Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026. DuckYap is a small game for everyone. Questions or deletion requests: hello@duckyap.com.

Kids and grown-ups

If you're under 13, we ask for a parent or guardian's email and send them a link to approve your account. Until they do, you can play but not chat or add friends, and an account that isn't approved within 7 days is deleted. We don't store your age. Parents can email us to see or delete their child's account.

Keep it safe

Please don't share real names, addresses, schools or phone numbers in chat.

What we keep

• Accounts: username, a scrambled (hashed) password, and an email (a parent or guardian's email for under-13s). We never store your real password.
• Game data: duck colour, items, coins, friends and blocked ducks.
• Chat: messages are shown to others in your room. The last 20 lines per room are held in memory, and are copied into a report if someone reports a duck, so a moderator can see what happened.
• Guests: a guest duck and its login are deleted automatically after about 30 days.

In your browser

We save a login token and your settings (last username, music on/off) in your browser's local storage. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.

Emails

We email you for a password reset, and we email a parent or guardian once to approve a child's account. For under-13s, reset links go to the parent's email.

Your choices

Email us from the account's address (or the parent's) and we'll delete the account and its data.
