Privacy
The house keeps game data and, with your permission, website analytics.
What is stored, and why
- Email — to sign you in and send the letters below. Guests have none.
- Nickname and avatar — shown to other players. An avatar you upload is shown at once and taken down if reported, until reviewed.
- One session cookie, and the device and place it was opened from, so you can see and end your own sessions in settings.
- Results and history — every finished game, your rating, level, streak and the night's card. Results are public on your profile and, unless you opt out, the house leaderboard.
- Friends, trades and your shelf — who you added, what you offered and own.
- The bell's feed — one row for each thing that happened to you: a game you finished, a level, a chest, a friend request, a trade. Kept thirty days.
- Push subscriptions — the endpoint your browser or phone gives us, only if you turned notifications on.
- Your timezone offset — so the night's card turns over at your midnight.
- Your IP address — kept briefly for rate limits and abuse, never shown.
- Reports and blocks — what you reported or blocked, and reports about you, with the line reported.
Who processes it
Cloudflare (the servers, the database and avatar storage), Resend (mail: confirm your address, reset your password, and — only when a notification cannot reach you any other way, never for a call to a table — a letter about a friend, a trade or a finished match), and Google, Apple or X — only the one you sign in with, and only if you use a social door at all. PostHog processes website analytics — anonymous by default, identified only with your permission. Google serves the ads described below.
Website analytics
We use PostHog, hosted in the EU, to see how people find and use the site and the game: pages opened, where a visit came from, device and browser type, clicks, game steps and connection errors. By default this is anonymous. Nothing is stored on your device, and PostHog tells visits apart by a hash of your IP address and browser, computed on its servers with a key it discards every day, so it cannot follow you from one day to the next or connect a visit to your account.
If you say yes — Sure on the card in the lobby, Share play data under Settings → Privacy, or Privacy choices at the bottom of these pages — we also store a browser identifier in cookies and local storage, link it to your internal account number, account type, level and tutorial progress, record approximate location, and may record sessions: page structure and interactions, with text, inputs and images hidden. We never send your email, nickname, chat messages, passwords, dice or private link tokens.
You can change your answer at any time in the same places, and saying no never limits the game. Switching it off stops identified collection and clears the browser identifier; it does not erase earlier records. Deleting your game account does not automatically delete PostHog records. To request their deletion, contact support@liars-dice.club. Local development and the native apps do not load this analytics.
Advertising
The site and the apps may show rewarded video ads: one short ad, only when you tap the offer on the results screen, in exchange for doubling that table's XP. No ad is shown during a game, and none affects who wins. Ads are served by Google — AdSense on the web, AdMob in the apps. To show and measure them, Google and its certified partners may store cookies on the web, read the device's advertising identifier in the apps, and use them to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites and apps — or, where you have not agreed to that, ads based only on the page you are on. When an ad has been watched, Google tells us so; the ad networks never receive your email, nickname or game data.
In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland you are asked before any of this runs, and you can change your answer under Privacy choices at the bottom of these pages or in Settings → Privacy. You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at google.com/settings/ads, and read how Google uses data from sites and apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
How long game data is kept
Sessions until they expire or you end them; the bell's feed thirty days; reports ninety days after they are resolved; everything else for as long as the account exists. A deleted account is erased at once, but for two things: the nickname on other players' record of a game you finished, and the house's own record of a moderation action, which keeps an account number and, for a rename, the nickname it changed.
Deletion
Delete your account — from the app, or by mail if you cannot sign in.
