WYRDO

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 September 2026

Hey, ya WYRDO. Yes, this is a privacy policy. No, we didn't write it to confuse you. It covers everything WYRDO does: our store at wyrdo.com, where we sell the WYRDO party games, and the daily WYRDO game — the iOS and Android app and play.wyrdo.com. Here's what we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do about it, in words normal humans use.

WYRDO Pty Ltd (“WYRDO”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is responsible for your personal information. If you're in the UK or the European Union, that makes us the “controller”. We follow the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles and, where they apply to you, the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and US state privacy laws.

The short version

1. What we collect

When you shop at wyrdo.com

When you play the WYRDO game (the app and play.wyrdo.com)

When you join our referral, unlock and offer programs

The game doesn't access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or precise location, and it doesn't use advertising identifiers.

2. Where we get it

3. How we use it (and why we're allowed to)

We only use your information for things you'd reasonably expect. The legal reasons in brackets matter mostly if you're in the UK or EU.

You don't have to give us anything to browse the store or to play as a guest. To buy something, we need your contact and delivery details; to create a game account or claim a reward, we need your email address. Without them we can't take your order, set up your account or send your reward.

We don't make decisions about you based only on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. Reports and automatic flags are reviewed by a person before we take action on an account.

4. Who can see what

5. Who we share it with (and who we don't)

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers who help us run WYRDO, for the purposes in this policy. Most of them can only use your information to provide their service to us, and they're contractually required to keep it secure. Three exceptions also use what they collect under their own privacy policies: Apple and Google when you sign in with them, Shopify for the features in section 6, and advertising platforms like Meta, Google and TikTok if we run ads for the store (section 7).

We may also share information when the law requires it, to protect someone's safety, or to protect our rights, and with a buyer if WYRDO or its assets are ever sold (they'd have to respect this policy). When you publish a post on a social platform, that platform's own privacy policy applies to it.

6. Our relationship with Shopify

Our store is hosted by Shopify, which also collects and processes personal information about how you use the store. Information you submit may be shared with Shopify and third parties in other countries so they can provide and improve the store.

Shopify also powers some features, like personalised recommendations, that use data from your interactions across different Shopify merchants. For that processing, Shopify is the controller and handles your rights requests about it. You can find out more at shopify.com/legal/privacy or exercise your rights at privacy.shopify.com.

7. Cookies, analytics and ads

On wyrdo.com (the store)

The store uses cookies: small files on your device that help the site remember your cart and preferences, understand how people use it, and show you relevant ads. Klaviyo's script also remembers the products you look at, so if you've signed up for our emails, they can be about stuff you actually like. If you're in the UK or EU, the store asks before it sets cookies that aren't essential. You can also manage or block cookies in your browser settings, though turning them off may break parts of the site.

We and our analytics and advertising partners may use your browsing and purchase activity on the store to measure our ads and show you WYRDO ads on other platforms. This can include your email address or phone number, scrambled (hashed) so the platform can match you. Under some US state laws this can count as “sharing” personal information for targeted advertising. You can opt out:

In the game (the app and play.wyrdo.com)

The game has no ads and no advertising cookies or trackers. It keeps a few things in your device's storage so it works: your device ID, your settings, and choices like whether you've seen the intro tour and your analytics choice. The in-game events described in section 1 go to PostHog, our analytics provider. On play.wyrdo.com, PostHog also keeps a first-party cookie and a local-storage entry so it can recognise your browser between visits.

Your choice: if you're in the UK or EU, the game asks whether we can collect these events, and only collects them if you say yes. Everywhere else they're on unless you switch them off. Anyone can switch them off, or back on, any time in You → Settings (playing without an account? Tap Share usage data at the bottom of the home screen), and switching them off also stops crash reports from your device. On play.wyrdo.com, if your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, we don't collect these events at all.

8. Where your information goes

We're based in Australia, but most of the providers in section 5 store and process information overseas, mainly in the United States and Canada, and sometimes in other countries where they operate. Before we disclose your information overseas, we take reasonable steps to make sure it will be handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles, including through our contracts with those providers.

If your information comes from the UK or the European Economic Area, we transfer it only where the destination has been found to protect it adequately (for example, to a US provider certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension) or under recognised safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum to them. Contact us for more detail.

9. How long we keep it

Copies in our providers' routine backups are overwritten on their normal backup cycle. When we no longer need information, we delete it or de-identify it.

10. How we protect it

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, change or disclosure. Everything travels encrypted (HTTPS), payments go through Shopify's secure checkout, and only the people who need your information to do their job can see it. No security is perfect, though, and information sent over the internet is never 100% secure, so please don't send us sensitive information through unsecured channels like regular email.

11. Your rights and choices

Things you can do yourself, any time:

Wherever you live, you can ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete it, and we'll do it unless the law says we have to keep it. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to:

These rights cover footage that shows you, too, even when we own the footage itself, and anyone who appears in footage someone sent us can ask us to take it down. To exercise any of them, email hey@wyrdo.com. We may need to confirm it's really you first, and you can have an authorised agent make a request for you. We'll respond within 30 days, and if a request is complicated and will take longer, we'll tell you why. If we say no, we'll explain why, and if you're in a US state that gives you the right to appeal, you can appeal by replying to our answer. We won't treat you differently for exercising any of these rights.

We don't ask for sensitive information, like your health, sexuality, religion, politics, precise location or government ID. Some questions go there, so think before you share that sort of thing in a comment or chat. We don't sell personal information, including the personal information of anyone under 16.

12. Complaints

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your personal information, please tell us first at hey@wyrdo.com. We'd genuinely like the chance to sort it out, and we'll reply within 30 days.

If you're not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au). In the UK, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). In the EU, you can complain to your local data protection authority (listed at edpb.europa.eu).

13. Age

The WYRDO game is for players aged 16 and over and isn't made for anyone younger. In US states where the law requires it, the app checks your age range with Apple or Google before you play (see section 1). If we find out someone under 16 has an account, we'll close it and delete their information. Think that's happened? Tell us. Some WYRDO card games are for adults only (18+). We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you send us footage that shows anyone under 18, you're confirming their parent or guardian agreed to it. If you think a child has given us their personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.

14. Links to other sites

Our store and game link to other sites and apps, like social media. Once you leave WYRDO, their privacy policies apply, not ours, so check them before handing anything over.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy, for example if we change how WYRDO works or the law changes. The current version will always be here, with the date it was last updated at the top. If a change is significant, we'll also tell you about it, for example in the game or by email.

16. Contact us
