Privacy Policy
AniGuesser collects as little as it can get away with: enough to know which scores are yours, and nothing else. There is no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels, and nothing is sold or shared with anyone.

What is stored about you
Three things, and no more.
- A random identifier
- Created the first time you visit. Your scores are attached to it.
- Your results
- Which puzzle, what you guessed, your score, and when you finished.
- Your Discord user ID
- Only if you sign in, and only so your scores can be found from another device.
That is the entire list. No name, no email address, no password, and no IP address is stored in the database.
What Discord gives us
Signing in requests one permission — identify — which returns your Discord user ID, username, display name and avatar. Your email address is never requested and never received.
Of that, only the user ID is written to the database. Your display name and avatar are kept in a cookie in your own browser so the site can show them in the header without looking anything up.
The access token Discord issues is used once, immediately, to read that profile, and is then discarded. It is never stored, never refreshed, and gives no ongoing access to your Discord account. Signing out here does not revoke the app — you can remove it at any time under Authorized Apps in your Discord settings.
Play Together rooms
Everything in a room is visible to everyone else in it, chat included — treat it as public.
A room stores the players seated in it, their chosen names, their scores for that round, and the room chat.
Room data lives only in that room and is deleted automatically once the room has been idle for 24 hours. It is not merged into your saved scores and is not kept afterwards.
Only the room code is stored outside the room itself, and only while the host has listed the room publicly.
Other services your browser talks to
One, and only when you press play.
Opening and ending clips are embedded from YouTube, using its privacy-enhanced domain. When you press play, your browser connects to YouTube directly and Google's own terms and privacy policy apply to that connection. Nothing about you is sent to them by this site.
Anime data comes from Shikimori, but it is requested by the server, not by your browser. Shikimori is never told anything about you.
The site runs on Cloudflare, which processes requests and keeps short-lived operational logs, as any web host does.
Deleting your data
You can delete everything yourself, from your profile page, under "Delete my data". It removes your scores, your saved progress and the link to your Discord account immediately, and signs you out. It cannot be undone.
Clearing your browser cookies without doing that leaves the old scores in the database, unreachable but present — so use the button if you want them gone.
Any other question about your data: jessadad99@gmail.com.
Changes
If what is collected ever changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves.
