Privacy
The short version: we store what you give us to run your account, and nothing more.
Glitch is a student project, not a commercial service. This page explains, in plain language, what data the application stores and why.
What we store
- Account details: your username, email, display name, and a hashed password. Passwords are never stored in readable form.
- What you create: your reviews, ratings, comments, likes, and follows. These are public by design, the same way a review is public on any review site.
- Session data: a token issued when you log in, kept in your browser, so you stay signed in between visits.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not run advertising or third-party tracking scripts.
- We do not read your password, because we cannot: it is hashed.
Third parties
Game metadata and artwork come from IGDB. When a game page loads, images are served directly from IGDB's image servers.

You can edit your profile, change your password, or delete content you have written at any time from your account. To have your account and its data removed, contact us through Support.
