Machine Charades is a daily word game published by TechTush Games. You are shown a word and write a clue; a language model then tries to guess the word from your clue. This policy explains exactly what the app collects, why, and who it is shared with.
The app does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, date of birth, or photo, and it has no sign-up or login screen. When you first open the app it creates an anonymous identity through Firebase Authentication. This produces a random identifier that lets our server tell one player from another so that scores and daily play limits work. It is not linked to your Google account, your email, or any other identity, and it cannot be used to contact you.
The app does not collect your location, contacts, calendar, photos, microphone or camera input, installed-app list, or device advertising identifier.
Clues are sent over an encrypted connection to our game server, which runs on Cloudflare Workers. The server forwards your clue text to Google's Gemini API so the model can produce a guess. Google processes that text under its own terms as an API provider. Please do not type personal or sensitive information into the clue field — a clue only ever needs to be a hint about the day's word.
If the app offers optional in-app purchases, payment is handled entirely by Google Play Billing, and purchase status is managed on our behalf by RevenueCat. We never see or store your card number, billing address, or any other payment details. RevenueCat receives an anonymous purchase identifier so the app knows what you have bought.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
Gameplay records are kept only as long as they are needed to run the game's scores and daily limits. Because the app has no account system, the simplest way to remove your data is to uninstall the app — the anonymous identity is not recoverable afterwards, and the associated records expire. If you would like your data deleted sooner, email the address below and we will remove any records tied to your identifier.
Machine Charades is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with data, contact us and we will delete it.
All traffic between the app and our server uses HTTPS. Server-side secrets are stored as encrypted environment secrets and are never shipped inside the app.
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of this page will be updated and the new version will be published here before the change takes effect.
