2. Information We Collect
We collect limited information to keep the site running smoothly:
- Usage data: Pages viewed, buttons clicked, and general traffic patterns.
- Device info: Browser type, operating system, approximate location, screen size, and IP address.
- Cookies/local storage: Small files that remember preferences and help the site load faster.
3. How We Use Your Information

Music note: Challenge sounds belong to their respective owners. If you use them, please follow the original rights holder’s terms.
5. Camera Access (Rhythm Challenges)
When you turn on the camera for rhythm play, the video stays in your browser to draw effects. We do not record, store, or send that feed anywhere.
6. Custom Challenges (User-Uploaded Content)
If you upload images for a Custom Challenge:
- Storage: We store the files so they can be shown in your challenge.
- Scope: We only display them inside the challenge experience.
Private Challenges (Link Sharing):
- 24-hour expiration: Private challenges delete themselves after one day, along with uploaded images.
- Link access: Links are unlisted, but anyone with the link can view and play. Share carefully.
Community Challenges (Published):
- Review first: Published challenges are checked by our team before they appear.
- Public: Approved challenges are visible and playable by anyone.
- Removal: Ask us at privacy@saythewordonbeat.org if you want a published challenge taken down.
7. Cookies
We use cookies/local storage for preferences and performance. You can block them in your browser, but some features may break.
