Privacy policy
Last updated October 27, 2026
DiceCritic is a place to track, rate and review board games. This policy explains what we collect, what is public, who helps us run the site, and the choices you have. Questions go to info@dicecritic.com.
The short version
- Your email address is private. We use it only to sign you in and to contact you about your account.
- Your profile and what you add to it (shelves, ratings, reviews, favorites and logged plays) are public.
- We don't sell your information, show ads, or use advertising trackers.
- You can ask us to delete your account and everything you've added at any time.
What we collect
Account details. Your email address, and the handle, display name and bio you choose.
What you add. Games on your shelves, ratings, reviews, favorites, logged plays (date, length, notes, scores and who played), and games or edits you suggest for the catalog.
Other players' names. When you log a play you can type in the names of people you played with. Those names appear with the play, so please only add names your friends are happy to have shown, or use first names or nicknames.
Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting and sign-in providers record IP addresses, browser type and request times in their logs, to keep the site running and secure.
What is public
Your handle, display name, bio, shelves, ratings, reviews, favorites and logged plays can be seen by anyone, including people who aren't signed in, and may be found through search engines. Your email address is never shown.
Cookies
We use cookies only to keep you signed in. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we don't currently use analytics.
Who helps us run DiceCritic
These companies process information for us, only to provide their service:
- Supabase stores the database and handles sign-in.
- Vercel hosts the website.
- Resend delivers sign-in emails.
- Google Fonts provides the site's typefaces, so your browser contacts Google when pages load.
- Wikimedia Commons hosts some game photos, so your browser loads them from Wikimedia.
These providers may store information in the United States or other countries. We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our members or the site.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and what you've added until you delete it or ask us to. Catalog edits you suggested stay in the catalog's history without your name once your account is deleted.
Your choices
- Change your handle, name and bio in Settings.
- Edit or delete your ratings, reviews and shelf entries from each game's page.
- To get a copy of your information, correct it, or delete your account, email info@dicecritic.com from the address you sign in with. We'll respond within 30 days.
Children
DiceCritic is not for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email info@dicecritic.com and we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll tell members by email or on the site before they take effect.
