Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide: When you create an account, we collect your username, email address, and password (stored as a salted hash). Game scores, completion times, and competition entries you generate are also linked to your account.
• Usage data: We collect anonymous technical data such as your browser type, device type, approximate region, and the puzzles you play. This helps us improve the Service and keep leaderboards fair.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences (such as theme and difficulty), and serve advertising. See the Cookies section below, or our dedicated Cookie Policy.

How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the puzzles and features of the Service.
• To operate leaderboards, competitions, and personal progress tracking.
• To display advertising through Google AdSense and other partners.
• To detect and prevent fraud, cheating, and abuse of the Service.
• To respond to your support requests and enforce our Terms of Service.

Third-Party Advertising & Vendors

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Specifically, we use:

• Google AdSense — for serving display ads. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
• DoubleClick (operated by Google) — the DART cookie helps serve relevant ads. You may opt out of the DART cookie at Google's Ads technologies page.

These third parties may use automated devices to access, collect, or use data about your interactions with the Service. We do not control these third-party trackers and their use of information is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only:

• With service providers (such as advertising partners like Google) who help us operate the Service;
• To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from public authorities;
• To protect the rights, property, safety, or security of our Service and users;
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets.

Your Data Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you;
• Correct or update information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• Delete your personal information (the "right to be forgotten");
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data;
• Withdraw consent to non-essential cookies at any time;
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypting passwords, using secure (HTTPS) connections, and restricting access to personal data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it. In accordance with Google's policies, we do not use interest-based advertising to target users we know to be under 18.

Data Retention

We retain your account information and game history for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Score records may be retained to maintain the integrity of historical leaderboards and competitions even after account deletion.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
