Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Oddshot stores when you play it as a Discord Activity, and why. We keep it to what the game needs to work.
What we store
- Your Discord user ID and display name. We get these from Discord when you allow the game to sign you in (the
identifypermission). - The IDs of the Discord servers you open the game from. They decide which leaderboard you appear on.
- Only if you say yes to "show your results in all your servers?": the IDs of the Discord servers you're a member of, which Discord shares with the
guildspermission when you allow it. We use them only to show your daily and round results on the leaderboards (and in the daily results message) of those servers that use Oddshot. We don't store server names, icons or anything else. Say no in the game (tap "RESULTS" / "SERVERS" on the start screen) and we delete the list. - Your game results: the answer you locked in for each question, its points, and when you played. Practice replays are not saved.
- When you play: when you first and last opened the game, and which days you played in the last 120 days. We store the same for each Discord server the game is opened from. We use this to see how the game is doing, for example how many people come back.
- Your look and progress: the clothes and bow you've picked in STYLE, what you've unlocked, and how many multiplayer games you've won.
- Multiplayer: while a match is going on, the lobby (who is in it, their answers and points) is kept only in the server's memory and is gone when the match ends or the server restarts. After a match we save an anonymous record: when it was played, how many players took part and which game settings were used, but not who played.
- Reports you send: if you flag a question, we store the report type, what you wrote, the answer you gave, the time, and your user ID and display name, so we can follow up and avoid duplicates. We keep the latest 100 reports per question.
- Guesses the game didn't accept: the text of a guess that was rejected, how many times it was tried, and a shortened form of the player ID (the last 6 digits, up to 9 per guess) to count how many different players tried it. Your name isn't stored with it. We use this to find real answers that are missing from the lists, and keep at most 250 different guesses per question. Please don't type personal information as an answer.
- Codes: if you redeem an unlock code, which code you used.
- A session token so the game knows it's you between questions. It expires after 60 days.
- What you've bought. If you buy something in the game, we ask Discord which Oddshot products your account owns, so we can unlock them. We never see your card or payment details; Discord handles the payment.
- Anonymous answer counts (how many people gave a certain answer) to tune how rare each answer is.
We don't store your email, messages, voice, friends list or payment details. We don't use ads or trackers, and we don't sell or share your data with advertisers.
Why we use it
To run the game: sign you in, save your score, prevent more than one attempt per round, run multiplayer matches, unlock what you've earned or bought, and show leaderboards to players on the same Discord server. The legal basis for this is that it is needed to provide the game you chose to play.
To improve the game: play statistics, reports and rejected guesses help us fix unclear questions and add missing answers. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in making the game work well. We only use these numbers inside the developer team and never to profile you or for advertising.
Who can see it
Players on the same Discord server can see your display name and scores on that server's leaderboard, and your daily score in that server's daily results message. In multiplayer, everyone in the same match (the same Discord Activity) sees your name, your archer's look, your answers and your points. Your look is also visible to other players on the multiplayer podium. Reports and rejected guesses are only seen by the developer. The game runs on Google Cloud (region europe-north1, Finland), which processes the data on our behalf. Discord also handles your account under Discord's Privacy Policy.
How long we keep it
- Results, your look and unlocks: while the game is running, so leaderboards and unlocks stay correct.
- Which days you played: the last 120 days.
- Sign-in sessions: 60 days.
- Multiplayer lobbies: only during the match.
- Reports: the latest 100 per question. Rejected guesses: at most 250 per question, the least repeated are removed first.
You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
