The Short Version
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with third parties for advertising. We collect only what we need to keep the site working properly and to improve your experience. That is the whole point of this document, but here is the detailed version.
Who This Policy Applies To
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of wafflegame.online. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please stop using the site.
What We Collect
When you visit wafflegame.online, we collect basic technical data automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and how long you spend on them. We use this to understand how people use the site so we can make it better. This data is not tied to your personal identity.
If you create an account (which is optional), we collect your email address and the display name you choose. We use your email to send account-related communications, including password resets. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails.
When you play puzzles, we store your game data, including your results, swap counts, and star ratings. This lets us show you your progress over time and power any leaderboard or sharing features. This data is linked to your account if you are logged in, or stored locally in your browser if you are not.
Cookies
We use cookies to keep you logged in, to remember your game preferences, and to collect anonymous usage analytics. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites or to serve you targeted ads.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect certain features of the site, including staying logged in between sessions.
Analytics
We use third-party analytics tools to understand how people use our site. These tools collect anonymized data about page visits and user interactions. We do not share identifiable personal data with these services.
Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers. We use industry-standard measures to protect it from unauthorized access, including encryption in transit and access controls on our backend systems. No security system is perfect, but we take this seriously.
We do not retain personal data longer than necessary. If you delete your account, we remove your personal information from our systems within 30 days. Anonymized usage data may be retained for longer for analytical purposes.
Third-Party Services
We use a limited number of third-party services to operate the site, including hosting providers and analytics tools. These services only receive data necessary for the function they perform and are bound by their own privacy policies.
We do not integrate with advertising networks or data brokers. Full stop.
Children’s Privacy
wafflegame.online is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Rights
You can request access to the personal data we hold about you. You can request corrections or deletion. You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account or contacting us directly.
