Peridot is a real world adventure pet game where all the creatures, known as Peridots (or “Dots” for short), are one-of-a-kind and unique. In this game, you are a Keeper, in charge of raising your Dot from birth to adulthood. Your Dot grows as you nurture, feed, play, and engage with it.   Explore our privacy features that put you in control.

What Can Other Players See About Me?

In game

Players can see the following information about you at a Habitat in the “Nearby Dots” section, or when shown in “Visitor Dots”:

  • Your Niantic ID/Keeper Name

  • Your Dot's name

  • Your Dot's Archetype

  • Players will have the ability to share your Dot with others which will include your Dot’s photo, Traits, and your Niantic ID. 

  • Players will have the opportunity to Hatch-a-Dot with your Dot in Campfire (Note:  Niantic Kids accounts do not have access to Campfire or this feature.)

To opt out of your Niantic ID appearing at Habitats, go to your Backpack > Settings > and select Incognito Mode.

What Can My Friends See About Me?

Friends can see the following profile information in your Peridot profile:

  • Niantic ID
