Privacy Policy

Last updated June 2, 2026

Buzzword Bingo Game (buzzwordbingogame.com) is a personal project run by Frank Ledo. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and how it is used.

What we collect

If you play without an account: We collect no personal information. Server access logs (including IP addresses) are retained for up to one year for security and traffic analysis, then automatically deleted.

If you create an account: We store your email address, a username you choose, and any bingo games you create. Your email is never displayed publicly — only your username is visible. We generate a profile avatar by passing a one-way hash of your email address to Gravatar; Gravatar may show a photo if you have an account there, otherwise a geometric pattern is shown.

Sign-in methods

You can sign in with an email address and password, or via Google, Apple, or Facebook. When you use a third-party provider, we receive only your email address and a provider-specific identifier — we do not receive your password or other profile data from those services. Their own privacy policies govern what they collect.

Cookies

We use one session cookie (next-auth.session-token) to keep you signed in. It is HTTP-only, never readable by JavaScript, and expires when you sign out or after 24 hours of inactivity. A short-lived CSRF cookie is also set to protect form submissions. We use no advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.

How we use your information

  • To authenticate you and maintain your session
  • To display your games on your public creator profile
  • To generate your Gravatar avatar
  • We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising

Where data is stored

Account data is stored on Amazon Web Services infrastructure in the United States, encrypted at rest and in transit.

Deleting your account

To delete your account and all associated data, email contact@buzzwordbingogame.com from the address associated with your account. We will delete your data within 30 days.
