🌙 Privacy
The short version 🌙
We collect as little as possible. No email, no password, no real name, no ads, no tracking.
What we keep
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| The player name you type at the Founders' Table | to show you at the table | until you ask us to remove it |
| Your seat number and the date you joined | to run the Founders' Table seat cap | same |
| A scrambled copy of your invite token — a one-way hash, never the token itself | to let you back in, and to let us take a seat back | same |
| If you came in with a one-time invite code: that it was used, the date, and which seat it made — plus a scrambled copy of the code, never the code itself | so a code can only be used once | same |
| Game records: tiles played, scores, the tile back and helmet you chose | so a game survives a server restart instead of vanishing | deleted when the game ends, or after 2 hours with no play |
| A cookie on your device holding your invite | so you don't type a code every visit | 30 days |
That is the whole list for the Founders' Table: a name, a seat number, a join date and a hash — plus, if you used a one-time code, a scrambled copy of that code and the date it was used. No address, no email, no device information, nothing else.
What we do NOT keep
- No IP-address logs and no visit logs. Your address is held only in memory, briefly, to stop floods and spam, and is never written to disk.
- No email, phone, location, contacts or payment data.
- No third-party analytics, ads or trackers. The game loads nothing from other companies.
Who sees it
Nobody else. We don't sell or share data. It lives on our own rented server in the USA.
Kids
Astrominoes is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Your personal return link
Your return link — the one shown once when you took your seat — works like a key: anyone who has it can sit in your seat, we only keep a scrambled copy so we cannot resend it, and we can revoke the seat on request. 🔑
Your choices
Ask us to remove your name and seat at hello@astrominoes.com. Clearing your browser cookies signs you out.
