privacy policy

What personal data TAW Devs processes when you play Guessify or Idle AI Tycoon, why, and what you can do about it. Short version: we collect as little as we can.

Summary

AccountsNone. You never need to sign up or give us your name or email to play.
Selling dataNever. We don't sell or rent personal data to anyone.
What we keepOnly what a game needs to run, for as short a time as possible.

Who we are

TAW Devs is an independent game developer based in Finland. For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), TAW Devs is the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

Guessify guessify.pro

Guessify is a browser-based party game. A host opens a room on one screen and players join from their own phones using a room code. There are no accounts.

What we process

DataWhyHow long
Nickname you type inTo show your name to other players in the roomUntil the game room closes
Room code, guesses, scoresTo run the game and sync it between the host screen and phonesUntil the game room closes
Technical connection data (IP address, browser type, timestamps)To connect your device, keep the service secure and fix errorsServer logs are deleted within 30 days

Please don't use your full real name or any sensitive information as your nickname. Other players in the same room can see it.

Legal basis: processing is necessary to provide the game you asked to play (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)), and our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and working (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Idle AI Tycoon idle game

Idle AI Tycoon is a single-player idle game. Your progress (money, upgrades, compute, models) is a game save, not personal data about you.

What we process

  • Game save. Stored on your own device so your lab keeps going between sessions and earns offline progress. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes it.
  • Advertising (Google AdMob). The game offers optional rewarded video ads, for example to double your cash for 15 minutes. These are served by Google AdMob, which may collect your device's advertising ID, approximate location derived from your IP address, ad interactions and diagnostic data to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent through Google's consent form first, and you can change your choice anytime in Settings → Privacy → Ad consent choices. On iPhone, Apple asks whether the game may track you; ads still work if you decline. How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
  • Diagnostics. Google AdMob may collect crash and diagnostic data as described above. The game itself sends no crash reports.
  • Purchases, if offered. Any in-app purchases are processed by the app store you downloaded the game from (for example Apple App Store or Google Play). We never see or store your card details. We only receive confirmation that a purchase happened so we can unlock it.

Legal basis: providing the game (Art. 6(1)(b)), your consent for personalised ads where consent is required (Art. 6(1)(a)), and our legitimate interest in keeping the game stable and free of ad fraud (Art. 6(1)(f)).

This website

tawdevs.com uses no cookies, analytics or tracking. Fonts are hosted on our own domain, so opening the site doesn't contact Google or other font services. Our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, pages requested, time) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

Who we share with

We only share data with service providers who help us run the games, and only as much as they need:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers that run our servers and websites.
  • Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform (advertising and ad consent).
  • App stores (Apple, Google) for downloads and purchases, under their own privacy policies.
  • Authorities, only if the law requires it.

Some providers may process data outside the EU/EEA. When that happens we rely on an adequacy decision or safeguards approved under the GDPR, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

Children

Our games are made for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children. Guessify only asks for a nickname, and we recommend parents help younger players choose one that isn't their real name. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or receive a portable copy of your personal data, and object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Because we don't run accounts, we often hold nothing that can identify you. Email us and we'll check and reply within one month.

You can also complain to the Finnish Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman or another competent supervisory authority.

Changes

If a game starts collecting something new, for example through analytics or online features, we'll update this page before that change goes live and change the date at the top. See also our Terms of Service.
