Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-24

paddockdle ("we", "us") is a free daily Formula 1 guessing game at paddockdle.com. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. Questions: [email protected].

What we collect

Account data (only if you sign in with Discord or Google): your provider user ID, display name and avatar, and — for Google — your email address. We never receive your password.

Gameplay data: your guesses, results, win streak, level and XP, tied to your account or to an anonymous ID stored on your device.

Usage data: basic analytics and, where you consent, advertising data — collected via cookies and similar technologies.

How we use it

To run the game, save your progress and streaks across devices, show leaderboards, and award levels and XP.

To understand usage and improve the game (analytics, only with your consent), and to show ads that keep paddockdle free.

Cookies & consent

Essential cookies (your session) are needed to play and are always set. Analytics cookies are optional.

In the EU, UK and EEA we ask for your opt-in consent before loading analytics, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time via the cookie banner. Advertising is provided by Adcash, which sets its own cookies when ads are shown; declining the banner does not stop those. To block them, use your browser's cookie settings or an ad blocker.

Who we share with

Sign-in providers — Discord and Google — when you choose to log in.

Google Analytics (usage measurement) and Google AdSense (advertising), each only with your consent; and Adcash (advertising), which serves ads and sets its own cookies when ads are shown.

Cloudflare, our hosting and edge provider. We do not sell your personal data.

Data retention

We keep your account and gameplay data while your account exists. Anonymous play data is kept to run streaks and stats.

You can delete your account at any time, which removes your associated personal data.

Your rights

Depending on your location (e.g. under GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data, and to withdraw consent.

To exercise these rights, delete your account in the profile card or email [email protected].

Children

paddockdle is not directed to children under the age required by your local law (e.g. 13, or 16 in parts of the EU). We do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected here with a new date. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.
