Privacy Policy
Last updated November 11, 2026
This policy explains what information AdultsLosing.com (“AdultsLosing”, “we”, “us”), operated by Underfire Games Studios LLC, collects about you, why, who can see it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. It applies together with our Terms of Service. AdultsLosing is for adults aged 21 and over only; we do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger, and we close any account we learn belongs to someone under 21.
Information you give us
- Account details: your username, email address, password and date of birth. Your password is stored only in scrambled (hashed) form; nobody at AdultsLosing can read it. Your date of birth is used to confirm you are 21 or over and can’t be changed after sign-up.
- Profile: anything you choose to add — real name, gender, location, favorite games, who you like to play with, best times to play, and “About me”. Every profile field is optional and has its own “Visible to” setting.
- Pictures: your profile pictures, your PicSet pictures, and the Verification Image you upload so staff can confirm a PicSet shows you. If you use “Take a picture”, the photo is taken in your browser and uploaded only when you save it; we never record video or sound.
- Messages: what you write in the lobby chat, at game tables, and in private chats.
- Friends and settings: your friends list and friend requests, and your site settings (theme, sounds, card design, who may message you privately).
Information collected as you use the site
- Activity on the site: when you last logged in and were last online, the games you join, your credits and results at game tables, and the achievements you earn.
- IP address: recorded with log-in, sign-up and password-reset attempts to stop people guessing passwords and creating accounts in bulk. These records are deleted after 2 days. Our web server’s logs also contain IP addresses and are deleted after 14 days.
- Cookies: we use one cookie, which keeps you logged in and protects forms against forgery. It ends when you close your browser or log out. Your browser also stores a few preferences on your own device (for example which private chats you had open and your camera timer). We use no advertising or tracking cookies, no analytics services, and no social-media buttons.
How we use it
- To run your account and the site’s features: profiles, PicSets, chats, friends, games and achievements.
- To check that members are adults and that PicSets are genuine.
- To keep the site safe: stopping password guessing and spam sign-ups, and moderating content and behavior under our Terms of Service.
- To send you emails you need: confirming your email address, password-reset links, and a notice when your password changes. We don’t send marketing emails. If we ever do, you will be able to opt out.
We do not sell your information, rent it, or share it with advertisers.
Who can see your information
- Other members see your username, your chosen profile picture, the profile fields you have made visible to them (“Everyone” or “Friends only”), your achievements, when you were last online, and what you write in the lobby and at game tables.
- PicSets are private to you and site staff until you use one at a game table, where the people at that table see its pictures as the game reveals them. The Verification Image is never shown to other members.
- Moderators can see account details needed for moderation (with email addresses partly hidden), lobby and table chat history, and the pictures needed to verify PicSets.
- Administrators can see all account and profile details, including hidden fields, and can read private chats for moderation. Every time an administrator opens a private conversation it is recorded in the staff log. You are reminded of this in every private chat.
- Service providers that run the site for us, only as needed:
- DigitalOcean (United States) hosts our server, database, pictures and backups.
- Amazon Web Services (United States) delivers our emails, so it handles your email address and the message we send.
- The law: we may disclose information when required by law, or when needed to protect members or the public from harm — for example to report suspected child sexual abuse material, which we always do.
How long we keep it
- Your account, profile, pictures, PicSets, friends and private chats are kept until you delete your account.
- Lobby and game-table messages are kept as part of the site’s history, even after an account is deleted; they then show only the username that wrote them.
- Records of login and password-reset attempts: 2 days. Web server logs: 14 days.
- Password-reset links work for 60 minutes; email confirmation links for 48 hours.
- Our backups are kept for 7 days, so deleted information can remain in a backup for up to 7 days before it is gone for good.
- Records of actions taken by staff (for example bans) are kept to keep moderation accountable.
Your choices and rights
- See and change: you can view and edit your profile and its visibility, change your pictures, and choose who may message you privately at any time.
- Delete: you can delete your account yourself from My Account. This permanently removes your account, profile, pictures, PicSets, friends and private chats (except as described above for chat history and backups).
- Ask us: to get a copy of your information, correct something you can’t change yourself, or ask any question about your privacy, email privacy@adultslosing.com. We may need to confirm the request comes from you. Depending on where you live you may have further rights under local law, and we will honor them.
Members from the classic site
If you had an account on the classic AdultsLosing site, we moved your account, profile, profile picture and PicSets to this site in November 2026, including the visibility choices you had made. Your classic password works here too; the first time you log in with it, it is stored again in our current, stronger form. You can review or delete anything that was moved, the same as any other information.
Security
The site is only available over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Pictures are stored outside the public part of our server and are shown only to people allowed to see them. Passwords are hashed, the database is reachable only from our own server, and staff access is limited by role. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a password you don’t use anywhere else.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change significantly affects how we use your information, we will tell members on the site before it takes effect.
