the game in brief.
Color Guesser (playcolorguesser.com) is a free online color guessing game: a character, a logo or a flag shows up without its color, and you have 20 seconds to guess the exact shade in one big color square. It's a personal, non-commercial project run from France: no ads, no purchases, and your data is never sold. Color Guesser is not related to colorguesser.com, a different color game.

- your email address
- your nickname and avatar
- your game stats: best score, games, trophies, streak
- your browser language and device type (phone or computer)
- an approximate location (country, region, city, time zone), inferred from the network by our host
- the date your account was created, your last sign-in and the game screen you signed up from
Your IP address is never stored. With Google, we receive your name, email and profile photo: we keep the email, we don't keep the photo, and your first name is only used as a starting nickname if you haven't picked one yet (you can change it in your profile). The password of an email account is stored in an irreversible encrypted form, never in plain text.

Two Google services are used: Google Fonts, for the site's font, and Google's sign-in module, for the “continue with Google” button.

If you turn on the bell, your browser gives us a technical notification address, with no identity attached, which we keep along with your language. You can turn it off at any time in your browser settings: the address is then deleted from our servers at the next send.
