MovieGuess ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains in plain language exactly what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. By using movieguess.online, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
a) Information You Provide Voluntarily: When you start a game, you enter a player name (which can be any nickname — no real name required). This name is stored temporarily in our Firebase database to display on the leaderboard and in multiplayer sessions. It is not linked to any personally identifying information.
b) Automatically Collected Information: When you visit movieguess.online, our servers and third-party analytics services automatically record standard technical information including your IP address (anonymised), browser type and version, operating system, pages visited, time and date of your visit, and referring URL. This data is used solely for analysing website traffic and improving the game experience.
c) Local Storage Data: We use your browser's local storage (similar to cookies, but stored on your device) to save your game preferences (difficulty, category, era), your list of recently played movies (to avoid repeating puzzles), and your daily streak counter. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly participate in an online multiplayer session.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:
MovieGuess is supported by advertising revenue through Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
We use the following third-party services, each of which operates under its own privacy policy:
Player names and scores on the weekly leaderboard are automatically cleared at the end of each weekly tournament cycle. Multiplayer session data is deleted immediately when a session ends. Analytics data is retained by Google for 14 months as per Google Analytics default settings.
MovieGuess is a general-audience entertainment website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Depending on your country of residence, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal personal data (primarily an anonymous player name), most requests can be fulfilled by simply clearing your browser's local storage. For any other requests, please email us at contact@movieguess.online.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
