Privacy

The short version

• You never need an account to play. Signing in with Google is optional, and it is only offered when you save a score.
• We do not use advertising, tracking or analytics, and we do not set cookies. We never ask for a password.
• The only thing we ask for is a nickname, and only if you choose to put your score on a leaderboard. If you sign in with Google, we also keep your email address (see below).
• Please use a nickname and not your real name. If you are a child, ask a grown-up first.

What we store, and why

Your game

While you play, our server keeps your game (the cards dealt, the questions you asked, your points and your guesses) so that you can carry on after a page reload. It is not linked to your name. It is deleted automatically after about two days.

Leaderboards

If you choose to save a score, we store the nickname you typed, your score (or the clues you used, for the daily puzzle) and the time. Anyone who opens the leaderboard can see these. The daily puzzle board is cleared once a new day's puzzle has a result. Full game scores are kept until we remove them.

Your IP address

When you start a game or save a score, our server writes a log line that includes your IP address (the number that identifies your internet connection). When you save a score, that line also has the nickname you typed. We use this only to spot and stop abuse, such as spam or cheating. These logs are deleted after one month. Our hosting provider also handles your IP address as part of delivering the website.

On your own device

Your browser keeps a few small items in its local storage, so the game can remember you: the game in progress, whether you have played before, whether sound is muted, today's daily puzzle result and your card album. They stay on your device. We cannot see them, and clearing your browser data removes them.

If you sign in with Google

When you save a score you can choose to sign in with your Google account instead of just typing a name. This is optional. If you do:

• What we keep: the ID number Google gives your account (a code, not your name), your email address, the nickname you choose, which characters are in your card album, and your game results (best score, daily puzzle entries and race record). We ask Google only for permission to see your email address. We do not receive or keep your real name, photo, contacts or anything else from your Google account.
• Why: to show your score under your nickname, to allow one entry per person on each day's puzzle board, to find your account if you ask us to remove your data, and to stop abuse. We do not send marketing email and we do not sell or share your email address.
• How long: until you ask us to remove it.
• Who handles the sign-in: Google, and Amazon Web Services (Amazon Cognito), on a page at auth.getbiblical.org. Google will know that you signed in to Get Biblical.
• What we receive from Google is used only to run sign-in and your scores. Our use of information received from Google follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

If you are a child, please ask a grown-up before you sign in.

What we do not do

• We do not ask for your real name, age, phone number or location, and we keep an email address only if you choose to sign in with Google.
• We do not sell or share your information, and we do not show ads.
• We do not load anything from other companies' websites (no ad networks, no analytics, no external fonts).

Races with a friend

When you start or join a race, we store the nickname you typed, the race code, both players' scores and progress, and the times you were last seen in it. The other player sees your nickname, how many cards you have finished and your points, nothing else, and there is no chat. A race is deleted automatically after about two days. To limit abuse, we also keep a counter per internet address (stored as a scrambled code, not the address itself) of how many races it started in the last hour; it is deleted after two hours. If you are signed in with Google, we keep a count of the races you have won and lost with your account. Racing never needs an account.

Challenge links

If you share a challenge link after a game, the link contains the nickname and score you chose to share. Anyone with the link can read them, and anyone could change them, so only share it with people you trust.

Where the data lives

Get Biblical™ runs on Amazon Web Services. Game data and leaderboards are stored in the AWS Mumbai (India) region.

Children

This game is made for families and children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond the nickname they choose to put on a leaderboard and, if they choose to sign in with Google, the sign-in details described above. Children should ask a grown-up before signing in. A parent or guardian who wants a leaderboard entry or a signed-in account removed can ask us, and we will remove it.

Removing your data, or any question

To have your nickname, leaderboard entries or signed-in account removed, email contact@airambhacademy.com with the subject Remove my Get Biblical data. Tell us the nickname, and if you signed in with Google, the email address you used, so we can find it. For any other question, use the same address or cladiusfernando.com.

Changes

If this changes, we will update this page before the change goes live. Last updated 11 November 2026 (races added).
