Privacy

Who we are

Remove Anything is a browser game made by a small team. We decide what happens to the information on this page, so in the law's words we are its controller. The form at the bottom of this page is the way to ask us anything about it.

What we keep, and why

Trying the demo

A guest has no energy. Your choices (whether you chose the demo, your answer about ads, your graphics setting and that you have seen the welcome panel) are kept in your browser's storage and never sent to us. They go when you clear your browser's site data, or with the Forget this browser button below. When a guest removes one of the demo values, the game tells our server which value, with nothing that says who you are, so the team can see which are popular.

Signing in with Google

When you sign in, Google tells us your email address, your name and a link to your profile picture. We keep those, your energy, when you joined and last played, how many things you have removed and how much energy you have spent, how many ads you have watched (and how many today, for the daily limit), which version of the terms you accepted, and any energy the team has given you. When you are about to watch an ad, we also keep a random one-time number with your email until the ad is paid out or an hour has passed. We use all this only to run your account: so your energy is the same on every device, and to stop the ad reward being cheated. A sign-in cookie keeps you signed in for 30 days; it holds your email, name and picture link, signed so nobody can forge it.

Google's own button runs on the sign-in page, and Google's privacy policy covers what Google does when you use it. We never see your Google password.

Who is playing right now

Every open game tells our server once a minute that it is open, with a random number made up for that game and whether someone is signed in. That lets the team see how many games are open. These check-ins are deleted after a few minutes.

Bug reports

If you report a bug, we receive what you write and your email if you give it. If you leave the box ticked, we also receive a small picture of the game, what you removed, the game's time and speed, and the last errors your browser met. The report is emailed to the team (through Netlify's forms) and kept in our own store, where the team can read it, mark it closed or delete it. Reports are deleted after 90 days at most. If your email is on a report, it is included in the download of your data and goes when you delete your account.

Errors

When the game hits an error, it sends the error's message and the version of the game to our server, nothing else: no email, no number that identifies you. The server groups identical messages and counts them, keeps the first and last time each was seen, and deletes them after 30 days. A few a visit at most are sent.

Counts

We keep daily totals: sign-ups, removals, energy spent, ads watched and the most players online at once, and a count of how often each value has been removed. None of it says who did what. We keep these totals for as long as the game runs.

Energy the team gives

When the team gives someone energy, we keep a note of the email, the amount, when and who gave it, so we can check our own work.

Ads

Signed-in players earn energy by watching a rewarded ad. The ads come from Google (AdSense for games), which may use cookies or similar technology on your device and receives information such as your IP address and the page you are on, under Google's own rules . Unless you said yes, when the game first asked or later on the settings page , the ads are not personalised. Where the law asks for it (the UK and the European Economic Area), Google's own consent message also appears, and what you choose there is between you and Google. We never give Google your name or email. We cannot see which ad you were shown. You can change your answer below at any time. Without an ad you cannot earn energy, but the demo still works.

Who else handles it

Netlify hosts the game and stores accounts and bug reports for us, on servers that may be outside the UK and Canada, under its data processing terms. Google handles sign-in and, through AdSense, the ads. Nobody else gets your information, and we never sell it.

How long we keep it

Your account stays until you delete it. Check-ins are deleted after a few minutes, unused ad numbers after an hour, bug reports after 90 days, errors after 30 days, and the note of a gift loses your email when you delete your account. The anonymous daily totals and removal counts stay.

Your rights

You can see everything we keep about you and take a copy, have it corrected (your name and picture come from Google: change them there and sign in again), have it deleted, and object to how we use it. If you think we have got something wrong, please tell us first; you can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada in Canada, or the data protection authority where you live.

Children

Anyone can try the demo, which keeps nothing about them. Signing in needs a Google account, and Google accounts are for people aged 13 or over (older in some countries). We don't knowingly keep information about younger children; if you think we have, tell us and we will delete it.

The terms

The rules of play are in the terms .
