Privacy Policy

• There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no third-party marketing cookies. Nothing on this site profiles you.
• Your library is public by default. Your username, avatar, ratings, and reviews can be seen by anyone unless you change your visibility in Settings.
• We store your email address, your profile, and the games you track. We do not sell any of it.
• You can delete your account and everything in it at any time from Settings. It is immediate and permanent.

Account information, so you can sign in:

• Your email address and a hashed password, if you sign up with email. Passwords are hashed by our authentication provider and are never visible to us.
• Your Google or Discord account identifier, name, and avatar image URL, if you sign in with one of those. We never receive your password for those services.

Profile information, which appears on your public page:

• A username that you choose during signup — see Usernames below.
• An optional display name, avatar, and bio.
• Your library visibility setting and the date your account was created.

Library information, which is the point of the service:

• The games you add, and for each one: its status, your rating, whether you finished or platinumed it, the dates you started and finished, any review text you write, and any custom list name you choose.
• If you ask to have your library featured, the optional pitch you write and the status of that request.

QuestTally does not ask for your date of birth, phone number, address, or payment details, and it has no way to store them.

New accounts are set to public. You can change this at any time in Settings, which offers three options: public (anyone), link-only (anyone holding your private share link), and private (only you).

While your library is public, the following can be seen by anyone, including people who are not signed in:

• Your profile page, at questtally.com/u/your-username.
• Every game in your library, with your statuses, ratings, and dates. Written reviews on your shelf are visible there. On a public library they also appear on that game’s Community page unless you uncheck “Show this review on the game’s Community page.”
• Who follows you and who you follow (usernames and avatars). Following someone does not reveal a private library. Anyone can see how many hearts a public Community review has; who liked it is not listed.
• Recent activity on the QuestTally homepage and Community All tab — your username, avatar, the game, your rating, the first line of your review, and when you finished it. People you follow can also see when you wishlist, start, or finish a game, if your library is public.
• A preview card when a link to your profile is shared on services like Discord or Reddit.

Setting your library to link-only or private removes your games from all of the above. Be aware of one limit: your username, display name, avatar, bio, join date, and summary counts (how many games you have, how many you finished) remain visible to anyone who visits your profile URL directly, even when your library is private. If you do not want that information public, do not put it in your profile.

You always choose your own username. QuestTally never builds one from your email address, and never takes one from your Google or Discord account without asking. If you sign in with a provider that has a username, we may offer it as a suggestion, but it is only used if you confirm it.

Your username is public: it appears on your profile URL, in activity feeds, and in link previews. We recommend against using your real name.

There is currently no way to change your username from within the app. If you want it changed, email support@questtally.com and we will change it for you.

QuestTally sets only the cookies required to keep you signed in and to sign you out after a period of inactivity. There are no advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies, which is why you are not asked to accept anything.

Between them they hold your signed-in session and the time of your last request, which is what lets us sign you out after seven days of inactivity. None of them record what you look at, and none are readable by anyone else.

If you block these cookies, you will not be able to stay signed in. Browsing games and public libraries works without signing in at all.

QuestTally is a small, independently run service and depends on outside providers to operate. We disclose personal information to these categories of recipient, and to none other:

• A database and authentication provider, which stores your account, profile, and library, and sends the confirmation and password reset emails.
• Hosting and network providers, which serve the website and carry traffic to our API.
• Google and Discord, but only if you choose to sign in with one of them.

None of them are permitted to use your information for their own purposes, and we do not sell or rent it to anyone.

Separately, some images load into your browser directly from other services rather than through us, which means those services can see your IP address: game cover art from IGDB, which is where all game titles, art, and descriptions come from, and your profile avatar from Google or Discord if you signed in with one. We never send your account information to any of them.

Your IP address is used briefly to rate-limit game searches, which stops one visitor from overwhelming the service. It is held in memory only for the length of that limit and is never written to our database.

Our hosting and network providers keep their own access logs, which include IP addresses, as a normal part of running a website. That is outside our control and covered by their own privacy policies.

We send a confirmation message when you create an account, and a reset link when you ask for one. If we ever start sending anything else, every message will have a way to opt out.

You can edit or remove any game in your library, and change your visibility setting, at any time from within the app.

You can delete your account yourself from Settings or from your own profile page. Deletion is immediate and permanent: it removes your profile, your entire library with every rating and review, and any featured request you submitted. There is no recovery window and no archived copy.

For a copy of your data or a username change, email support@questtally.com from the address on your account and we will handle it by hand, normally within 30 days. We will not make you justify the request.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights over your personal data, including access, correction, deletion, portability, and the right to complain to a data protection authority. The same address handles all of them.

Your account and library are kept until you ask us to delete them. Anonymous search-performance records, which contain no account identifier, are discarded after 14 days.

QuestTally is operated from California. We do not sell or share your personal information, and we do not disclose it to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

Do Not Track: some browsers can send a Do Not Track signal. QuestTally does not track you across other websites in the first place, so there is nothing for the signal to turn off, and we do not respond to it differently.

No third party collects personal information about your activity across other websites through QuestTally.

QuestTally is not intended for children under 13, or under 16 where local law sets that threshold. We do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will remove it.

If this policy changes in a way that affects what we collect or who can see it, the date at the top of this page will change. Questions go to support@questtally.com.
