Privacy
Last updated November 2, 2026
Turn to Sketch doesn't need an account, doesn't use cookies and doesn't sell your data.
What we collect
- What you enter in party games: your name, drawings and guesses. Other players in your room see them. Play now matches you with other people online and may add clearly labelled AI players.
- If you play through another platform, such as Discord or Steam: your name and picture there, which the platform shares when you allow it. Your name is filled in for you, and you can change it. Other players in your room see them.
- Records of the games played: what happened in each round, such as the words, drawings and guesses. These are kept without your name.
- Anonymous usage counts, such as how many games are played, and reports when something breaks. These never include your name, drawings or guesses.
- Standard server logs, such as IP address and browser type.
- Feedback you submit through the feedback button, along with the time you sent it. We don't attach your player name, room or email address.
What stays on your device
Your saved sketches and settings are stored in your browser and never sent to us. Clearing this site's data removes them.
How we use it
To run party games, fix problems, and see which games people play and make them better. We may also replay a real round, without names, in our own videos and posts about the game. We don't use your data for advertising.
We read feedback to fix bugs and consider suggestions. Please leave personal details out of your message. For collaboration or a reply, email jacky@turntosketch.com.
Under European privacy law, our reason for this is legitimate interest: we need your name, drawings and guesses to run the game you joined, records of games to improve the games, and the counts, error reports and logs to keep it working.
How long we keep it
Party rooms, and the names and pictures in them, are deleted soon after everyone leaves. Records of games, usage counts and error reports are kept for up to 3 months. A round shown in one of our videos or posts stays there, still without names.
Feedback stays in our database until we delete it. To ask us to remove a message, email us with its text and roughly when you sent it.
AI players
When an AI player guesses, we send a small image of the current drawing, the game language and that AI player’s earlier guesses to OpenAI. We do not send player names, pictures, room codes or the secret word. These requests have response storage turned off.
Who we share it with
Service providers that host the site and run the game for us, who may process it in countries other than yours. We may also share it if the law requires us to. When you play through another platform, or share a drawing to another app, that service's own privacy policy applies too.
Children
Turn to Sketch is made for a general audience, not for children in particular, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Please play under a nickname, not your real name, and don't type personal details into names or guesses. If a child has shared something they shouldn't have, email us and we'll remove it.
Your rights
You can ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing hello@turntosketch.com. We'll reply within a month. Since there are no accounts, tell us roughly when you played and the name you used, or a word or drawing from the game. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live.
Terms
The rules for playing are in the terms.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
