Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

While you are only reading: nothing you provide. Your browser is measured anonymously by Google Analytics (see section 6).

The first time you save a favourite, make a pick, or finish a game, the Service creates a guest account: an anonymous account identifier (UID) held by Firebase Authentication, a randomly generated nickname (for example, red_desk_374), and the time it was created. No email address or name is involved. A guest account exists only in the browser that created it — clearing your site data ends it.

When you connect a Google account: your account identifier (UID), email address, and profile photo URL are stored by Firebase Authentication. Where possible the identifier stays the same, so what you saved as a guest carries over. Your real Google name is never shown on the site — comments and profiles display only the nickname.

When you use the Service: comments you write (text, nickname, UID, and timestamp), likes, favorites (artists, music videos, football teams and players), music-video picks, suggestions, and reports. Suggestions and reports are readable only by the operator and are never published.

If you share a finished game: the moves of that game, its result, and your nickname are saved as a replay. Anyone who has the link can watch it and continue from it. Your account identifier (UID) is stored separately and is never shown with the replay. There is no button to delete a shared replay — to remove one, email the address in section 8.

Game records: every game you finish (its moves, score, and the time it ended) is kept as your record. As a guest it stays only on this device (the latest 20 games). Once you connect a Google account it is saved to your account — the latest 50 games per game — and anything on the device moves to your account. Only you can see your records. A record becomes public only if you share it, which creates a replay as described above.

If you turn on new MV alerts: a push token (a device address issued by Firebase Cloud Messaging), the language you were viewing, and whether you use the installed app, stored together with your account identifier (UID). The time you last opened the notification panel is kept only in your browser, not on our servers. The same push token also records which alerts you turned on — new MV alerts and the daily Tebak MV reminder are switched on and off separately.

Tebak MV: the day's questions, your progress, and which bonus questions you received are kept only in your browser on this device — nothing is sent to our servers, even if you are signed in.

2. Why we use it

To let you sign in, write and read comments, and keep your likes and favorites.

To review suggestions and reports, and to moderate abusive content.

To understand aggregate traffic so the Service can be improved.

If you turned alerts on, to tell you when a new music-video analysis features an artist you saved as a favorite.

If you turned on the Tebak MV reminder, to tell you once a day (12:00 WIB) that new questions are ready.

3. Processors and international transfers

The Service does not sell or share your data with third parties for their own purposes. It does rely on the following providers, which process data on our behalf: Google (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Hosting, Cloud Functions, Firebase Cloud Messaging) and Google Analytics.

These providers operate servers outside your country, so your data may be stored and processed abroad. Using the Service means accepting this transfer.

4. Retention and deletion

Comments are soft-deleted: when you delete a comment it stops being readable by anyone, including through our APIs, but the record is retained for a period so that abuse reports can be investigated. It is not erased the instant you press delete.

Account data is kept while your account exists. To have your account and associated data deleted, email the address in section 8 and we will process the request.

Push tokens are deleted when you turn all alerts off, or when they stop working because you removed the app or revoked permission.

5. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time using the contact address below. You may also stop using the Service at any time.

6. Cookies and analytics

The Service uses Google Analytics 4 to count page views and understand which pages are useful. It records device, browser, and page information along with an identifier stored in your browser. Sign-in itself also stores a session in your browser so you stay signed in.

When you use the search tab, the words you type are also sent to Google Analytics, together with how many results they returned. We use this to find out which artists and music videos people look for but cannot find yet. Please do not type personal information into the search box.

7. YouTube embeds

Music videos are played through the embedded YouTube player. When you start a video, YouTube and Google may collect data independently of this Service, under their own terms.

By using the Service you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms). Google’s Privacy Policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

8. Children and contact

The Service is not directed at children under 14. If we learn that such an account exists, it will be removed.

If this policy changes materially, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date before it takes effect.
