Childhood, Inc.

Privacy

The short version: no sale of personal data, anonymous cookieless traffic measurement, and the game never asks who you are. Programmatic ads remain locked off until an approved account and certified consent process are configured. The full register is below.

What we store

Your game progress

Your browser creates a random identifier (cookie cid_pid). Plays, solves and streaks are saved against it. This is pseudonymised rather than anonymous: it contains no name, email or profile, but it can link your game history across visits.

Why
Keeping your streak and past results across visits. This cookie is needed for the game feature you chose to use, so it does not require a consent banner.
Legal reason
Legitimate interest (running the game you chose to play).
How long
The cookie lives 400 days from your last visit. Play history is kept while the identifier is active and deleted on request.
Where
This site's own database.

Sync codes

An 8-character code you can create to link a second device to the same play history.

Why
Device linking, nothing else.
Legal reason
Legitimate interest (a feature you invoke deliberately).
How long
Stored only as a cryptographic hash, single-use, expired after 24 hours.
Where
This site's own database.

Vercel Web Analytics

Anonymous page views and selected product events, plus route, referrer, coarse location, device, operating system and browser information. Query strings are removed by this site before transmission.

Why
Understanding which parts of the catalogue are useful and whether they work across devices. The data is not used for advertising or cross-site profiles.
Legal reason
Legitimate interest (anonymous, cookieless measurement).
How long
The daily visitor hash expires after 24 hours. Aggregate reporting follows the retention available on the project's Vercel plan.

Vercel Web Analytics.

Ads and your choices

Ads are off. The pages contain a few invisible spaces where an ad may appear later, but no ad network can load until the site is approved and its privacy checks are complete.

The newsletter and game stay separate

If Market Moves subscriptions open, your newsletter email will not be attached to your game history. Playing the game will not put you on a mailing list. The two records are not joined.

Delete your game data

You can delete this browser's game record here. Plays, streaks, sync codes and challenges are removed together. Daily puzzle totals remain because they do not identify a player.
