Beatably Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 8, 2026

Beatably is a multiplayer music timeline game. We designed it to collect as little information as possible. This policy explains what data the Beatably app and website handle, and why.

What we collect

• Display name: the nickname you type when creating or joining a game. It does not need to be your real name and is used only to identify you to other players during a game.
• Game and session identifiers: room codes and a session ID used to connect you to the right game and to let you rejoin if your connection drops. The session ID is stored on your device.
• Gameplay and usage data: basic information about how games are played — such as the number of players, the difficulty setting, rounds played, and results — used to understand how the game is used and to improve it.
• Diagnostic data: error and event logs (for example, a connection or playback error, along with the game/session it occurred in) used to find and fix problems.

We do not collect your email, phone number, location, contacts, or any real-world identity, and we do not require you to create an account. None of the information above is linked to your real-world identity or used to track you across other apps or websites.

How we use it

The information above is used to run multiplayer games (matching players into rooms, keeping game state in sync, and reconnecting you after a dropped connection), to understand how the game is played so we can improve it, and to diagnose and fix problems. Your display name and game data are sent to the Beatably game server for these purposes.

What we do not do

• We do not track you across other apps or websites.
• We do not use advertising, and we do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs (any analytics are our own, first-party).
• We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.

Data retention

Live game state is temporary and is discarded after a game ends. The session ID stored on your device is removed when you leave a game or can be cleared by deleting the app. Gameplay, usage, and diagnostic logs are retained only as long as needed to operate and improve the game, and are not linked to your identity.

Children

Beatably is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
