Privacy

The short version

No tracking cookies. No advertising scripts. No IP addresses kept. No name, no email, and no account unless you choose to sign in. Outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the site keeps a random number in your browser so that repeat visits hold together, plus records of what was played and answered. If you visit from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, none of that measuring happens: the games work the same and keep your personal bests on your device, but no visitor id is created and nothing about your visit is sent to the server. If you do choose to sign in, one essential cookie keeps you signed in, and Google’s sign-in script is loaded on the pages that offer it.

Where the site does not measure

When a page first loads, it asks the server one yes-or-no question: is this a country where the site measures? The request carries no identifier, and only the answer comes back. Until the answer arrives, nothing described in the next two sections is stored or sent. For the countries of the European Economic Area and for the United Kingdom the answer is no, and it stays no for the whole visit: no visitor id, session id, first-visit date or arrival marker is written to your browser, any such marker left from an earlier visit is deleted, no usage event, score or poll answer is sent, and poll questions are not shown. The server also discards any usage event, score or poll answer that does arrive from those countries. If the question cannot be answered, the site does not measure that visit.

Stored in your browser

Everything in this section lives in your browser storage, not in a cookie. Nothing here leaves your device except where the next section says so. Outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, and only once the check above has answered, it holds a random visitor id and a random session id, the date you first arrived, markers for how you arrived, a note that the country check has been done, and a short local log of recent usage events. In every country it also holds your personal bests, your daily progress and streak, your farm save, which poll questions you have already answered, and which games you played recently, because the games need them. None of it identifies you. Clearing your browser data erases all of it, and you become a new, unlinked visitor.

Sent to the server

This section applies only outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.

Usage events: which page was opened, which game was started and finished, which links and shelves were clicked, when a share button was pressed, and when a poll question was shown or answered. Each event carries the random visitor and session ids described above.

How long each page stayed open and how long it was actually in view, and, when you leave a game page, which stage of the game you had reached (for example, the third of five colors). Whether you kept playing a game, with the page in view, for at least a minute.

Scores you set, and poll answers. A poll answer records which option you picked, in which slot the options happened to be shown, and how many milliseconds passed before you answered, so that answers pushed at random can be told apart from considered ones.

The address of the site that linked you here, if there was one, and any campaign markers in the link you arrived on.

A coarse description of your browser, worked out by the server from the request: its family (for example Chrome, Safari, or the browser built into an app such as Reddit), your operating system family, whether the device is a phone, a tablet or a computer, and whether it announces itself as automated. The full browser identification string is not stored.

Your country, and nothing more precise. It is derived by the host from the network request. The IP address itself is not stored.

Signing in with Google

Signing in is optional and the site works fully without it. If you sign in, Amuze receives your Google account identifier and email address. Outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom it links them to the random visitor id already in your browser, so that the scores and progress you built up before signing in stay yours. Amuze never sees your Google password. If you do not see a sign-in option, none of this applies to you.

Who else handles the data

The site runs on Vercel and stores its records in Supabase. Both process requests on behalf of Amuze and may keep their own operational logs, which can include IP addresses, under their own policies. The site also uses Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies: a visitor is identified by a hash of the request that is discarded after twenty-four hours, so the same person cannot be followed from one day to the next or onto any other site. It records the page, the referrer, the country and region, the device type, and the browser and operating system version. It keeps no IP address and no identifier that works anywhere else. There are no advertising scripts on this site. If advertising is added, this page will be updated before it goes live.

Cookies

Amuze sets no cookie at all until you choose to sign in. If you do, one cookie named amuze_s keeps you signed in. It is readable only by the server, is limited to this site, lasts up to 180 days, and holds nothing but a signed reference to your account. It is not used for advertising or for tracking you anywhere else. Signing out removes it. Two third-party scripts run on the site and neither sets a cookie: Google’s sign-in script, which loads only on pages that offer sign-in, and Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views on every page.

How long it is kept, and your choices

Records are kept while they are useful for running and improving the site. Because the visitor id is a random number held in your browser, clearing your browser data detaches you from everything previously recorded. Signing out removes the session cookie. Deleting an account record on request needs a contact address, which is not published yet; until it is, signing out and clearing your browser data is what is available.

Children

Amuze is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

When what the site collects changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top is updated.
