The short version
Tipoff keeps only what it needs to run the game: your scores, and if you make an account, your email and username. We don't sell data. Free players may see ads; Tipoff+ members never do.
If you play as a guest
- Your browser stores your daily progress, streak, best score and sound setting (local storage). Clearing site data removes them.
- A random ID cookie (
tipoff_pid) links your daily scores so we can show where you rank against other players. It contains nothing about you. - We save each daily guess and score with that ID and the time it took. These power the percentile, distribution chart and anti-cheat checks.
If you make an account
- Your email address (or your Google account's email if you sign in with Google), used only to sign you in.
- The username you choose, shown on leaderboards and to friends.
- Your daily plays, streaks, achievements and friend list.
- If you choose, the guest plays from your device are moved onto your account.
Who processes it
- Supabase stores the database and handles sign-in.
- Vercel hosts the site and provides privacy-friendly, cookie-free page analytics (page views, no personal profiles).
- Google Analytics measures how the game is used (pages visited, rounds played, shares) so we can improve it. It sets cookies (
_ga) outside the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland; there, it runs without cookies. Ad features are switched off, and nothing is used for advertising. You can opt out with Google's browser add-on. - Map tiles load from Esri, which sees your IP address like any website you load images from.
- Brevo sends Tipoff's news and reminder emails, only if you opt in (on sign-up, on your profile, or by confirming your email from the sign-up box). We share just your email and username with it. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can switch emails off on your profile; deleting your account removes you from Brevo too.
- Stripe handles Tipoff+ payments. Your card details go to Stripe, never to us; we keep only your subscription status, plan and renewal date.
- Free players may see ads from Google AdSense between rounds and on the end-of-day screen, never during a round. Google may use cookies to show and measure ads, and, where the law allows and you agree, to personalize them. In the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland you're asked first. You can manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
Your choices
You can play without an account. You can ask us to delete your account and everything tied to it at any time.
Kids
Tipoff is a family-friendly game. Accounts are for players 13 and older; younger players can play as guests, which stores nothing that identifies them.
