Built By Everyone · last updated 8 November 2026
Built By Everyone is a shared 3D world at builtbyeveryone.com. You can play without signing up. This page lists what the game stores about you, why, and for how long.
What we store
- A player ID in a cookie. When you open the game, you get a random player ID, a generated name (such as "SunnyOtter412") and a random look. A first-party session cookie keeps you as the same player.
- What you do in the world. Your position and actions (joining, chatting, grabbing objects, opening doors) are shared live with other players and recorded for game statistics. Detailed records are kept 7 days, then reduced to daily totals. "Was this player here on this day" is kept 90 days, and daily totals 400 days.
- Chat messages are shown to everyone online and kept 30 days.
- Ideas and bug reports you submit. Public notes are shown on the in-game corkboard with your player name; private notes are seen only by you and the team. Notes are kept until we delete them.
- Email address (optional). If you give one, we use it to confirm the address, to send game update notices if you asked for them, and for password resets. It is never shown to other players. Every update email has an unsubscribe link.
- Password (optional). Stored only as a salted hash, never in readable form.
- IP address. Used to limit abuse (for example, too many sign-ups or messages from one network). These counters are deleted within a day.
- Where you came from. If you arrive by clicking one of our ads, we record that visit's campaign and the click ID Google adds to the link, to measure which ads bring players. We do not receive any other information about you from Google.
- Reports. If you report a player, we keep the report, including who sent it, for moderation.
What we don't do
- No third-party trackers, advertising cookies or analytics scripts run in the game.
- We don't sell or rent your information.
Who processes it for us
- Cloudflare hosts the game and its database.
- Resend delivers our emails.
- Google Ads shows our ads. The game reads ad performance (clicks and cost) from Google, not data about individual players.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from update emails with the link in any update email, or in the Account dialog in the game.
- To see, correct or delete your data, or to close your account, email hello@builtbyeveryone.com.
- The game is not meant for children under 13.
