Privacy policy

Last updated 13 October 2026. This policy explains what data Orb Challenge (orbchallenge.com) collects and how it is used. If you have a question, contact us.

What we store when you play

On your device. We store a random anonymous device ID, your results and your chosen name in your browser's local storage so the game can remember you. This is not a cookie and it is not shared with advertisers.
On our servers. To run the game and leaderboard we store the anonymous device ID, your puzzle times, strikes and, if you choose one, a leaderboard name. We do not ask for your real name, email address or location to play.
Leaderboard names are public. If you pick a name it can appear on the leaderboard and, in future, in our videos. Do not use your real name or personal information.
Sync codes. The sync code lets anyone who has it use your progress on another device. Keep it private.

Advertising and cookies

We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can manage personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Where required (for example in the UK and EEA) we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies for advertising, and you can change your choice at any time.

Hosting and service providers

The site is hosted on Vercel and game data is stored with Supabase. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy terms. Server logs (such as IP address and browser type) may be kept briefly by these providers for security and reliability.

Children

Orb Challenge is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

You can ask us to access or delete the data linked to your device ID and name. Email us with your sync code or leaderboard name and we will remove it. If you are in the UK or EEA you also have rights under data protection law, including the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes

We may update this policy as the site grows. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
