Plain-language policy
Privacy
This policy explains how Questly Games handles information on questlygames.com and in its mobile app, including saved game data, temporary online rooms, analytics, advertising, and support requests.

Who to contact
Questly Games operates this website. For questions about this policy or a request about your information, email [email protected].
Local favorites and scores
Favorites, recently played games, preferences, display name, personal bests, and privacy choices are saved in your browser’s local storage. Some games also save local session progress. These local saves are not a Questly cloud backup. Clearing this website’s browser storage removes them and may prevent reconnecting to an existing player seat.
Online room identity
Online games use Google Firebase Anonymous Authentication to create a technical browser identity without asking you to register an account or provide an email or password. Firebase persists authentication information in your browser so it can recognize your player seat. Anonymous authentication records are separate from temporary rooms and are not deleted when a room expires.
What online rooms store
To run a multiplayer session, Firebase stores room codes, display names, player identifiers, membership and connection status, timestamps, settings, moves, scores, and game submissions such as answers, captions, guesses, votes, or drawing strokes. Other room members see information required for the game. Hidden roles and unrevealed submissions are kept in server-only state, with phase-appropriate private views supplied to each player. Some answers, authors, or votes become visible when the rules reveal them. Share invites only with people you want to play with; do not enter sensitive personal information into games.
Room retention and deletion
Rooms expire six hours after creation. The scheduled cleanup job removes expired room state, presence data, and server-only game secrets. Cleanup runs periodically, so removal can occur shortly after expiry. A room is also removed when no players remain after an explicit departure. Leaving a room revokes your membership, but does not immediately erase all earlier game submissions while other players remain. Room cleanup does not erase separate authentication records, service logs, or support emails.
Service operation and security
Firebase, our hosting and network providers, and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise App Check process technical information needed to deliver the site, authenticate room actions, detect abuse, and maintain security. This can include IP addresses, browser or device information, requests, identifiers, timestamps, and diagnostic logs. Logs and anonymous authentication records have separate retention from game rooms. Contact support with questions or deletion requests about information that is not stored only on your device.
Optional analytics
Questly’s optional Google Analytics 4 events measure visits, game starts, completions, retries, searches, and feature usage. Our analytics events are off until you allow analytics using the site’s privacy choices. You can change that choice through Cookie settings in the footer. Google may process technical information and cookies as described in its policies. We do not send private game answers or votes as analytics event content, and we never record or simulate ad clicks.
Advertising and cookies
The website uses Google AdSense for advertising outside the game itself. Third-party vendors, including Google and its advertising partners, may use cookies or similar storage to serve, measure, and personalize ads based on visits to this and other websites. Advertising choices are separate from Questly’s optional analytics choice. Where applicable, the advertising consent message lets you manage purposes and vendors or decline consent. You can also manage personalized advertising through Google’s ad settings or participating third-party opt-out services.
Mobile app
The iOS and Android app supports offline play and uses a Firebase guest identity when online services are configured. Optional Apple or Google account linking supports recovery. Unlike browser-only saves, the app can sync profile data such as display name, favorites, recent games, and scores through Firebase. Settings has separate controls to remove device data and cloud profile data. Online room activity is stored temporarily to run multiplayer. The current app does not show ads or include in-app purchases. Its analytics switch is off by default and currently saves your preference without sending events off the device.
Support requests
If you email support, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use them to respond and investigate the issue. Support correspondence is separate from game-room data and is kept as needed to handle the request and related service or security issues. Do not include passwords, authentication tokens, or sensitive information that is unnecessary for your request.
Your choices
Clear this website’s browser storage to remove local favorites, scores, preferences, and saved authentication on that browser. Use Leave room to revoke your current room membership. Change optional analytics consent through Cookie settings, and use the advertising message or linked ad settings for advertising choices. For access or deletion requests concerning server-held information, contact support; we may need information that lets us identify the relevant record. Clearing browser data alone does not delete server authentication records or emails.
Audience and policy updates
Questly Games is a general-audience collection and is not directed at children under 13. Please avoid sharing children’s personal information in room names, game submissions, or support messages. We update this policy when the website’s data practices change; the date above identifies the current version.
