Privacy policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

Playroom is a Windows app for your game library. This page says what data it handles, why, and what you can do about it. Playroom works without an account; everything below about an account applies only once you sign in.

Who is responsible

Playroom is made by its developer, reachable at marticigor45@gmail.com.

When you sign in to a Playroom account

You can sign in with Discord, with Google, or with an email address and a password. We then keep:

• Your email address and the sign-in method you used (from Discord or Google: your account's id there and the email address they share with us). Your Discord or Google password is never shared with Playroom.
• For an email account, your password, stored only in hashed form by our sign-in service.
• Your Playroom name, if you choose one.
• Sign-in records (when you signed in, and the network address it came from), which our sign-in service keeps for security.

What syncs, and how it is protected

When you sync, Playroom keeps your saves, your settings, your controller setup, per-game settings, favorites, time played and cheat codes on the server, so they are on every PC you use. Before anything is sent, it is encrypted on your PC with a key that belongs to your account; it travels over an encrypted connection and is stored encrypted. The key is kept in your account on the server, so that signing in on another PC is all it takes. This also means that we, running the server, could technically decrypt your synced data. We do not look at it, and use it for nothing but syncing it between your PCs.

Next to each encrypted item the server keeps what it needs to sync it: its size, when it changed, a version number, and the name of the PC it came from (the Windows computer name, used to show which PC a conflicting save came from).

What never leaves your PC

Your games, ROMs and game files, BIOS files, firmware and console keys, your emulators and your folders. Playroom has no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and we do not sell or share your data.

Other services Playroom talks to

• Supabase runs our account server (sign-in, database and storage) and handles the data above on our behalf.
• Discord: if you switch it on, Playroom shows on your Discord profile what you are playing, through the Discord app on your PC - only a game's official name and, if you want, your lead Pokémon's species and level; never a name or nickname you typed.
• RetroAchievements: if you log in there from Playroom, your login is sent only to RetroAchievements and kept encrypted on your PC.
• For cover art, game details and Pokémon names and pictures, Playroom downloads public files from the libretro thumbnail collection, Wikipedia and PokeAPI. Like any website you visit, they see your network address.

How long we keep it, and your rights

We keep your account data for as long as you have the account. In Playroom, under Accounts > Playroom, you can:

• Download my data: a copy of everything the server keeps about your account, as a file.
• Delete account: your account and everything in it on the server are deleted at once and for good. Your games, saves and settings on your PCs stay.
• Change your Playroom name, or sign out (which removes your sign-in from that PC).

You can also write to marticigor45@gmail.com to see, correct or delete your data (we answer within 30 days). If you live in the EU, you can also complain to your data protection authority.
