Privacy

What we collect (almost nothing) and how to get it back (a single button).

What we do not collect

No names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifying information.
No account — the game requires none, and there is no signup form anywhere on the site.
No third-party advertising trackers, no Facebook Pixel, no Google Analytics on the marketing site by default.
No cross-site cookies. The game itself uses zero cookies.

What we do collect

Game state in localStorage — your in-progress game (cards held, facilities built, pollution counter) is saved in your browser so a refresh does not wipe a session. This data never leaves your device.
Facilitator analytics — if you enable the facilitator analytics toggle in settings (off by default), the game records aggregated per-session metrics (rounds played, endings reached, archetype distribution) in localStorage. Used to generate the in-game post-session debrief. Never transmitted off-device unless you manually export the JSON.
Hosting analytics (Vercel Analytics) — if enabled in production, Vercel Web Analytics records aggregate pageviews using a privacy-preserving model (no cookies, no fingerprinting). This is enabled at the hosting layer and disclosed here for completeness.

Data export

Every byte the game has stored on your device is exportable as a JSON file from the in-game settings panel:

Open the game.
Open Settings (gear icon).
Press Export My Data. A JSON file downloads.
Press Clear All Data to wipe localStorage. The game returns to first-load state.

Hosting

The marketing site (this domain) is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The game subdomain (play.wattsandwealth.online) is hosted on Vercel. Both providers may log standard HTTP request metadata (IP address, user-agent, timestamp) for routine network operations and abuse prevention. We do not augment those logs with any identifier of our own.

Changes to this policy

If the data-collection story ever changes — for instance, if a future feature requires server-side state — we update this page first and the feature is opt-in. The web edition will never silently start collecting more than it does today.
