Privacy Policy
Effective date: 15 November 2026
Who we are and what this policy covers
RiddlGames is run by Tom RiddlGames Private Limited ("RiddlGames", "we", "us"), based in India. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit riddlgames.com or play our games, how we use it, and the choices you have.
It covers riddlgames.com and every game on its subdomains, including BollyRiddl (bollyriddl.riddlgames.com), BollyChain (bollychain.riddlgames.com) and any game we launch later.
You can play our daily games without creating an account. Logging in is optional and only needed for features like saving your streak across devices, Unlimited mode, Compete rooms and setting a movie for friends.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Google sign-in: if you choose to log in, Google shares your name, email address, profile picture and a Google account ID with us. We never see your Google password.
- Contact and feedback forms: your name, email address and message.
- Games you create: rooms and custom games you set up for friends, and the results of the people who play them.
Gameplay information
- Your guesses, results, number of attempts, lifelines or hints used, time between guesses, games replayed or shared, and your streaks and stats.
- If you are not logged in, this stays in your browser's storage. If you are logged in, it is also saved on our servers and linked to your account.
Device and usage information
- Your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, the site that referred you, and your approximate location based on your IP address.
- Our servers, analytics providers and advertising partners collect this automatically when you visit.
What we don't collect
- We don't collect payment details. If you support us through Buy Me a Coffee, they process the payment under their own privacy policy.
How we use information
We use the information above to:
- Run our games and remember your progress, settings and streaks.
- Sync your stats across devices when you log in.
- Run multiplayer rooms, leaderboards and games you share with friends.
- Reply to messages you send us.
- Understand how people play, fix bugs and improve our games.
- Show ads that keep our games free.
- Prevent fraud, cheating and abuse, and keep our services secure.
- Meet our legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners use cookies, browser storage and similar technologies. They fall into four groups:
| Type | What it does | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Saves your game progress, streaks and settings in your browser, and keeps you logged in | Only by clearing your browser data, which resets anonymous stats |
| Analytics | Tells us how many people play and which features they use | Yes |
| Advertising | Lets our ad partners show, limit and measure ads, including personalized ads | Yes |
| Consent | Remembers the cookie choices you made | No |
In some regions, including the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, you will see a consent banner. Non-essential cookies load only after you agree, and you can change your choice at any time from the banner's privacy settings link.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, the daily game still works, but your anonymous streak and stats will reset.
Advertising
We show ads to keep our games free. These ads are served by third-party ad networks, not by us.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Ad partners may also collect your IP address, device information and the pages you view to measure ads and prevent fraud.
How to opt out of personalized ads
- Opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices. In Europe, you can also use Your Online Choices.
- If you opt out, you will still see ads. They just won't be based on your interests.

Sharing, storage, retention and security
Who we share information with
- The service providers and ad and analytics partners listed above, for the purposes described.
- Other players, only for what you choose to share: your name and results in Compete rooms and games you set for friends.
- Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect our users and services.
- A buyer or successor, if RiddlGames is ever sold or merged. This policy would continue to apply to your information.
Where it is stored
Our main servers are in Mumbai, India. Some of our providers process information in other countries, under their own safeguards.
How long we keep it
- Account and stats data: for as long as your account is active. We delete it within 30 days of a deletion request.
- Contact and feedback messages: only as long as we need to respond.
- Anonymous gameplay data: may be kept to improve our games, since it no longer identifies you.
Security
Our sites use HTTPS, and access to our servers and database is restricted to the people who run RiddlGames. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Your choices and rights
- Play without an account. Our daily games never require you to log in.
- See, correct or delete your data. Email us and we will respond within 30 days. Deleting your account removes your saved stats and streak.

If you are in India, you have rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, including the right to have a grievance addressed. If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, you also have rights under the GDPR, including the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Our games are meant for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian before logging in. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy when our games or partners change. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed. For significant changes, we will post a notice on our sites.
