Privacy policy

This policy covers the Fungaroo website and app at fungaroo.com, including the version installed to a home screen (“Fungaroo”, “we”, “us”). If anything here is unclear, ask us.

What stays on your device

These are saved in your browser’s storage and are never sent to us: player names and age groups, game settings, which question packs are switched on, which games have used today’s free round, which questions you’ve already played, and whether you said yes to usage statistics. Questions you’ve downloaded are cached on the device so games work offline. Remove players in Settings, or clear everything by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

What we receive

If you sign in (only needed for Unlimited and packs)

You can sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook. We use Firebase Authentication, which receives from that provider your name, email address, profile picture link and an account id. If you choose Apple’s “Hide My Email”, we only get a relay address. We store whether your account has Unlimited, which packs it owns, which questions you’ve already played (so new ones come first on every device — clear it any time in Settings), and the last unlock code it redeemed. We don’t get your password, your contacts, your posts or anything else from the provider.

If you allow usage statistics

Statistics are off until someone on the device taps Allow, and you can turn them off any time in Settings. When on, Google Analytics receives events like “a game started”, “a question was swapped” or “a trivia answer was right”, with the game, age group and settings involved, plus a random device identifier, browser and device type, and approximate location derived from your IP address. We never send player names or anything typed. Advertising features, ad personalization and Google signals are switched off. Google keeps this data for a limited time (two months under its default setting) and it isn’t linked to your account.

If you send us a message

The contact and feedback forms store what you write, the email address if you give one, and — for bug reports, unless you untick it — your app version, screen size and browser. We use these only to reply and to improve Fungaroo, and delete them once they’ve served that purpose.

Every visit

Like any website, our host (Google Firebase Hosting) handles your IP address and browser details to deliver pages, and may keep short-lived logs for security and reliability. Fonts and all other files come from our own site, not third-party servers.

Purchases

Fungaroo Unlimited is $2.99 once and question packs are $1.49 each. When purchases open, payment will be handled by a payment provider; we’ll receive confirmation of what was bought, never your card number. Unlock codes are tied to the account that redeems them so they can’t be reused.

What we don’t do

• We don’t sell or rent personal information, or share it for advertising.
• We don’t show ads.
• We don’t use a microphone, camera, contacts or precise location.
• We don’t post anything to your Google, Apple or Facebook account.

Who processes data for us

Google (Firebase Hosting, Firestore database, Authentication and Google Analytics) stores and processes the data above on our behalf, mainly in the United States. Google, Apple and Meta handle sign-in under their own privacy policies. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

Children

Fungaroo has questions for ages 5 and up and is meant to be played together, on a grown-up’s device. Children don’t need to provide any personal information to play: player names stay on the device. Signing in, buying packs, turning on statistics and sending messages are for adults (18+) or with a parent’s or guardian’s permission. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you think a child has sent us some, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Your choices and rights

• Delete your account and everything tied to it — see Delete your data.
• Turn statistics off in Settings; this also removes the Analytics cookies from the device.
• Ask for a copy, a correction or deletion of anything we hold about you through the contact page. Depending on where you live (for example California, Virginia, Colorado, the EU or the UK), you may have further rights under local law; we honor these requests for everyone.

Security

Data is sent over HTTPS. Database rules let an account read only its own records; messages can be added but never read back from the app. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we hold to the minimum above.

Changes

If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top. Significant changes will be shown in the app.
