Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 9, 2026. thespyfall.com is a free browser game with no accounts and no sign-up. This page explains exactly what data the game touches, why, and for how long.
What We Collect
Nothing, for local pass-and-play
In local pass-and-play mode, the entire game runs in your browser. Player names and game state stay on your device and are never sent to a server.
Minimal session data, for online rooms
When you create or join an online room, the game stores:
- An anonymous session ID — created automatically via Firebase anonymous authentication. No email, password, name, or account is required or collected for this.
- The display name you type — visible to other players in your room. It can be anything; it doesn't need to be your real name.
- Room and game state — the room code, roles, votes, and timer, stored in Firebase Realtime Database (a Google service) only while the room is active.
Room data is temporary: it is deleted when the room is cleaned up after the game ends or the room goes inactive. Your display name is also saved in your own browser's local storage purely so you don't have to retype it next time — you can clear it anytime by clearing your browser data.
