Privacy

Last updated 10 November 2026

The short version: you can play with just a handle and a state. No real name or email is needed. We don't sell your data. Card details go to Stripe and never touch our servers.

What we collect

• Your handle and state, shown on leaderboards.
• A random player ID created when you first visit, stored in your browser so you keep your progress.
• Your answers and scores, including guesses that weren't accepted. We use these to rank answers, run leaderboards and improve our answer lists.
• Syndicates you create or join.
• Feedback: ratings, notes and prompt ideas you send. Please don't include personal details.
• If you sign in or subscribe: your email address, and from Stripe a payment reference and subscription status (not your card number).

What others can see

Your handle, state, score and rank appear on public and syndicate leaderboards. Your answers to today's prompts are never shown with your handle. The answer counts in “The spread” are totals across all players.

Cookies and analytics

We store your player ID and settings in your browser's local storage. We use Vercel Web Analytics to count visits and events like “round completed”. It doesn't use cookies or track you across other sites.

Who we share data with

Only the services that run Outlier: Supabase (database, in Australia or the nearest region), Vercel (hosting and analytics) and Stripe (payments). We don't sell or rent personal information.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your data while you play. To get a copy, correct it or delete it, email support@outlier.today with your handle. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
