# Privacy Policy

Komyo Games · last updated 2 July 2026

The short version: there are no accounts and no Komyo server that stores anything about you. Your game data stays in your browser, on your device. Nothing leaves it unless you tap Accept on the cookie banner — that enables Google Analytics and anonymous score posts to our public Discord (your nickname only with an extra opt-in in Settings). Decline and nothing about you is collected or sent.

This is a plain-language summary of how Komyo Games handles data. It's written to be honest and readable rather than exhaustive legalese.

## 1. Who we are & how the site is hosted

Komyo Games (komyo.online) is a small, independent catalogue of self-contained browser games. There are no logins or accounts, and we don't run a database or server that stores your personal information. The site is served by GitHub Pages and its content-delivery network (Fastly); like any web host, they process basic technical request data — such as your IP address — in order to deliver the pages to you. That is standard hosting, not data that Komyo collects or keeps.

## 2. What's stored on your device

Your game scores, progress, favorites, display name, and settings are saved in your browser's local storage, on your device only. We never receive or see this data. It stays until you clear your browser data, use Reset all data in ⚙️ Settings, or replace it via Export / Import in ⚙️ Settings.

## 3. Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics to understand which games are popular and how the site is used. It loads only after you accept the cookie banner — if you decline, no analytics script runs and no analytics cookies are set.

When enabled, Google Analytics collects standard usage data (pages viewed, approximate location from your IP address, device and browser type, and similar) and processes it on Google's servers as our data processor. We use it only in aggregate, we don't sell data, and there are no ads. See Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out by declining the banner, clearing cookies, using your browser's privacy controls, or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

Beyond page views, we also send a few anonymous, aggregate events so we can improve the site — for example: whether sound or music is turned on or off, which daily/weekly challenges are shown and completed, which games and modes are played, which cosmetics are bought with trophies (so we can tune the prices), and which features are opened (such as the profile, changelog, FAQ, newsletter, feedback form, or the export/import backup tool). These are counts only — they are not tied to any account or personal profile (there are no accounts), and they are sent only if you accepted the cookie banner. They help us answer questions like "should music be on by default?" or "is a challenge too hard?" without collecting anything that identifies you.

## 4. Cookies

The only cookies are those set by Google Analytics, and only after you consent. Your consent choice itself is remembered in local storage (not a cookie) so we don't ask again on every visit.

## 5. Scores shared to Discord

When you finish a game, your score (a small score-card image with the game name and points) can be posted to our public Komyo Games Discord so players can see recent runs. This is consent-gated in two steps:

- If you haven't accepted the cookie banner, nothing is sent at all. The post is a request from your browser to Discord's servers — which, like any web request, exposes your IP address to Discord — so we don't make it without your consent.
- With cookie consent, posts are anonymous: the card says "anonymous" and contains nothing about you beyond the score itself.
- Your device nickname is attached only if you additionally turn on "Show my nickname in Discord score posts" in ⚙️ Settings. That nickname is a random, playful one (e.g. "Sneaky Otter") assigned on your device — not your real name or identity — unless you typed your own in the menu (✏️); we never ask for your real name.

Posts are rate-limited to about one per minute per player. See Discord's Privacy Policy for how Discord handles data on their side.

## 6. Things you choose to send us

- Newsletter: if you subscribe, the email address you enter is sent to our email provider (Kit) to deliver occasional updates. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and we don't use your address for anything else.
- Feedback: the feedback form is handled by Web3Forms, which forwards your message (and any contact details you include) to our inbox so we can read and reply. We use it only to respond.

## 7. Other services & links

The site links out to services that have their own privacy policies and that we don't control — including GitHub (hosting & source), Discord, and Buy Me a Coffee (optional donations).

## 8. Where your data is processed, and for how long

The providers above (Google, Kit, Web3Forms, Discord, GitHub) are based in the United States, so when a feature uses one of them your data may be processed there, under their standard data-protection terms. Analytics is retained only for a limited period and in aggregate; newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe; feedback is kept as long as needed to respond; and the data on your device stays until you clear it.

## 9. Children

Some Komyo games are made for younger players, and the site is family-friendly: no ads, no chat, no payments, and no sign-ups. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. Because analytics is optional, a parent can simply decline the cookie banner so no analytics runs at all. If you believe a child has sent us personal information (for example, an email to the newsletter), contact us and we'll remove it.

## 10. Your choices

You can decline analytics on the cookie banner, clear or reset your on-device data at any time, export it for your own backup, and unsubscribe from the newsletter whenever you like. If you're in a region with data-protection laws (such as GDPR or CCPA), the practical effect is the same: we hold no account or server-side personal data about you, and analytics is opt-in.

## 11. Contact

Questions? Use the Feedback option in the menu, email news@komyo.online, or open an issue on GitHub.

## 12. Changes

We may update this policy as the site evolves; the date at the top reflects the latest version.
