Your data, protected
Privacy Policy
WorldClue is a multiplayer geography game. This policy explains exactly what information we collect, why we need it, how we keep it safe, and the rights you have over your data.
Last updated: July 7, 2026
What information we collect
To run your account and the multiplayer experience, we store:
- Username — your public Explorer Name.
- Email address — used for sign-in and account recovery.
- Login provider — e.g. Google, when you use social sign-in.
- Statistics — points, ranks, RP, win/loss and best distances.
- Friends — your friends list and friend requests.
- Cosmetics — avatars, frames, banners, titles and other items you own or equip.
- Coins — your in-game virtual currency balance and transactions.
- Leaderboards — your ranking position among other players.
- Chat messages — messages you send to other players.
- Match history — records of the games and rounds you play.
Why we collect it
We only collect what we need to provide the game. Your email enables secure sign-in, your username identifies you to friends and opponents, and your statistics, coins and cosmetics make up your progress and profile.
How your data is stored securely
Your data is stored on managed, encrypted cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. Access is protected by strict row-level security rules, so players can only read and modify the data they are permitted to. Passwords are never stored in plain text and social logins are handled by the provider you choose.
How long we keep your data
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, your personal data and profile are permanently removed. Some anonymized or aggregated records (for example global leaderboard totals that no longer identify you) may be retained for the integrity of the game.
Your rights under GDPR
If you are in the EU/EEA (and similar protections elsewhere), you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
Right to request deletion
You can permanently delete your account and associated data at any time from Settings → Delete Account, or by contacting us. Deletion is immediate and irreversible.
Children
WorldClue is not directed at children under the age required by your local law to consent to data processing. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will remove it.
