Privacy Policy

What we collect

Account details. If you create an account, we store your email address, your display name, and a secure one-way hash of your password. We never store your actual password and cannot see it.

Gameplay. We record each reveal you make: which tier, the amount paid, when, and the count you saw. This is what lets the game show your progress and keep the tallies honest.

Payments.Payments are handled by our payment provider, which acts as the Merchant of Record. Your card details go to them, not to us: we never see or store your full card number. We keep a record that a reveal was paid and the provider's order reference, so we can match payments and handle support or refunds.

Playing as a guest. If you play without an account, a random game id is stored in your browser so your reveals stay with you on that device. It holds no personal information and you can clear it by clearing your browser storage.

If you sign in with Google. Google shares your verified email address and name so we can create or find your account. We do not receive your Google password.

Technical data. Like most sites, we briefly use your IP address to prevent abuse (rate limiting). It is not attached to your account or kept as a long-term profile of you.

How we use it

To run the game: create and secure your account, record your reveals, and show your progress.

To take payment for a reveal, through our payment provider.

To keep the game working and fair: prevent abuse, debug problems, and provide support.

We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not build a marketing profile of you.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your data. We share it only with the service providers that make the game work, and only for that purpose:

Payment provider (a Merchant of Record) to process payments and handle card data.

Google, only if you choose to sign in with Google.

Our database and hosting providers, which store the data and run the app on our behalf.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the game and its players from fraud or abuse.

Cookies and local storage

A session cookie keeps you signed in. It is essential to logging in and cannot be turned off while you use an account.

Your theme choice (light or dark) and, for guests, your game id are stored in your browser. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Keeping your data, and your choices

We keep your account and reveal history for as long as your account exists, and payment records for as long as we need them for accounting and support.

You can ask us to access or delete your account data by contacting us (see below). Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your personal data, and you can exercise them the same way.

Security, and children

We protect your data with standard measures: passwords are hashed, connections use TLS, and access is limited. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable care.

How Many Paid is not directed at children, and is not intended for anyone under the age required to form a contract or make a payment where they live.

Changes and contact

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
