PingoMe Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 9, 2026

PingoMe is a People-Bingo party game at pingome.lovable.app, operated by Stellarus Intelligence, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation ("Stellarus," "we," or "us"). This policy explains what information PingoMe collects, why, who can see it, and how long we keep it.

The short version: PingoMe collects almost nothing. There are no accounts, no passwords, no payments, no ads, and no tracking. We store the game details a host types in and the first names and answers guests type in, we keep them just long enough to play the game, and then we delete them automatically.

1. Who we are

PingoMe is made and operated by Stellarus Intelligence, Inc. The only way to reach us about PingoMe — including for privacy requests — is the contact form. We do not publish a personal email address, and we won't ask you to email one.

2. What we collect

We collect only what you type into the app.

From game hosts (organizers). When you create a game, we store:

• the game name you choose;
• the questions for your game (a starter set you can edit, plus any you add);
• the filler prompts used to complete bingo cards;
• a secret organizer code generated for your game; and
• the time the game was created.

From guests. When you join a game through its link, we store:

• the first name or nickname you enter; and
• your free-text answers to the game's questions.

That's the entire game record. We do not ask guests or hosts for an email address, phone number, or anything else.

From the contact form. If you use the contact form, we collect the topic you select (help with a game, a privacy request, a copyright concern (DMCA), or something else), your message, and — only if you choose to provide them — your name and an email address so we can reply. Contact submissions are stored in our database, reviewed by Stellarus, and retained as needed to handle your request.

Error reports. If the app hits a technical error in your browser, an automatic error report (technical details about what went wrong) is sent to Lovable, the platform that builds and hosts PingoMe, so problems can be diagnosed and fixed. These reports are about the app's behavior, not about you, but we disclose them because they originate from your device.

3. What we deliberately do NOT collect

In the current version of PingoMe there are:

• no user accounts or sign-ins — no passwords, no login of any kind;
• no payments — the service is free, and we collect no payment or financial information;
• no email or phone collection in the game itself — the only place you can give us an email address is the optional field on the contact form;
• no analytics, no advertising, no tracking cookies, and no third-party trackers in the app;
• no precise location data and no device fingerprinting.

We built it this way on purpose, and if that changes in a future version, we will update this policy first.

4. A note about free-text answers

Guest names and answers are free text. That means you could type personal information into an answer — a phone number, an address, a health detail — even though nothing asks you to. Please don't. Answers are meant to be fun facts, and they will appear on other guests' printed bingo cards (see Section 6). Only write things you're comfortable with everyone at the party seeing. Hosts: this is worth mentioning to your group, especially with kids in the room.

5. What we store in your browser (our cookie policy)

PingoMe does not use tracking cookies. It stores exactly two items in your browser's localStorage, both purely functional:

These items never leave your device except to authorize the actions they exist for, they are not used to track you across sites or sessions, and you can clear them at any time through your browser settings. There are no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, and no third-party cookies. This section serves as PingoMe's cookie policy.

6. Who can see what

PingoMe games are unlisted, not public. Here is the access model, plainly:

• The game link. Every game gets a random, unguessable code. Games aren't listed anywhere or searchable; the only way to reach one is with its link. Anyone who has the link can view the game's questions and join as a guest. Hosts, share the link the way you'd share a party invitation — only with people you want in the game.
• The organizer code. Viewing guests' answers, removing a guest, editing filler prompts, and generating or printing bingo cards all require the game's secret organizer code. It is displayed once when the game is created (with a save-this warning), kept in that browser's localStorage, and can be entered on the admin page from any device. Without the code, someone holding the link can see the questions but not anyone's answers.
• Sharing within the game is the point. People Bingo works by turning each guest's answers into squares on other guests' printed cards. By submitting answers, you're sharing them with the other people in that game — that's the game.
• Lost organizer codes cannot be recovered in the current version. If the code is lost, management access to that game is lost too (the game still auto-deletes on schedule — see Section 8).

7. Service providers (processors)

We don't sell personal information, and we don't share it with anyone for advertising. The app runs on two service providers, which process data on our behalf to operate PingoMe:

• Lovable (lovable.dev) — builds and hosts the app, and receives the client-side error reports described in Section 2.
• Supabase, via Lovable Cloud — hosts the database where game and guest data is stored.

Your data is stored on secure servers operated by our infrastructure providers, Lovable and Supabase. If those servers are located in a different country than the one you use PingoMe from, your information will be transferred there.

8. How long we keep your data

• Automatic deletion: every game — including all of its guest names and answers — is automatically deleted shortly after 60 days from the game's creation. (Cleanup runs on system activity, so deletion happens promptly after the 60-day mark rather than at the exact minute.) There is nothing you need to do; it just goes away.
• Earlier deletion on request: there is no self-service delete button in the current version, but we will delete a game, or a single guest's submission, earlier on request. Use the contact form and choose "Privacy request (view or delete my data)." Deletion is performed manually by us, and we may ask for the game link (and, for game-wide requests, the organizer code) to verify the request.
• Contact-form submissions are retained as needed to handle your request, then deleted.

9. Children's privacy

PingoMe is for people ages 13 and up. Children under 13 must not use the Service directly. At kids' parties and in classrooms — uses we're happy PingoMe gets — a parent, guardian, or the game host should enter answers on a child's behalf. Our full Children & Age Policy explains this in detail, including guidance for kids' parties and classrooms.

Independently of that rule, we designed PingoMe to be conscious of children's-privacy law (including COPPA) because children will realistically be present at the events it's used for:

• we collect no accounts, emails, or contact information in the game;
• guests provide only a first name or nickname and game answers;
• there is no advertising and no tracking;
• everything auto-deletes shortly after 60 days; and
• a parent or guardian may request earlier removal of a child's information at any time via the contact form, and we will honor it.

If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information to PingoMe directly, please tell us through the contact form and we will delete it.

10. Your choices and rights

• You choose what to type. A first name or nickname is all a guest needs; answers can be as bland as you like.
• Access and correction. Answers can't be edited after submission in the current version. To correct yours, either (a) ask the host to remove your entry and re-join from a different browser or device (the browser you joined from remembers you already joined and will block a second submission), or (b) send us the correction through the contact form and we'll handle it manually.
• Deletion. Any guest can request removal of their own submission, and any organizer can request deletion of their whole game, at any time — see Section 8.
• Local storage. Clear the two localStorage items whenever you like through your browser settings (note: clearing pingome:code:{gameId} from the only browser that holds it means the organizer code is gone unless you saved it elsewhere).
• Legal rights. Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Because we hold so little data and delete it automatically, most requests are simple — submit them through the contact form and we'll respond. We may take reasonable steps to verify a request before acting on it.

11. Security

The database that stores game and guest data is locked down: it cannot be read or dumped directly with the app's public credentials, and every data access goes through restricted functions scoped to a single game. Guest answers are gated behind the game's organizer code, which the app never re-exposes after creation. Input on the join flow is validated. No system is perfectly secure, but PingoMe's best defense is structural: it holds very little, guards what it holds, and deletes it on a short clock.

12. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll post the updated version at this page and update the "Last updated" date. If a future version of PingoMe collects meaningfully more than described here (for example, if optional accounts launch), we will update this policy before those features go live. Continued use of PingoMe after an update means the new policy applies.

13. Contact

For privacy questions or requests — access, correction, deletion, children's-privacy concerns, or anything else in this policy — use the contact form and select the appropriate topic. That form is the contact method for all PingoMe matters.

This policy is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, consistent with the PingoMe Terms of Use.
