Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

1. What we store

When you create an account we store your email address and a hashed password. You may optionally add a display name. Saved generators, word lists, and classroom resources you save to your library are stored on our servers. Live bingo rooms retain room and player data while a game is active.

2. Cookies and local storage

We use an httpOnly session cookie to keep you signed in. Your browser may also store game state (such as generated cards and word lists) in localStorage so your work is not lost between visits. We do not sell or share your personal information.

3. Advertising and Google AdSense cookies

TeachPlayo is funded by advertising. We use Google AdSense to serve ads on this site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. . You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
• Where required by law, we obtain consent for advertising cookies through our cookie banner before they are set.

For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google's Privacy & Terms - Partner Sites.

4. Third-party services

To provide certain features we rely on a few service providers:

• AI providers - the text you submit for generation (your topic, grade level, and difficulty settings) is sent to our AI provider to produce words, quizzes, and lesson plans. Depending on the provider configured for this site, that is OpenAI, Requesty (an OpenAI-compatible gateway that may route to a third-party model provider), or NVIDIA Build.
• Upstash Redis - used for rate limiting and live bingo realtime state when configured.
• PostgreSQL hosting (e.g. Neon/Vercel Postgres) - stores account and library data.
• Resend (optional) - used to send password-reset emails.
• Google AdSense - serves advertising on the site (see section 3 above).
• Vercel - hosts the site and may collect anonymous usage analytics.

5. How we use your data

We use your data only to operate the service: authenticate you, save and sync your library, power live games, publish community contributions under your name, and prevent abuse. We never sell your personal data.

6. Community contributions

Items you publish to the public community library are visible to other users together with your display name. Community items can be reported, and reported items are automatically hidden.

7. Your rights

• Access and correct: update your display name any time from your account settings.
• Export: your saved library items are visible and copyable from the My Library panel.
• Delete: you can permanently delete your account and all associated data from the Profile screen.

8. Security

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Session cookies are httpOnly. We apply rate limiting to public endpoints to help prevent abuse.

9. Children

This service is designed for teachers and adult users. Live games are generally operated by a teacher (host). It is not intended for unsupervised use by young children.
