Privacy Policy

Summary

No accounts, no ads, no tracking cookies by us. Your game save stays on your device. If you buy a speed-up, Stripe (website) or Apple (iPhone app) processes the payment.

iPhone app

The iPhone app collects no personal data and contains no analytics, advertising or tracking. Your save is stored only in the app on your device. In-app purchases are processed by Apple under its own privacy policy (apple.com/privacy); we receive no personal information about you from Apple, only confirmation that a purchase succeeded.

Who is responsible

Nicholas Burton, an individual, contact 1992nburton@gmail.com.

Data on your device

Your progress and settings are stored in your browser's local storage, and the game files are cached for offline play (service worker). This data stays on your device; we do not receive it. You can delete it by clearing the site's data in your browser.

Payments (Stripe)

When you buy a speed-up you enter your payment details on Stripe's checkout page. Stripe, Inc. collects and processes your card details, email and billing information under its own privacy policy (stripe.com/privacy). We receive from Stripe only what is needed to confirm the order: the payment status, amount, a session/payment ID, and the item (which timer was sped up). We do not receive your full card number. If Stripe shows us the email address you entered at checkout, we use it only to handle that order, refunds and support, and we do not copy it into any other system.

Hosting and logs (Vercel)

The Game is hosted by Vercel Inc. When you load the Game or call its payment functions, Vercel processes technical data such as your IP address, browser user agent, requested URLs and timestamps, which may appear in server logs for security and operations. These logs are kept by Vercel for a short period (typically no more than 30 days on our plan) and are not used to identify or profile players.

Why we use data

To deliver the Game, process and verify purchases, prevent fraud or reuse of payments, handle refunds and support, and meet legal obligations (for example tax and accounting records). If you are in the EU or UK, our legal bases are performing our contract with you (delivering what you buy), our legal obligations (tax and accounting), and our legitimate interest in preventing fraud and keeping the service secure.

Sharing

We share data only with the service providers above (Stripe for payments, Vercel for hosting) and when required by law. We do not sell personal information.

Retention

Payment records are kept by Stripe and as required for tax and accounting, generally up to 7 years after the purchase. We keep no player profiles.

Children

The Game is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Purchases are for adults, or for minors only with a parent's or guardian's permission. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a purchase, contact 1992nburton@gmail.com and we will help delete it. The Game is intended for players aged 13 and over.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR/UK GDPR or US state privacy laws) you may have rights to access, correct or delete your data. Contact 1992nburton@gmail.com. For payment data held by Stripe, you can also contact Stripe.

Changes

We may update this policy; the effective date shows the latest version.
