Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Caught Looking LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit and play Caught Looking, our free daily baseball trivia game available at PlayCaughtLooking.com (the "Services").
We've tried to keep this policy plain and honest. Caught Looking is a free game with a simple data footprint: we don't sell your information, we don't run targeted advertising, and we don't require you to create an account to play. If you don't agree with this policy, please don't use the Services.
The short version:
You can play the daily game without giving us any personal information at all. If you choose to join our email list, we collect your email address to send you updates. Our website automatically collects basic technical information (like IP address and browser type) to keep the game running and understand usage, and we use cookies and your browser's local storage to remember your daily play. We don't sell your data or use it for targeted advertising.
1. What Information We Collect
In short: You can play without giving us personal information. We collect your email only if you choose to sign up, plus some basic technical data automatically.
Information you choose to give us
The only personal information we collect directly from you is your email address, and only if you voluntarily sign up for our email newsletter or updates. Our email signup is handled by Beehiiv, our email service provider. You are never required to provide your email to play the daily game.
If you contact us directly (for example, by emailing us), we will receive whatever information you choose to include in that message, such as your name and email address.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, when you visit Caught Looking our hosting and analytics tools automatically collect certain technical information that does not, on its own, identify you personally. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, general location (such as country or region), and information about how and when you use the Services. This information helps us keep the game secure and running, fix problems, and understand how players use the game.
Information stored on your device
Caught Looking uses cookies and your browser's local storage to remember your daily gameplay — for example, which day's puzzle you've played and your results — so the game works correctly. See the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section below, and our Cookie Policy, for more detail.
Sensitive information. We do not collect or process sensitive personal information such as racial or ethnic origin, health information, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.
2. How We Use Your Information
In short: We use information to run the game, send updates you signed up for, keep things secure, and improve the experience.
We use the information we collect to:
- operate, maintain, and provide the daily game;
- send you newsletter emails and updates, if you have signed up for them;
- understand how players use the Services so we can improve the game and our question content;
- maintain the security and integrity of the Services and prevent abuse, fraud, or automated cheating;
- respond to your questions or requests; and
- comply with applicable legal obligations.
3. When and With Whom We Share Information
In short: We do not sell your information. We share it only with the service providers that help us run the game, or when required by law.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising.
We share information only in these limited situations:
- Service providers. We use trusted third-party companies to operate the Services. These include Beehiiv (email newsletter delivery), Netlify (website hosting), and Wix (domain management). These providers only access the information needed to perform their services for us, and are expected to protect it.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or in response to valid requests by public authorities, or to protect our legal rights, safety, or the safety of others.
- Business transfers. If Caught Looking LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would notify you of any such change and any choices you may have.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
In short: We use cookies and local storage to make the game work and to understand usage — not to advertise to you.
We use cookies and similar technologies (including your browser's local storage) for two main purposes: to make the game function correctly — such as remembering your daily play so you don't replay the same puzzle — and to gather basic analytics about how the Services are used. We do not use these technologies for targeted advertising.
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; however, some parts of the game may not function properly if you disable them. For more detail, please see our Cookie Policy.
5. How Long We Keep Your Information
In short: Only as long as we need it.
We keep your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, after which we will remove you from our active mailing list. Automatically collected technical and analytics data is retained only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Information stored in your browser's local storage stays on your own device and can be cleared by you at any time through your browser settings.
6. Information From Minors
In short: The game is intended for users 13 and older.
The Services are intended for users who are at least 13 years of age, consistent with our Terms of Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. In accordance with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), if we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as is reasonably practicable. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at playcaughtlooking@gmail.com.
7. Your Privacy Rights
In short: You can access, correct, or delete your information, and unsubscribe at any time.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws to access the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to request its deletion, or to withdraw consent to its processing. Because the only personal information we collect directly is your email address, exercising these rights is usually straightforward:
- To unsubscribe from our emails, click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any newsletter, or contact us.
- To access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, contact us using the details below and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
8. Do-Not-Track Signals
Most web browsers offer a "Do-Not-Track" (DNT) setting. Because there is not yet a uniform standard for how to interpret DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. If a standard is adopted in the future, we will update this policy accordingly.
9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will provide a more prominent notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
