What we collect, what stays in your browser, and why.

Who we are

Carful Games (carfulgames.com) is operated by MetaProject R&D, LLC, 2261 Market Street STE 5524, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA (Tax ID 32-0749602). Questions or requests about your data: info@carfulgames.com.

The short version

Carful Games has no accounts and asks for no personal details to play. Game progress (bingo marks, your place in a question deck) is saved only in your own browser. We use analytics to count visits and see which games get played. If you buy the Road Trip Pack, we receive your email address from the checkout so we can send you your code. Ads and Amazon affiliate links may come later, and this page will say so before they do.

What we collect, and why

Analytics. We use PostHog and Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used. They record the pages you view, game events such as “started a question deck” or “changed a filter,” your browser and device type, the site that sent you here, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Outside the EU and UK, a random ID is stored in a cookie and in your browser’s local storage so repeat visits count as one visitor. In the EU and UK, until you give consent, PostHog runs without cookies or local storage, and Google Analytics sends only cookieless, anonymous pings. We never send names, email addresses or anything you type to these tools.

Nothing inside the games. Games don’t collect personal information. Bingo cards, marks, scores, player names and deck positions are stored in your browser’s local storage and never sent to us. Clearing your browser data removes them.

Buying the Road Trip Pack

Payment is handled by Stripe, which acts as the merchant of record for the sale. Stripe collects your payment details, email address and billing country, processes the payment and handles tax. We never see your card number. Stripe shares with us your email address, the amount, the currency and the time of purchase, so we can send you your supporter code and help you if something goes wrong.

We send that email through our email provider, Resend. If you ask to restore a lost code, we look up your purchase with Stripe by the email address you enter and email the code again.

Your supporter code is stored in your browser’s local storage, where it switches off ads and unlocks the pack maker. The pack itself is built on your device. The names, route and trip details you type into it never leave your browser.

Music clips

Name That Tune plays short song previews that stream directly from Apple Music. When a clip plays, your browser connects to Apple’s servers, which receive your IP address and device information under Apple’s privacy policy. We don’t host or store any audio. The Carful playlists on Spotify are on Spotify’s site and follow Spotify’s privacy policy.

Advertising (planned)

We plan to show ads through an ad network such as Journey by Mediavine. Ad networks use cookies and similar technology to show and measure ads, and may personalize them. Before ads go live we’ll update this page, name the network, and show a consent choice to visitors in regions that require one (including the EU and UK). Road Trip Pack buyers see no ads on devices where they entered their code.

Amazon Associates (planned)

We may link to products on Amazon, such as travel games and car organizers. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Pages with these links will say so above the first link. Amazon sets its own cookies when you click through.

Some pages mention apps made by the same team, such as Roadanza. Links to them carry tags that tell those apps you came from this site. Once you’re on their site or in the App Store, their privacy policies apply.

Children

This site is written for parents and other adults. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and the games collect no personal information from anyone. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email info@carfulgames.com and we will delete it.

Your choices and rights

How long we keep data

Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months so we can compare one summer season with the next. Purchase records are kept by Stripe and by us for as long as tax and accounting law requires. Emails we send through Resend are kept in its logs for a limited period.

Changes and contact

We’ll update this page when anything above changes and change the date at the top. Questions or requests: info@carfulgames.com, or by post to MetaProject R&D, LLC, 2261 Market Street STE 5524, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA.
