Winroids is published by Kuamka Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. This notice says what happens to information when you play the game, and what happens if you choose to pay something through the honesty box.

Playing the game

Playing sends nothing to us unless you choose to turn analytics on, described below. Your high scores, the name you type into the high-score table, your options, a count of the games you have finished, and your analytics choice are written to your own browser's local storage and stay on your device: the game reads them back when it starts. If you say yes to analytics, the game also generates a single identifier and stores that alongside them. Nothing sends any of it anywhere except as the next section describes. The count is there so the honesty box can wait until you have played the game properly rather than ask a stranger.

You can remove them. The game's Clear high scores button empties the score table; your options, the name the game remembers for you, the count of games played, your analytics choice and the analytics identifier are kept separately and are not affected by it. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes all of them.

There is no advertising and no profiling on the game itself, and playing it tells us nothing about who you are. Paying is the one exception: the honesty box takes you to Stripe, and what that leaves us with is set out below. The page is served as static files by GitHub Pages, which keeps ordinary server logs of requests for them as any web host does; we do not control those and do not use them. Beyond fetching the page you are reading, the only deliberate transfers we make are to PostHog, if you choose to turn analytics on, and to Stripe, only if you choose to use the honesty box in the game — on its About screen, or on the high-score table once you have played ten games and put your name to a score.

Optional analytics

Analytics are off by default. The first time you open the game we ask whether we may turn them on; if you say no, nothing is sent, no analytics code is loaded, and we are not told that you declined. You can turn them on later from the Options screen, and until then nothing loads.

If you say yes, we use PostHog, our analytics provider, to understand how the game is played. We have configured it to collect as little as it can:

  • A single identifier, generated by the game on your own device rather than by PostHog. It does not say who you are. It says only that this browser has been here before, so we can tell a return visit from a first one. Two people sharing a browser look like one; the same person on a phone and a laptop looks like two.
  • A fixed list of events, for example that a game started or finished, the level you reached, your score, how long you played, which gadgets turned up, which screens you opened, and which settings you changed. None of it is free text.
  • Roughly what you are playing on: whether the screen is phone-sized, tablet-sized or bigger, whether you point with a finger or a mouse, and which of four broad size bands your window falls into. It is a band rather than an exact size because a precise window size helps identify a browser and a band does not.
  • The name you type into the high-score table is never sent. It stays in your browser's local storage, described above.
  • No session recording, no automatic capture of your activity, and no advertising.
  • Approximate location lookup from your network address is switched off.

PostHog processes this on their servers in the European Union, and keeps it for 90 days. Turning analytics off in Options stops any further events being sent and deletes the identifier on your device, so a later visit starts fresh; it does not reach back and remove events already sent to PostHog.

Paying through the honesty box

Paying is entirely optional. The game is free, and nothing is held back from anyone who does not pay.

If you choose to pay, the button takes you to a checkout page hosted by Stripe, our payment provider. You leave this site to do that. Your card details are entered on Stripe's page and processed by them. We never see or hold a full card number; what Stripe passes back to us afterwards is described below.

Stripe processes your payment and sets its own cookies on its own pages, under Stripe's privacy policy. Because the account is ours, Stripe then shows us the transaction: typically the amount, the date, your country, the last four digits of the card, and the name and email address you gave at checkout. Kuamka Ltd is a data controller for that information, and we keep it because UK company and tax law requires us to keep records of money received — currently six years.

We do not use it for anything else. We will not email you, we will not add you to a list, and we will not pass it to anyone other than our accountant and HMRC.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or object to how we use it. Where the law lets us delete it we will; where we are required to keep accounting records we will say so. Write to privacy@kuamka.com. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
