What You Need to Know at a Glance
Before we set out the full legal details under UK law, here is the plain summary in short sentences so anyone—from a teenager checking a party game to a parent reading the small print—can see exactly how this site works.
- No accounts or sign-ups: You never have to type in your name, email address, age, or phone number to read ChalkChorus.
- No cookies on your device: We do not set any cookies or save anything in your browser's local storage. That is why we do not show an annoying cookie banner.
- No analytics or ad tracking: We do not track which pages you read, build a profile about you, or load third-party adverts or trackers.
- Standard web server logs only: To load any website on the internet, your browser has to send your IP address to the web server. Our host keeps basic technical logs for a short time to keep the site working and block cyber-attacks.
- Device preferences stay on your device: If your phone or computer is set to dark mode or reduced motion, your browser follows that setting automatically without storing anything with us.
- External game sites are separate: When you follow a button to an official game website (such as Incredibox, Bandle, or Gartic Phone), you leave ChalkChorus, and that game publisher's own privacy policy applies.

What Data Is Processed When You Visit
Whenever your web browser loads a page or picture on any website, it automatically sends a standard network request to the server hosting that site. Your browser has to send your IP address so the server knows where to send the page back. You do not have to give us anything else to use ChalkChorus.
We process only the minimal technical server log fields that our web host records when delivering a page:
Recorded Technical Server Log Fields:
We keep no visitor logs of our own. To deliver and protect the site, Cloudflare processes technical request data: IP address, time of the request, the page requested, and browser and device type.
We do not ask for, collect, or store any other personal data through the website. There are no registration forms, comment boxes, newsletters, or user profiles on ChalkChorus. If you choose to email us at [Contact email], we will receive your email address and whatever message you send so that we can reply to you.
Why Technical Logs Are Kept & How Long They Last
Why We Process Server Logs
Technical server logs are processed solely to:
- Deliver the website: route HTML pages, stylesheets, and original artwork to your browser rapidly and reliably;
- Keep the site secure: detect, block, and mitigate malicious traffic, automated scraping, denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and unauthorised access attempts; and
- Fix technical faults: diagnose broken links, server errors, or rendering failures.
Lawful Basis Under UK GDPR
Our lawful basis for processing these technical server logs is legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR. Our legitimate interests are operating a safe, resilient, and fault-free public website, protecting our infrastructure from cyber-attacks, and diagnosing delivery errors. Because only standard network request metadata is logged for a brief period and is never used to profile or track visitors, these technical operations do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
How Long Technical Logs Are Kept
Technical server logs are retained for: We keep no server logs. Cloudflare keeps request data only for as long as its privacy policy (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy) sets out for security and network operations., after which they are automatically overwritten or deleted in the ordinary course of operations.
Who Receives Technical Log Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade visitor data with advertisers, data brokers, or third parties. Technical server logs are received and processed on our behalf strictly by our infrastructure and hosting provider acting as a data processor under a binding data processing agreement:
Hosting Provider (Data Processor) & International Transfer Safeguards:
Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The site is delivered from Cloudflare's global network, including data centres outside the UK and Canada; Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension.
Where content delivery or server processing involves an international transfer of technical log data outside the United Kingdom, that transfer is governed by the safeguard detailed above (such as UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses).
Your Data Protection Rights & How to Complain
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights over your personal data (subject to the statutory conditions and exemptions that apply to short-lived technical IP logs where we cannot identify you by name):
- Right of access: to ask whether we hold personal data about you and to request a copy of it;
- Right to rectification: to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
- Right to erasure: to ask us to delete personal data where there is no good reason for us to keep processing it;
- Right to restriction of processing: to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in specific scenarios; and
- Right to object: to object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests.

Links to Official Game Websites
ChalkChorus is an independent UK editorial guide. Every featured entry—covering Incredibox, Bandle, SongTrivia, Songless, Spotle, Gartic Phone, skribbl.io, Gartic.io, JKLM.fun (BombParty, PopSauce), and StopotS—includes a clearly marked button that takes you to that game's official website.
When you click an external link to visit a game's official site, you leave ChalkChorus. Those external game websites are operated by their respective developers and publishers, not by us. They have their own privacy policies, cookie banners, terms of service, account systems, and advertising partners. We encourage you—and parents or carers exploring with younger players—to check each game's facts strip on our Amphitheatre home page or read our Parents & Carers guide before leaving ChalkChorus.
