Privacy Policy

• We collect what the games need: your account details, your answers and scores, and a little technical data to keep the Site running.
• No ads, no ad tracking, no analytics trackers, and we never sell or rent your information.
• Your username and your results are public on the Site. Your email address and password are not.
• Email us to delete your account or ask what we hold about you.

fiveit.win (the "Site") is operated by Mark Bufanio, a sole proprietorship in Pennsylvania, United States (LLC pending), referred to as "we", "us" or "our". This policy explains what we collect when you use the Site, including the installable web app and any native app shell, and what we do with it.

Account details. If you create an account: your username, your email address and your password, which we store only as a secure hash. You can change all three in Settings.

Gameplay. The answers you submit, the scores and results for each game, grading overrides you request, streaks, badges, trophies, league memberships and standings, achievement unlock dates and the theme you pick. Together these make up your profile and your place on the leaderboards.

Results kept on your device. The games keep each day's results, your theme, a few preferences (such as which panels you folded away or which cards you dismissed) and any question you answered through a shared link in your browser's storage. When you sign in on a device, the results stored there are added to your account once.

Cookies. A session cookie keeps you signed in, a longer-lived cookie remembers your sign-in between visits, and a small cookie remembers that you have seen a game's instructions. We use no tracking, advertising or analytics cookies.

Notifications. If you turn on push notifications, we store the subscription or device token your browser or phone gives us so we can send them. Turning notifications off removes it from use.

Technical data. Our servers log IP addresses, browser and device type, the pages requested and timestamps, and use IP addresses to limit abusive request rates. If an error occurs, an error reporting service may receive technical details of the request (never your password).

We do not collect payment details (support is through an external link), precise location, or other sensitive information.

• To run the games: grade answers, keep streaks and statistics, award badges and trophies, run leagues and leaderboards, and build the share text and images you ask for.
• To keep you signed in and to send account email, such as a password reset link to the address on file.
• To send push notifications you have turned on, such as a daily reminder.
• To improve grading. Wrong answers may be reviewed, without your name, to decide whether an alternate spelling should count.
• To keep the Site secure, fix errors and prevent abuse.

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling or marketing, and we do not send newsletters.

Your username is public. With it, the Site shows:

• your profile: statistics, play calendar, badges, trophies and recent scores;
• the leaderboards: your rank and totals in points, perfect scores, games played, average score, streaks and badges, for the month and all time;
• inside each of your leagues: your daily trivia scores, override counts and standings, visible to that league's members;
• the league leaderboards, which show league names and commissioners' usernames;
• fivals: active players are drawn a weekly rival by default, and you can switch that off in Settings. Your rival sees your username and your trivia scores for that week. Your profile shows the number of rival weeks you have won, never how many you lost.

Your email address, password and notification details are never shown to anyone. Share text and images are created only when you ask for them, and you decide where they go.

We do not sell, rent or share your personal information for others' purposes. The services that help us run the Site handle data on our behalf:

• our hosting and database provider, in the United States;
• an email provider, for password resets and account email;
• push notification services run by your browser or device maker, for notifications you turn on;
• an error reporting service, if enabled, for technical error details.

Beyond that, we disclose information only when the law requires it, to protect the Site and its players, or as part of a transfer of the Site to a new operator, who would be bound by this policy.

Account and gameplay data is kept while your account exists, because streaks, statistics, league history and trophies depend on it. When you ask us to delete your account, we remove your account details and personal data within 30 days. Scores may remain in a league's past standings without your name. Server logs are kept for a short period for security and then discarded.

• Update: change your username, email address, password and theme in Settings at any time.
• Notifications: turn push notifications on or off in your browser or device settings.
• Device storage: clearing your browser's site data removes the results and preferences kept on that device.
• Access or delete: email fiveit.win@gmail.com from your account's address to ask what we hold about you or to delete your account.

If you live in California, you have the right to know what we collect, to delete it and to opt out of sales; we do not sell personal information. If you live in the EU, UK or EEA, we process your data to provide the service you signed up for and for our legitimate interest in keeping it running and secure, and you may ask us to access, correct, delete or export your data, or complain to your local data protection authority.

The Site is hosted in the United States. If you use it from elsewhere, your data is transferred to and stored in the United States.

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, email us and we will remove it.

When this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date at the top. Questions or requests: fiveit.win@gmail.com.
