Privacy

Last updated: 13 November 2026. GammonKids is made for children, so we keep as little as we can. This page says exactly what that is.

Playing as a guest

You can play and learn without an account. We store nothing about a guest on our servers. Your stars and your colour theme are kept in your own browser, on your own device. A game in progress is held in our server's memory while you play and then forgotten.

If you make an account

A kid account

  • The username you choose. We ask children not to use a real name.
  • Your password, scrambled so that nobody, including us, can read it.
  • A grown-up's email address, only if you choose to add one.

A grown-up account

  • Your email address, and whether you are a parent, teacher or coach.
  • Your password, scrambled as above, or, if you use Google, the ID Google gives us for your account.

For every player in an account

  • The name you asked Pip to call them, the picture you picked, and the stars they have earned.

We also note the date an account was made and last used, and, if you arrived from an advert or a link with a campaign tag, the name of that campaign.

Signing in with Google

Google tells us your email address and an ID for your account. We do not ask for, or keep, your contacts, your profile picture or anything else. Google's own script runs only on our sign-up and log-in pages.

Emails we send

Only emails about your account: a link to confirm a grown-up's address, a link to set a new password when you ask for one, and a note to the grown-up when a child gives their address. They are delivered for us by an email company, Resend. We send no newsletters and no adverts.

What we never do

  • No adverts on the site.
  • No tracking or analytics from other companies.
  • No chat, no messages and no play against other people.
  • No selling or sharing of anything we store.
  • No location, contacts, photos or microphone.

Cookies and your device

Signing in sets one cookie that keeps you signed in. It is not used for anything else. Guests get no cookie. Your browser also remembers your colour theme and a guest's stars on your device.

To stop people guessing passwords we count sign-in attempts by internet address for up to an hour. That count is held in memory and is not saved.

Deleting an account

Open Who's playing? and choose “Delete this account”. The account, every player in it and all their stars are removed from our database straight away.

Where it is kept

Our server and database run in a DigitalOcean data centre in Bengaluru, India. Connections to the site are encrypted.

Parents

If your child has made an account, you can sign in with them to see and delete it as described above. More about how the site works is in our guide for grown-ups.
