Privacy policy
The Kurnazo game, the kurnazo.com website and the Kurnazo app. Version of 7 October 2026.
In short
You don't need an account, phone number or e-mail to play. We use no cookies, ads or analytics trackers and we don't sell data. Everything we process, why and for how long is listed below.
Who is responsible
The site is operated by a private individual who owns the kurnazo.com domain. Contact for any data question: privacy@kurnazo.com.
What data is processed
| Data | Why | Where and for how long |
|---|---|---|
| The name you enter | So players see who is at the table | On the server while the room exists (up to 2 hours after everyone leaves) and in your browser. If you play a full rated game, your name is shown publicly on the leaderboard with your rating and kept until you ask us to delete it. |
| A random player key | Rejoining after a disconnect, the rating | The key itself stays only in your browser. The server keeps an irreversible salted hash of it together with your rating and number of games. |
| Chat messages and game log | Talking in the room | In server memory while the room exists. Spectators can see the room's public chat. |
| Reports | Protecting players from abuse and spam | When someone is reported we store the names of those involved, hashes of their keys, the report text and up to 20 of the reported player's latest messages. Kept for 90 days, then deleted automatically. |
| Voice (if your mic is on) | Voice chat | Sent directly between devices via WebRTC, or through our TURN relay when a direct connection isn't possible. Never recorded or stored. |
| IP address | Abuse protection: limits on room creation, code guessing and reports | In server memory for no more than an hour, and for a limited time in technical web server logs, which are rotated and overwritten automatically. |
| Settings and cache | Convenience and faster loading | Only in your browser: language, sounds, home-page video, music link, cached game images. |
The “Share” image
The result image is built by your browser. It is never sent to our server; you decide where to share it.
Where the server is
The game server is located in Russia (Saint Petersburg, hosting provider Beget). By joining a game you agree that the data listed above is processed there. We plan to move the server to the European Union and will update this page when we do.
Legal basis
We process data because it is necessary to provide the game to you (room, chat, voice, rating) and in our legitimate interest in protecting players from abuse (limits, reports).
Your rights
You can ask what data about you we hold, have it corrected or deleted, including your leaderboard entry. Write to privacy@kurnazo.com with your in-game name. We reply within 30 days. You may also complain to the data protection authority in your country.
App permissions
Microphone — only for voice chat and only after you tap the microphone button. You can turn it off at any time.
Internet — the game is played online.
Third-party services
If you paste a YouTube link into the “Music” field yourself, the video loads through the official YouTube player and Google's terms apply. There are no other third-party services on the site.
Children
The game is suitable for all ages. Rooms have chat and voice with other players, so we recommend that children under 13 play with a parent or only with people they know via a room code. We do not knowingly collect data about children; if you believe a child has left data, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes
When this policy changes we will update the date at the top of the page.
