Backrooms Tag: Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 23, 2026 · Made by Red Rider Games

The short version: Backrooms Tag has no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and it doesn't sell anything about you. To play together, your name, fur color, hat and movements are shared with the other players in your room. If you turn on voice chat, your voice goes straight to them too, and so do any text chat messages you type. Neither is ever recorded. If you report a player, that report is sent to us.

What stays on your device

The game saves these in your headset's browser storage so they're there next time:

your player name and fur color
whether you turned voice chat on
a random player ID. It is made up on your device, isn't linked to your Meta account, and is used so that blocking someone still works after you restart
the list of players you've blocked
your points, items, achievements, hats, entity index photos and game settings

Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes all of this.

What other players in your room receive

When you join a room with a code, the game connects you directly to the other players in that room (peer-to-peer, using WebRTC). They receive:

your player name, fur color and random player ID
where your head and hands are, so they can see your gorilla move
whether you're the Entity or a survivor
the hat you're wearing
if voice chat is on: your microphone audio, live
any text chat messages you type. They're shown to the players in your room for a short time, then disappear. They aren't stored or sent to us

Because the connection is direct, the other players' devices can also see your device's internet (IP) address. This is how peer-to-peer connections work. Only play in rooms with people you're comfortable with, and keep your room code private if you don't want strangers to join. The PUBLIC rooms are open to anyone, so strangers can join you there.

Microphone

The game only asks for your microphone when you turn voice chat on, in the menu or with the VOICE key on the terminal. Your voice is sent live to the players in your room. It is not recorded, stored or sent to us. You can mute yourself (left Y button in VR, or V on desktop) or turn voice chat off at any time.

Services the game uses

Connecting players: to find the other players in a room, the game uses a free public matchmaking server run by the PeerJS project. That server sees your IP address and a temporary connection ID that contains the room code. If a direct connection between two players isn't possible, game data and voice can be relayed through PeerJS's relay servers.
Loading the game: parts of the game's code (the three.js and PeerJS libraries) are downloaded from the jsDelivr content network. Like any website, it sees your IP address when it sends the files.
Website hosting: the game is served from Cloudflare, which keeps standard web server logs (such as IP addresses and the time of each request).

Reports

Every player on the board next to the terminal has a REPORT button. When you report someone, this is sent to us through Formspree, a form service that delivers it to our email:

the reported player's name and random player ID
your name and random player ID
the room code, the names and player IDs of everyone in the room, and the time

We only use reports to deal with players who break the rules. We keep them for up to 12 months and then delete them. Reporting someone also blocks them on your device: you won't hear them, and their name is hidden for you.

Rules and enforcement

Be kind. No harassment, hate, sexual content, threats, or sharing personal information. Players must also follow Meta's Code of Conduct for Virtual Experiences. Reports are reviewed by us, the developer of Backrooms Tag, not by Meta. If we take action against a player, it will be because of a report we reviewed. If you think we've made a mistake, email us at the address below and we'll look again.

Children

Backrooms Tag is meant for players aged 13 and over. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us information through a report, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices

Play solo by leaving the room code empty. Then nothing is shared with anyone.
Leave voice chat off, or mute yourself.
Change your name at any time using the terminal.
Ask us to delete any report that mentions you by emailing us with your player name and the room code.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
