Privacy

QA Game is an ephemeral icebreaker game. No account. Games expire after 6 hours. Your question drafts live in your browser's localStorage. Telemetry goes to Lotl Observe.

There are no user accounts. Hosts create games with a 4-character code; players join by name. The whole game is wiped 6 hours after creation. Personal question drafts are stored in your browser's localStorage only.

What we collect

We collect and store the following:

Game state (ephemeral): Each game holds: a 4-char code, the host's display name, players' display names, the question being asked, the current turn order, and any trigger warnings selected. Everything is wiped 6 hours after the game is created.Stored on our server. Held briefly during the request and discarded. Six-hour TTL applied automatically. No game state survives beyond expiry. Legal basis: legitimate interests. Removable when you delete your account.
Personal question drafts (browser only): Personal question drafts you save are stored in your browser's localStorage only. Nothing is sent to the server; clearing your browser data resets your drafts.Stored in your browser. Kept until you delete it. Legal basis: legitimate interests. Removable when you delete your account.
Usage telemetry: Page views, game-creation events, join events, and crash reports sent to Lotl Observe. Does not include game content (question text, player names, etc.).Stored on our server. Kept permanently. Legal basis: legitimate interests. Not individually deletable. Shared with: Lotl Observe.
