SCENEIGMA

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 October 2026

1. Who we are

SCENEIGMA (“the game”, “we”, “us”) is a daily film guessing game run by Sceneigma. You can contact us at sceneigma@gmail.com. We decide how your personal data is used, which makes us the “controller” of it.

2. What we collect

If you play without signing in: nothing about you is sent to us. Your progress (results, streak, top score and settings) is saved only in your own browser.

If you sign in, we store:

your email address, to send you a sign-in link and to identify your account;
your saved progress: daily results, scores, streak, history of puzzles and the genres of films you played;
your daily total score, which is used to work out how you rank against other players.

If you use friend groups, we also store the name you choose to show on leaderboards, the groups you create or join, and your membership of them. Other members of a group can see your chosen name and your daily scores. Please don’t use your real full name if you’d rather not share it.

Technical data: like any website, the services that deliver the game (see section 4) process your IP address and basic request details in order to send you the pages and data you ask for.

We don’t use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and we don’t sell your data.

2a. Storage in your browser

The game saves information in your browser’s local storage so it can remember your progress, and, if you sign in, your sign-in session. This is necessary for the game to work. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings.

3. Why we use your data

To run the game and your account (providing the service you asked for).
To keep the service secure and prevent misuse (our legitimate interests).
To send the sign-in emails you request. We don’t send marketing emails.

4. Who we share data with

We use these services to run the game. They process data on our behalf:

Supabase: stores accounts and saved data, and sends sign-in emails.
Netlify: hosts the website.
Cloudflare: runs a small service that fetches film information. It sees the technical details of your request.
The Movie Database (TMDB): provides film information and images. TMDB receives film lookup requests from our service, not your account details.

Some of these providers may process data outside the UK or EU. Where they do, they should use appropriate safeguards. Our database is hosted in West EU (Ireland).

5. How long we keep it

We keep your account data until you delete your account. Data saved only in your browser stays until you clear it.

6. Your rights and deleting your account

You can ask to see your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how it’s used, or receive a copy of it.

To delete your account yourself: open the game, sign in, press your name at the top, then press Delete my account. This permanently removes your sign-in, saved progress, scores and group memberships, and clears saved progress on that device.

You can also email sceneigma@gmail.com for any request. If you’re in the UK and aren’t happy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

7. Children

The game isn’t aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has signed up, contact us and we’ll remove the account.

8. Credits

This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Film titles, images, posters and quotes belong to their respective owners.

9. Changes

If we change this policy we’ll update the date at the top. Please check back occasionally.
