THE WAY is a Bible trivia game you can play on the web or on a TV at a participating venue. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the game and its leaderboards. We do not sell your data, we do not use advertising trackers, and we do not run third-party analytics. This page explains, in plain terms, what we collect and why.
THE WAY (“we,” “us”) operates the game at thewaygames.com and its companion TV apps. You can reach us any time at contact@thewaygames.com.
When you connect a TV using a pairing code, the code and its status (waiting, paired, or revoked) are stored so the TV can display your venue’s game. The paired venue is remembered on that TV’s local storage so it does not have to be re-entered on every restart.
Our hosting provider processes standard technical information (such as your IP address) needed to deliver the site securely and to limit abuse — for example, rate-limiting sign-ups and pairing attempts. We use Cloudflare Turnstile on the venue sign-up form to tell humans from bots; it is designed to work without tracking you across sites.
The game uses your browser’s local storage (not advertising cookies) for functional things like your display name, your paired venue, your personal-best scores, your Bible-reader preferences, and venue-management access if you are an owner. You can clear this at any time from your browser or device settings; doing so simply signs you out and forgets your preferences on that device.
These providers process only what is needed to perform their function. We do not share your information with advertisers or data brokers.
Leaderboard entries and venue records are kept while they are in use. Venue owners can reset their leaderboards at any time, and a deleted venue has its records — including its scores and TV pairing codes — removed. Rate-limiting and one-time sign-in codes expire automatically. To request deletion of a display name from a leaderboard, or of a venue, email us at contact@thewaygames.com.
THE WAY is a family-friendly game and may be enjoyed by children, but it is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Because the only identifier a player provides is a freely-chosen display name, we encourage everyone — especially younger players — not to use their real name. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will remove it.
If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and post the new version at this address.
