Sharing and privacy

Two audiences can see only part of your library: household members on a restricted profile, and guests with a share link. Both are enforced on the server.

Restricted profiles

A restricted profile, meant for kids, is read-only. It never sees games you mark hidden, and it does not see cover images for games marked hide images; those show a plain “no picture” tile instead. A hidden game’s page looks identical to a page that does not exist, so it never confirms that the game is there.

Guest links

A guest link (/g/<token>) is a read-only view for friends and relatives, with no sign-in.

• Links can expire and can be revoked at any time.
• Guests see only games marked Allow on guest links.
• Each link can hide whole types or tags, and can opt in to showing notes and locations.
• Visitors get a game-night picker: how many are playing and how long they have, and the answer is the headline.
• The full link is shown once, when you create it. Copy it then.

What is never exposed to guests

Ratings, prices, owners and condition are never sent to a guest link. Personal ratings also stay out of the activity trail, so nobody can see who rated what.

Activity trail

Every change is recorded with who made it, so you can see what happened to a game or a copy. Combined with the trash, a mistaken delete is easy to find and undo.
