Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Carry the One (https://carrytheone.fun/) collects, why, and what you can do about it. It is written to be read rather than to be technically unassailable, and it describes what the site actually does.
What is collected
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address | To identify your account, confirm it is yours, and let you reset a forgotten password. |
| Username | Shown to other players on leaderboards and in rooms. Pick something you are happy for other people to see. |
| Password | Stored only as a cryptographic hash. It cannot be read back, by me or by anyone else. |
| Scores, levels and match results | To build your personal bests, your recent games list and the public leaderboards. |
There is no analytics package on this site and no tracking pixels of my own. I do not know what you look at, only what you score.
What is stored on your device
Signing in places a long-lived sign-in token in your browser’s local storage. It is what keeps you signed in between visits, and it works exactly like a cookie for this purpose. Signing out removes it. If the game is installed to your home screen, an offline copy of the app is also cached so solo play works without a connection.
Advertising
This site is free and is paid for by advertising. Ads are served by Google AdSense on the menu screen and on the two results screens. There are no ads during a game.
- Google and its partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other sites.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors entirely at aboutads.info.
- More detail is in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
If you are in the UK or the EEA you will be asked for consent before any personalised advertising cookies are set, and you can change or withdraw that choice at any time.
Who your data is shared with
It is not sold, and it is not shared for marketing. It is handled only by the services needed to run the site: the web host, the email provider that delivers confirmation and password-reset messages, and Google for advertising. Your username and scores are public to other players by design — your email address never is.
Children
The Kiddo difficulty is easy enough for children, but accounts are not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, write in and it will be removed.
How long it is kept
Account data is kept for as long as the account exists. Rooms and their results are cleared automatically a few hours after the game finishes. Ask for deletion and the account, its scores and its history are removed permanently — this cannot be undone.
Your choices
- See what is held about you. Ask and you will be told.
- Correct it. Username and email can be changed from within the game.
- Delete it. Ask and the account and everything attached to it is removed.
- Play without ads tracking you. Use the opt-out links above.
For any of these, email jayantchoraria4@gmail.com.
Security
Passwords are hashed, never stored in a readable form. That said, no site can promise perfect security — please do not reuse an important password here.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
