Privacy Policy

Picture Brawl is a picture-naming game for ages 13 and up. This page says what the game knows about you, in plain words.

What we collect

• A nickname and a random player ID. You can play as a guest without giving us anything else. The game needs an internet connection; there is no offline play.
• Your sign-in, if you make a free account: your Google or Apple account ID (Sign in with Apple can hide your real email) or your email address. We use it only to sign you in. We never show it to anyone or send you marketing.
• A profile photo, only if you upload one. Google Cloud Vision checks it automatically for nudity, violence and text before anyone can see it. It's deleted when you remove or replace it.
• Game data: your ranks and ratings (ratings are never shown to other players), duel results, which pictures you named and how fast, Daily 10 scores, season medals and coins, and your match history (online games for up to 90 days; solo and bot games stay on your device).
• Friends and chat, if you use them: your friends list, requests and blocks, and messages with friends. Only friends can message you. Messages are filtered (bad words, links, phone numbers and email addresses are blocked) and kept for 30 days; a message you or your friend report is kept for review.
• Reports you send about pictures, photos or messages.
• Technical data: a rough region (such as "Americas") to match you with nearby players, and whether you play with a keyboard or a touch screen, so matches are fair.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your data.
• We don't show your real name, email or location to anyone.
• Picture Brawl is for ages 13 and up and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13; if we learn we have, we delete it. Parents can contact us at the address below.

Ads and purchases

The free Android app may show ads between duels, never during one; the iPhone app shows no ads for now. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may use a device advertising ID to show relevant ads; you can turn personalised ads off in your phone's settings. If iPhone ads start later, this page will say so first. Picture Brawl Plus (an optional subscription with cosmetic extras) and one-time cosmetic packs are sold through Apple and Google and managed with RevenueCat; we never see your card details, only whether you own a purchase. Nothing sold helps you win.

On the website (picturebrawl.com), ads may be served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to show and measure ads, and may use them to personalise ads; you can turn personalised ads off at adssettings.google.com. In the EU, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent before any advertising cookies are used. See how Google uses data from sites that use its services.

What other players can see

Your profile is public inside the game, so anyone can open it from the leaderboard or by searching your nickname. It shows your nickname, your photo or avatar, your rank and season emblems, your world place, your win rate and best streak, any looks you've earned or chosen (name colour, frame, backdrop), and whether you're online (you can hide this in Settings). It never shows your email, how you signed in, your rating numbers, or where you are. Only friends can message you, and you choose who can send you friend requests. Blocking someone hides your photo from them and stops their requests and messages.

Where data lives

Game data is stored on servers run by Fly.io and Supabase in the United States. Duel timings may be replayed anonymously as "ghost" opponents for other players; ghosts show only a nickname and rank.

Your choices

• Change your nickname and photo any time in Profile.
• Delete your account in Settings → Delete account. Your profile is hidden from everyone straight away (leaderboards, friends, search). You have 30 days to change your mind: sign back in and it comes back. After 30 days we erase your player profile, your sign-in, your profile photo, your chat messages, your Daily 10 scores and your leaderboard place for good, and your recorded games are never replayed as ghosts again. Duels you played stay in your opponents' match history, shown as "Deleted player" and no longer linked to any account. See how to delete your account.
• Guests, or anyone who can't open the app, can ask us to delete their data by emailing the address below with their player name.
