Privacy policy

Effective 30 October 2026

Noodle Hide & Paint is a hide-and-seek painting game by Workaholic Developers for iPhone, iPad, Android and web browsers. It is made for families and kids, and it is built so that we don't need to know anything about you.

Data not collected

  • No accounts. There is nothing to sign up for or log in to.
  • No ads. The game shows no advertising and contains no ad software.
  • No analytics. We don't measure how you play, and there are no third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools.
  • No tracking. We don't use advertising identifiers, cookies for tracking, or fingerprinting, and we never sell or share data.
  • No purchases. The game is free and has no in-app purchases.
  • No chat. There is no text or voice chat anywhere in the game.

Your progress stays on your device

Stars, unlocked worlds, patterns, brushes, hats, the sticker album, your gallery of disguises, your daily streak and settings are saved only on your device (in the app's local storage, or your browser's storage on the web). They are never sent to us. Deleting the app, clearing the site's data, or using "Reset progress" in Settings removes them. Sharing a disguise from the gallery uses your device's own share sheet: the picture goes only where you send it.

Online rooms

Online rooms are optional and private: only people with the six-letter room code (or the invite link) can join. When you play in one:

  • Your player name is a random fun name made on your device. You can't type your own name, so no personal names are shared.
  • Players can only send eight preset emotes. There is no text or voice chat.
  • The Dabble you paint travels to the other players in your room so their phones can show it during the seek. It goes only to that room, only during that game, and we do not store it.
  • Our server passes paint, placements, emotes and results between the players in the room and runs the timers. Rooms live only in the server's memory and end when the game ends; nothing about the room is kept afterwards.
  • The host can remove a player from the room, and anyone can hide another player's paint on their own screen.
  • Room codes and invite links only let people join that one room.

Web server logs

Like every website, our web server keeps standard logs (IP address, time, page requested and browser type) to keep the service secure and working. They are kept for about 14 days and then deleted. We don't use them to identify or profile anyone.

Children

The game is designed to be safe for children aged 4 and up. Because we collect no personal information from anyone, we collect none from children. Links that leave the game (like "More games") sit behind a grown-ups check.
