Your phone number, the display name you choose in-game, and gameplay data (answers, guesses, and scores) exchanged as part of playing.
To run the game — sending prompts, relaying messages between players, tracking scores — and to respond to HELP and STOP requests.
We do not sell your information.
We do not share your phone number, mobile opt-in status, or SMS content with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the categories of information described above exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
We use Twilio solely as our SMS delivery platform to send and receive the game's text messages. Twilio is not a marketing or promotional third party — it acts only as our messaging infrastructure provider, processes this data solely to deliver messages on our behalf, and does not use it for its own marketing purposes.
We keep your information for as long as you continue playing. You can ask us to delete your data at any time — see Contact below.
