Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how LandGuessr handles information when you use the website, gameplay, account, and support features. It is written for the current beta-ready product and should be reviewed before a paid public launch.

Information we collect

• Account information from Auth0, including your email address, display name, Auth0 subject identifier, email verification status, and session identifiers.
• Gameplay information, including games started, guesses, scores, completion status, usage ledgers, daily challenge activity, and leaderboard entries.
• Anonymous browser identifiers stored in cookies so we can enforce daily free-round limits and resume anonymous gameplay.
• Technical information such as request metadata, device/browser details, approximate usage timestamps, and security logs.
• Product analytics events if analytics are enabled, such as game starts, guesses, completions, signups, and waitlist or share actions.
• Error diagnostics if Sentry or a similar error-monitoring service is enabled. We configure these tools to avoid intentionally collecting sensitive gameplay secrets or exact target coordinates before a guess is submitted.
• Billing information when paid subscriptions are enabled. Payment card details are handled by Stripe; LandGuessr stores subscription status and identifiers needed to manage access.

How we use information

• Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions.
• Operate gameplay, scoring, leaderboards, and daily limits.
• Detect abuse, enforce game rules, and protect service integrity.
• Improve onboarding, retention, support, and product quality.
• Provide customer support and account deletion/export workflows.
• Process subscriptions and billing support when paid plans launch.

Cookies and local identifiers

LandGuessr uses cookies for authentication, anonymous gameplay identification, security, and daily usage enforcement. Anonymous identifiers are not intended to identify you by name, but they do distinguish one browser from another.

Third-party services

We use third-party services to operate the product, including Auth0 for authentication, Mapbox for map display, hosting/database/cache providers, and Stripe for billing when subscriptions are enabled. These providers process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Satellite imagery and maps

Gameplay scenes and map tiles are loaded through configured imagery and map providers. We do not intentionally expose target coordinates to clients before a guess is submitted.

Data retention

We retain account, gameplay, support, and operational data for as long as needed to provide the service, enforce rules, satisfy security needs, support billing records when paid plans launch, and comply with applicable obligations. We may keep aggregated or de-identified analytics after account deletion.

Your choices

Signed-in users can request an account export or deletion from the Account data page. If the self-service flow is unavailable, contact support@landguessr.com. For beta, manual requests are handled within 30 days unless a shorter period is required.

Children and classrooms

LandGuessr is not intended for children to use without appropriate parent, guardian, school, or teacher consent. Classroom use should avoid sharing student personal information unless the school has approved the tool and its data practices.

Changes

We may update this policy as the product, mobile apps, analytics, or billing features change. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
