Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Binary Puzzle processes when you use www.binarypuzzle.space, why it is used, and what choices you have.
Last updated:
1. Who we are
Binary Puzzle operates the website at www.binarypuzzle.space. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to contact@binarypuzzle.space.
2. Information processed by the service
We designed the game to work without an account. The service may process:
- Local game data: puzzle progress, elapsed time, settings, theme, and Daily streak stored in your browser.
- Technical request data: IP address, browser type, request time, requested page, and security logs processed by our hosting infrastructure.
- Messages you send: your email address and the contents of a support or privacy request.
- Website analytics: Google Analytics 4 processes page visits, referral information, general device and browser information, interactions such as scrolling or outbound link clicks, and aggregate active puzzle-play time.
We do not ask for a name, account profile, payment details, or puzzle answers.
3. How we use information
We use technical data to deliver pages, prevent abuse, investigate errors, and keep the service secure. We use contact messages to answer the request you made.
We use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use our public pages and improve the site. We do not send your saved puzzle answers, local progress, or support messages as analytics events. Google signals and advertising personalisation are disabled.
4. Browser storage and cookies
Binary Puzzle uses first-party browser storage to remember game progress, settings, theme, and streaks. This information stays on your device and can be removed through your browser settings. This storage is separate from website analytics.
Google Analytics loads automatically on our public website pages. It uses the _ga and _ga_7VFEJH5JGE cookies to distinguish visits and sessions. We configure these cookies to expire after one year, renewed during use.
You can use your browser's privacy settings and extensions to limit analytics or remove stored data. Clearing site storage also removes saved game progress. Deleting cookies does not delete information previously sent to Google.
5. Sharing and sale
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. Hosting and security providers may process technical data only to operate their services for us. We may disclose information when required by law or when necessary to protect users, the public, or the service.
Google also processes analytics data to provide the service. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
6. Retention
Local game data remains until you clear it or your browser removes it. Hosting and security logs are retained for a limited period set by operational and security needs. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to answer, document, or resolve the request.
7. International processing
Service providers may process technical data in countries other than your own. When a transfer mechanism is legally required, we expect the relevant provider arrangements and safeguards to apply.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, and to receive a portable copy of certain information. California residents may also have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale or sharing. We do not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
Send a request to contact@binarypuzzle.space. Because most game data stays only in your browser, we may not possess information that can identify or retrieve that local progress. UK users may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
9. Children
The service is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child sent us personal information can contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
10. Security and changes
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. We may update this policy when the product, providers, or law changes. The effective date at the top will change, and material updates will be presented clearly.
