This Privacy Policy explains how TileGames.io, an independently owned website run by a private individual rather than a company, handles information. The short version is that there are no accounts, your game progress stays on your own device, and the only data that reaches anyone else is anonymous analytics.
Information collection
TileGames.io does not require an account. There is nothing to sign up for, no email address to give, and no profile to fill in. Your game progress is saved in your browser's own storage, never on our servers. We collect anonymous usage data, such as page views, to see which games people play.
Use of information
Anything collected is used only to keep the games working and to decide what to build next. We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you write to us directly, in which case we have your email address because you sent it.
Account deletion
There are no accounts, so there is no profile to delete. Your progress, your best scores and which puzzles you have finished live only in your browser's local storage, and you can remove all of it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings. The analytics described below cannot be linked back to you, so we are unable to find or delete data belonging to one visitor.
Cookies and browser storage
TileGames.io uses your browser's local storage to remember your game progress and your preferences. No personally identifiable information is kept in any of it, and none of it is sent to our servers.
Saved game progress
Every game with a previous games button saves its progress under a key of the formtg-io-{game}-game-{id}-{language}, where the id is the puzzle number shown next to the game's name. That is what lets you leave a puzzle part way through and come back to it, and what lets New Game skip puzzles you have already finished.
