Privacy
If you never sign in, we keep nothing: your career lives in your browser and never reaches us. If you sign in, we keep your email address, the sign-in account you used and your career, so it can follow you to your other devices. You can download or delete all of it, free, whenever you like.
What we keep
If you never sign in: nothing about you. If you sign in: your email address, the Google or Microsoft account number if you use one of those, a cookie that keeps you signed in, your career (including a team name, if you typed one) and daily copies of it. We don't keep your name or photo, we don't store your IP address, and we don't track you or show ads. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page visits for us, with no cookies, nothing stored on your device and nothing that follows you between sites. The game asks your year of birth before sign-in and doesn't keep the answer, only that you passed.
Why
To put your career on your other devices, to let you back in, and to send you a sign-in code when you ask for one. We send no marketing email.
Who else handles it
Cloudflare runs our servers and checks code requests for robots. Google or Microsoft see your sign-in if you use them. Nobody else, and nothing is sold.
How long
Your account and career stay until you delete them, or after 24 months with no sign-in or play, once we've emailed you twice. Daily copies last 30 days. A sign-in cookie lasts 90 days from its last use. After you delete your account it's gone straight away, apart from backups of the database itself, which age out within 30 days.
Your choices
In the game, Options then Account: download everything, or delete everything. Both are free, always. No sign-in is ever needed to play.
Age
Sign-in is for people 16 and over. If we learn that someone younger has an account, we delete it.
