Whenly Privacy Policy

Effective date: 27 July 2026 Whenly ("the app") is a daily history trivia game operated by Jack French ("we"). This policy describes what the app collects and why.

What we collect

Anonymous account identifier. When you first open the app, our backend (Supabase) creates a random anonymous ID so your progress and scores can be saved. It is not linked to your name, email, or any real-world identity unless you later choose to create a full account.
Gameplay data. Your answers, scores, streaks, and daily results, so the game works and leaderboards can rank scores.
Display name (optional). If you set one for leaderboards or live rooms, other players can see it. Don't use your real name if you don't want it shown.

What we do NOT collect

No advertising identifiers, no ad networks, no tracking across apps.
No precise location.
No contacts, photos, or files.

Where data lives

Game content and your recent questions are cached on your device (local database). Account and score data are stored with our backend provider, Supabase, in their hosted infrastructure.

Data deletion

You can delete your account and its data from within the app: tap Privacy & data on the home screen and confirm. This permanently removes your scores, streaks, museum cards, and leaderboard entries from your device and our servers. You can also email jack@wellprompted.ai with a deletion request. Deleting the app alone removes the on-device cache but not server-side scores tied to your anonymous ID.

Children

Whenly is a general-audiences trivia game and does not knowingly collect personal information beyond what is described above.

Changes

We'll post any changes to this policy at this URL with an updated effective date.

_Published at when-ly.com/privacy (Vercel). The in-app deletion path this policy describes is the "Privacy & data" control on the home screen, backed by the delete-account Edge Function — verified against production on 2026-07-27: profile, runs, and museum cards all cascade._
