Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
Monstit is a classroom quiz game where players answer questions, hatch monsters and play in rooms with friends. This page explains what information Monstit collects, why, and what we do with it. We keep it to the minimum the game needs.
Playing as a guest
You can join a room with just a room code and a name. The name you type is shown to the host and other players in that room while the game runs. It is kept only in the server's memory for that room and is not saved to any database. Your browser may remember the last name you typed so you don't have to type it again; you can clear it by clearing your browser's site data.
Accounts
An account lets you host games, play single player and keep your monsters. For an account we store:
- Username and password accounts: your username and a salted, hashed version of your password. We never store your actual password.
- Google sign-in: the name on your Google account and Google's anonymous account ID for you. We ask Google only for basic profile information. We do not receive your Google password, your contacts, your email inbox or any other Google data.
- Sign-in sessions: a random session code in a cookie so you stay signed in for up to seven days. Signing out deletes it.
Game progress
Your monsters, Monstit Bucks, eggs and other progress are saved in your own browser, separately for each account. They are not uploaded to our server.
During a game
While you play in a room, the server keeps your name, your chosen monster, your score and your answers so it can run the game and show the leaderboard. This is thrown away when the room closes.
For signed-in players, the server also keeps a running total for the all-time leaderboard: how many room matches you have played and won, your total points and your best score. Your account name is shown on the leaderboard to other signed-in players. Guests and solo games are not counted.
Voice chat
Voice chat is off unless you turn it on. When you join voice in a room, your account name is shown to the others in that room's voice chat, and your voice is sent live to them through LiveKit, a voice service. Your mic stays off until you switch it on. Voice is never recorded or saved by us, and you can mute anyone. Guests can't use voice chat.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your information to anyone.
- We don't show ads or use advertising or tracking cookies.
- We don't use analytics services to track you.
Services we use
- Railway hosts the game server. Like most web hosts, it may keep basic technical logs such as IP addresses for security and reliability.
- LiveKit carries live voice chat audio between players who turn voice on. It is not recorded.
- Google Fonts provides the game's fonts, so your browser loads them from Google.
- Google handles sign-in if you choose "Continue with Google".
- Stripe handles payments for Monstit Premium. The grown-up who pays enters their card details and email on Stripe's own checkout page; Monstit never sees or stores card details. We only keep a Stripe customer reference and whether the membership is active, so Premium works on the player's account.
- The optional Discord link opens Discord's own site, which has its own privacy policy. Discord is for players 13 and older.
Monstit Premium
Premium is an optional monthly membership. It must be bought by a parent or guardian, renews every month, and can be cancelled at any time from the Premium page ("For grown-ups: manage or cancel"). Cancelling stops future payments; Premium stays on until the end of the month that was already paid for.
Kids and families
Monstit is made for students. Players can use it as guests without giving any personal information beyond a name, and we recommend a first name or nickname. Parents and teachers can contact us at any time to ask about or remove an account.
Deleting your information
To delete an account and its stored information, email us from the address below with your username. Game progress saved in your browser can be removed by clearing your browser's site data for monstit.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
