Who We Are
A Friendly Game ("AFG," "we," "us") is a compatibility matching platform that helps board game players find compatible gaming partners and lasting friendships. We are based in the United States.
What We Collect
We collect the following information when you use AFG:
Your name and callsign — the first name and animal you choose during registration (e.g., "Amy the Owl"). We never ask for your full legal name.
Your questionnaire answers — gaming preferences, personality questions, values, and interests you share during the matching process.
Contact information — your email address, if you choose to provide it through our Talk to Me form or during registration.
Session data — your browser stores your session locally so you can return to where you left off.
How We Use Your Data
Your data is used for one purpose: matching you with compatible gaming partners. Specifically:
Your questionnaire answers are compared with other users' answers using our compatibility algorithm to generate match scores.
Your name and animal callsign are shown to your matches so they can find you at events.
Your email is used only to contact you about your matches or to respond to messages you send us. It is never shown to other users.
Your individual questionnaire answers are never shown to other users. Only your callsign, match percentage, and general compatibility highlights (like "shared values" or "thinks alike") are visible.
What We Never Do
We never sell your data to anyone.
We never share your data with advertisers.
We never use your data for advertising or marketing purposes.
We never display ads in AFG.
We never share your individual answers with other users or third parties.
Where Your Data Lives
Your data is stored in a Supabase cloud database. Data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Your browser also stores a local session copy so you can resume where you left off.
If you contact us through our Talk to Me form, your message is also processed by Web3Forms to deliver the email notification to us.
Sensitive Information
Some questions in our deeper tiers touch on faith, political outlook, LGBTQ+ identity, and gender preferences. These answers are treated with extra care:
They are entirely optional — you can skip the gateway questions entirely.
They are used only for compatibility scoring, never displayed to anyone.
They are deleted along with all your other data if you choose to delete your account.
Your Rights
Delete your data: You can delete all your data at any time using the "Delete My Data" link found at the bottom of every screen. This permanently removes your record from our database and clears your local session.
Access your data: Contact us through Talk to Me to request a copy of your stored data.
Correct your data: You can update your answers at any time by returning to the questionnaire through your profile.
Children
AFG is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If we make significant changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Welcome
By using A Friendly Game ("AFG"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service. We want this to be straightforward, so we've kept the legalese to a minimum.
What AFG Is
AFG is a compatibility matching tool for board game players. We use psychology-backed questionnaires to suggest people you might enjoy gaming with. We are not a dating service, a social network, or a guarantee of friendship.
Your Account
Your identity on AFG is your callsign (name + animal). You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide. Please use your real first name so your matches can find you at events.
You may only create one profile. If you need to start over, use the "Delete My Data" link first.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
Provide false information to manipulate matches
Use AFG to harass, stalk, or harm other users
Scrape, copy, or extract data from AFG's database
Attempt to reverse-engineer the matching algorithm
Use AFG for any commercial purpose without our permission
Impersonate another person
Our Rights
All content, design, code, algorithms, and branding of A Friendly Game are the intellectual property of A Friendly Game and its creators. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from AFG without written permission.
We reserve the right to remove any user's data, modify the service, or discontinue AFG at any time.
No Guarantees
AFG is provided "as is." We do our best to create meaningful matches based on research-validated compatibility science, but we cannot guarantee:
That any match will result in a positive experience
That the service will be available at all times
That match scores perfectly predict real-world compatibility
You use AFG at your own discretion and assume responsibility for your interactions with other users.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, A Friendly Game and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to negative experiences with matched users.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of AFG after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
