Who is responsible for your data
I built LinkedIn or Interpol on my own, so I’m responsible for any information the site handles. I decide what is saved in your browser, what is sent to the server and why. There is no company or data team behind the game: if you have a question about your data, you deal with me directly. More about me.
What your browser saves
The game uses your browser’s local storage, not cookies, to remember two things:
loi:stats:v1: your score, total, streak, best streak and game settings such as your chosen filter.loi:portrait-history:v1: up to 500 short codes for the faces you saw recently, so you don’t get the same faces again too soon.
None of this identifies you. To delete it, clear the site data for linkedinorinterpol.xyz in your browser settings. The Reset button in the game only clears the score counters.
What is sent when you play
To load each new face, your browser asks the game’s server for a round and includes your recent-face codes. The server uses them only to choose a face you haven’t seen, and doesn’t store them. Your score and guesses are never stored on the server. The game doesn’t contact LinkedIn, INTERPOL or any other service while you play. Links to official websites on the information pages open those sites under their own privacy policies.
Hosting and server logs
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. I don’t use this information to identify players, and I don’t combine it with anything else.
Cookies, analytics and ads
The game sets no cookies and shows no ads. There is no Google Analytics, Facebook pixel or similar tracking. If I ever add cookie-free visitor statistics, I’ll update this policy first.
The people shown in the game
I use real data from LinkedIn and INTERPOL for education and entertainment purposes only. For each person, the game shows a photo and a few details: the name, job, company and country from a LinkedIn profile, or the name, charges, issuing country and nationality from a public INTERPOL notice. The data is not available for download or reuse.
If you appear in the game, you can ask me to:
- tell you what is shown about you,
- correct a detail that is wrong, or
- remove your entry from the game.
Send the name shown after the guess through the contact page. You can also ask on behalf of someone else. Only INTERPOL and the requesting country can withdraw an official notice itself.
How the data is protected
The site is served only over HTTPS. Faces are sent one round at a time and the answer only after a guess, so the full set of photos and details isn’t published anywhere on the site. Automated requests are rate-limited to stop bulk copying.
Children’s privacy
The game never asks for a name, email, age or any other personal details, so it doesn’t collect information about children or anyone else. The game itself is meant for players aged 16 and over, as explained in the terms of use.
Changes to this policy
If anything changes, I’ll update this page and the date at the top.
