Privacy

REVVED is a daily guessing game. It stores what it needs to run the game — your rounds, your scores and your streak — and an email address only if you choose to create a profile. It does not sell personal information, and it has never sold personal information.

You can play without an account. If you want anything deleted, email playrevved@gmail.com.

The first time you play, REVVED gives your browser a random identifier and stores it in a cookie. It is not linked to your name or your email, and it exists so that returning to the site finds your round where you left it and keeps your streak counting.

That identifier is the whole of it. There is no profile behind a guest round beyond the rounds themselves.

A profile is an email address and a display name. Signing in sends a one-time code to that address; the code is stored hashed, with a short expiry and the IP address the request came from, so that codes cannot be replayed or guessed at scale. There is no password to store.

Your display name appears on public leaderboards. Guest scores are kept and become visible under your name once you sign in, which is how a round you played before creating a profile is not lost.

• Rounds and guesses

  Which challenge, which cars you guessed and in what order, which clues you took, how long the round ran, and the score. This is the game; without it there is no result screen, no leaderboard and no streak.

• Scores and streaks

  Totals, best score, current and best streak, and your place on a day’s leaderboard. Kept so the numbers are the same next time you look.

• Profile

  Email address, display name, and the date the address was verified. Only if you created a profile.

• Your cockpit

  The trim, stitching, lighting and instrument choices you make in the Garage, plus your light or dark preference.

• Sign-in codes

  One-time codes, stored hashed, with an expiry and the requesting IP address. Used to rate-limit sign-in attempts and to spot abuse.

• Last seen

  A timestamp updated when a request resolves your identity, so inactive records can be told from active ones.

REVVED sets four cookies and uses one key in your browser’s local storage.

• reveal_player

  Your anonymous player identifier. Read only by the server, and the reason your round and streak survive closing the tab.

• revved_theme

  Light or dark. Stored in a cookie rather than local storage so the first paint is already the right colour.

• revved_cockpit

  Your Garage build, for the same reason — so the page never renders the factory one first.

• reveal_admin

  Only ever set for the operator, on the admin portal. Never set for a player.

• Local storage

  One key recording the date you last dismissed the sign-in prompt, so it is not shown to you twice in a day.

None of these are advertising cookies. REVVED runs no advertising and contacts no ad network.

REVVED uses Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without identifying individual visitors.

Where a Google Analytics measurement ID is configured, REVVED also loads Google Analytics 4 to understand where visitors arrive from. Gameplay events sent to analytics carry event names and small numbers only — the challenge number, how many guesses, how many clues. They deliberately carry no player identifier, no session identifier and no email address. The admin portal is excluded from analytics entirely.

REVVED runs on other people’s infrastructure. These are all of them:

• Vercel

  Hosting, and the cookieless page-view analytics described above.

• Neon

  The PostgreSQL database holding everything listed on this page.

• Cloudflare R2

  Object storage for the audio clips you hear.

• Fly.io

  Runs the process that renders uploaded audio into game clips.

• Resend

  Sends the one-time sign-in code to your email address. Used only for that.

• Google Analytics 4

  Acquisition analytics, and only when a measurement ID is configured.

A result screen may embed the original source video from YouTube or TikTok so you can hear the full clip. Those embeds load from the provider and are subject to the provider’s own privacy policy. Nothing loads from them until a round is over.

It does not sell personal information. It does not share your data with advertisers. It does not run advertising. It does not track you across other websites. It does not ask for a password, so there is no password of yours to lose.

Email playrevved@gmail.com from the address on your profile, or tell us the display name you play under, and we will delete your profile and your gameplay history.

There is no self-service delete button yet. Until there is, that address is the way, and a request to it is handled by a person rather than a form.

Clearing your browser’s cookies removes the guest identifier from your device. Doing that does not delete rounds already recorded, and it will end a guest streak, because the identifier is what the streak is attached to.

Privacy questions, data requests, deletion requests, and reports of a challenge with the wrong car data all go to playrevved@gmail.com.
