevent you from resuming a previous identity.

In the cloud: room records and associated player, answer, vote, session, and quota records currently remain until we remove them through maintenance or a verified deletion request. Finishing or leaving a game does not automatically delete these records. There is currently no automatic expiry period for game rooms.

We retain support correspondence as needed to resolve the request and meet legal obligations. Limited information may be retained when necessary for security, fraud prevention, or legal requirements. Providers may retain operational logs and backups under their own retention schedules; Firebase describes these in its privacy documentation.

We use encrypted network connections, authenticated access, and database rules that limit room access and player writes. No service can guarantee absolute security. Other participants' screenshots or copies are outside our control.

4. Your choices and privacy requests

You may stop playing at any time, leave the room when the game offers that action, and clear the site's storage using your browser settings. You can change the app's audio and timer preferences in Settings. Clearing local storage does not delete cloud records.

To request access, correction, deletion of game data or an anonymous sign-in, or to raise a privacy concern, email brad@bradlyrobert.com. Include the room code, display name, and approximate date of play if available. Do not send passwords or authentication tokens. We may need additional information to locate the records and verify that the request concerns your data.

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to a copy of your information, portability, restriction of processing, objection, or withdrawal of consent where processing relies on consent. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing. We will handle requests as required by applicable law. You may also contact your local privacy regulator. We do not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

We do not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, so there is no advertising sale or sharing to opt out of in the current game.

5. Adults only

Jeezaloo is intended for people aged 18 and older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect children's personal information. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can investigate and remove it where appropriate.

6. Changes to this policy

We will publish revisions here with an updated effective date. If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by law.
