Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

WorldGuessr is operated by CoderGautam LLC ("we," "us") in the United States. This Privacy Policy applies to worldguessr.com and our mobile apps (the "Service").

1. What We Collect

We intentionally collect very little. You can play as a guest with no account and no personal information.

If you sign in with Google, we store:

Our servers also log basic technical data (IP address, browser, timestamps) for security and abuse prevention, and we use Google Analytics for anonymous, aggregate usage stats.

2. What We Do NOT Collect

3. How We Use Information

To run the game (authenticate logins, save progress, show leaderboards), to keep the Service safe (moderation, abuse prevention), and to fix bugs. That's it.

4. Children's Privacy

WorldGuessr is family-friendly. The full game can be played as a guest, with no account and no personal information collected.

Account creation requires you to be at least 13 years old. Users under 13 should play as guests, or use the Service under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or school. We do not knowingly create accounts for children under 13 without verifiable parental or school-administrator consent. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will delete it.

Parents, guardians, and school administrators can request deletion of a child's account at any time by emailing [email protected]. We comply with COPPA.

5. Third Parties and Advertising

We use a limited set of providers, each only for their stated purpose:

About ads: we do not run our own behavioral tracking. However, NitroPay is an ad-mediation platform, and its third-party ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies for ad measurement and interest-based advertising under their own privacy practices. See NitroPay's Privacy Policy for details and opt-out options.

6. Data Retention

We keep your account data while your account is active. If you have not signed in for 24 months, we may delete your account and associated game progress. Server logs are typically rotated within 90 days. Moderation records may be retained longer to enforce these rules and prevent banned users from returning. You can request earlier deletion at any time.

7. Your Rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time by emailing [email protected] from your account email. We respond within 30 days. We do not sell personal information under the CCPA or similar state laws.

8. Security

We use HTTPS/TLS encryption and standard security practices. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep collected data minimal so there is little to expose.

9. Changes

If we update this policy we will revise the "Last Updated" date above.
