Privacy policy

Who’s responsible

The game’s owner is responsible for privacy here. Contact: support@imgoingcamping.app

What’s stored

• A random ID for your browser. A cookie holding a random code, so the game can keep your games and stats together. It isn’t linked to your name or device, and it lasts a year. If you sign in, it’s linked to your account (below).
• Your email, if you sign in. Signing in is optional. If you do, your email address is kept so you can sign in again, and it’s linked to your games so they follow you to other devices. It’s used for nothing else: no newsletters, and it’s never shown to anyone.
• If you sign in with Google. Google sends the game your email address, your name, your profile picture link, and an ID for your Google account. Only the email address is used, as above. The rest is kept with your account by Supabase, the sign-in service, and deleted with it. The game never sees your Google password and gets nothing else from your Google account.
• Your games. For each day’s puzzle: what you asked about, the clues you were shown, your rule attempts, any appeal, and when you played. These make your stats, streak, and results work.
• Answers to guesses, shared by everyone. When something is asked about for the first time, the answer is saved so every player gets the same one. That saved answer includes the words that were typed, but not who typed them.
• Speed limits. To stop automated flooding, the game counts requests per browser ID and per network. The network is stored as a scrambled code, not as the address itself, and these counts are deleted within two days.
• Feedback you send. Your message, the email you leave (or your account’s), and what would help track down a problem: the page you were on, your settings, your screen size, and your browser. It goes to the owner by email and isn’t stored in the game.
• Settings on your device. Choices like Text size are kept in your browser only. Hard mode is also sent with your first guess of the day and saved with that game, so the clues come at its pace.
• The iPhone app’s daily reminder. If you turn it on, your iPhone books the reminders itself. Nothing about it is sent to the game or anyone else, and the app collects nothing beyond what’s listed here.

Who else handles it

• Cloudflare hosts the game. Like any website host, it sees your IP address when your browser connects. It also counts visits (Cloudflare Web Analytics), which uses no cookies.
• Supabase stores the game’s data listed above.
• Supabase also handles signing in: it keeps your email address.
• Google checks who you are if you choose Sign in with Google. Google’s own privacy policy covers what it keeps about that.
• Resend delivers the sign-in code emails and your feedback. It sees your email address and the code, or your feedback as described above, nothing else.
• OpenRouter and Google run the AI that judges what you type: the things you ask about and your rule attempts. OpenRouter passes them to Google’s Gemini model, and Google’s own service is the backup. They receive only the words being judged and the puzzle’s rule, never your ID. So don’t type personal information into the game.

Nothing is sold or shared for advertising.

Where it’s kept

I’m Going Camping is run from British Columbia, Canada. The game’s data is stored by Supabase in the United States, and Cloudflare, Resend, OpenRouter, and Google may handle it in the United States or other countries. While it’s there, it’s subject to those countries’ laws.

How long it’s kept

• Speed-limit counts: deleted within two days.
• Feedback: kept in the owner’s email for as long as it’s useful.
• The browser ID cookie: a year after your last visit.
• Your games and account: for as long as the game runs, so your stats and streak keep working, or until you delete them (below).

Your choices

• If you haven’t signed in, clearing this site’s data in your browser gives you a fresh start: a new ID, with no games or stats. Your old games stay in the database but can no longer be connected to you (use Delete my games first to remove them). If you have signed in, your games stay with your account: signing in again brings them back.
• If you signed in, you can delete your account at any time in Settings. That removes your email address and every game played on the account, straight away.
• If you haven’t signed in, Delete my games in Settings removes your games, stats, and appeals from the database, straight away.
• You can also ask to see what’s stored about you, or to have it corrected, by emailing support@imgoingcamping.app. We’ll answer within 30 days.
• If you’re unhappy with how your information is handled, you can complain to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, or your local data protection authority in the EU or UK.

Children

Playing doesn’t ask for any personal information. Signing in asks for an email address, so accounts are for people 13 and over.

Changes

If what the game collects changes (for example if a paid tier is added), this page will be updated first, with a new date at the top.
