PRIVACY POLICY

Who we are

Outbid Snake is operated by Aryan Kumar. For anything in this policy, including a request to access or delete your data, write to hiddenquizapp@gmail.com. We aim to reply within 2 business days.

What we collect

The board is a public leaderboard, so most of what we hold is meant to be seen. We collect four things and nothing else.

• What you submit for a listing. The destination URL or handle, a display name, an optional one-line description and a category. All of it is published on the board — that is the product. Tracking parameters (utm_*, ref, fbclid and similar) are stripped from your URL before it is stored.
• A record of your payment. The amount, the time, a reference supplied by the payment provider, and the email address you give at checkout if you give one. We use the email only to identify your purchase and to reach you about it.
• An anonymous visitor count. Your browser generates a random identifier and keeps it in local storage. It is a random number — it is not derived from you, your device or your address, and it is not shared with anyone. We use it to count how many browsers are on the site, which is the “online” figure you can see on the page.
• Aggregate click counts. When someone follows a link to a listing we increment a counter on that listing. We record the total, not who clicked.

What we never see

Card details never reach our servers. Payment is taken on our provider’s own checkout, and we receive only a confirmation and a reference. We cannot see your card number, and we could not charge it again if we wanted to.

Cookies

We do not set cookies. There is no advertising technology on this site, no analytics suite, no pixels and no cross-site tracking of any kind. The only thing we put in your browser is the single local-storage entry described above, under the key outbid.session. Clearing your site data removes it, and the site works normally without it.

Who else sees it

We do not sell data and we do not share it for advertising. We rely on these providers to run the service:

Dodo Payments

Merchant of record. Takes the payment, handles tax, holds the card details.

Neon

Hosted Postgres. Stores the listings, the bid ledger and the visitor counter.

Vercel

Application hosting and edge network. Processes request logs.

Listing icons are fetched through our own server rather than embedded from a third party, specifically so that your browser never contacts an icon provider and your IP address is never disclosed to one.

We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to establish or defend a legal claim.

How long we keep it

• Listings stay published until you ask us to remove them, or until we remove them under the Terms of Service.
• Payment records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires, which is typically several years.
• Visitor identifiers carry no personal data and are kept only to produce the counter.

Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have the right to access a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, object to how we use it, or take it elsewhere. Exercise any of these by writing to hiddenquizapp@gmail.com. We will not charge you or make the service worse for asking.

Removing a published listing removes it from the board. We keep the underlying payment record, because we are required to.

International transfers

Our providers operate internationally, so your information may be processed outside your country. Where that happens we rely on the safeguards those providers have in place.

Children

This service is not directed at children and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be announced on the board itself.
