Privacy

Short version: you can play without an account and nothing leaves your device except anonymous counts. If you choose to sign in, we store your email address and your results, and set one essential cookie. No ads today, and we never track you as an individual.

• Accounts are optional. Without one there is no sign-up, no email address and no cookie.
• Anonymous counts. The game sends a few small events to its own server (for example: a visit, whether you have played before, a game started, a game finished with its score against par and whether a trap was hit, a share, a help or promo click). The server only adds one to a daily total for that event. It does not store your IP address, user agent, a user or device ID, or anything that links one event to another or to you. Because nothing identifies you, there is nothing to look up or delete.
• If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, the game sends no counts at all.
• Your progress, finished result, how-to-play flag, stats (games played, streaks, average vs par) and the "already counted today" markers that stop reloads being double-counted are saved in your browser's local storage on your device. They are not sent anywhere while you are signed out; only the anonymous counts above are.
• You can erase local data by clearing this site's data in your browser. The game still works if storage is blocked, but progress will not survive a reload.
• The Share button copies text to your clipboard or opens your device's share sheet, only when you press it.
• No advertising and no third-party requests today: the page loads only its own files. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may keep standard server logs, such as IP address and request time, for security and operations.

Optional accounts

You can sign in to keep your streak and results across devices. It is passwordless: you enter an email address and we send a one-time sign-in link, or you can use Google if that button is shown.

• What we store when you sign in: your email address (and the name Google gives us, if you use Google), and for each day you finish: the date, your moves, your score and par. If you had stats on your device when you first signed in, a one-time copy of those totals (games played, streaks, average against par). Your moves are checked by replaying them on our server, so the score we keep is one we computed.
• One cookie: a strictly necessary session cookie, set only after you sign in, so the site knows who you are. It is HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, and expires after 90 days or when you sign out. It is not used for tracking or advertising.
• Who processes it for us: Neon (Postgres database hosting) stores accounts and results; Resend sends the sign-in email; Google only if you choose Google sign-in, in which case Google tells us your email address and name. Cloudflare hosts the site.
• The anonymous counts stay anonymous. Sign-in events (opened, link sent, signed in, account deleted) are counted like the others, with no email or account ID.
• Deleting your data: open the account button, choose Delete account and confirm. That removes your email and all results from our database at once. Progress stored on your device is not touched; clear it in your browser if you want it gone. Signing out only ends the session. You can also email legal@onemoretorch.com.

If ads are switched on later

One More Torch may show one display ad. Before that happens this page will be updated, and in the EEA, UK and Switzerland a consent banner from a Google-certified consent platform will appear first. Ads load only if you agree where consent is required. Ad providers (such as Google) may then use cookies or similar identifiers to serve and measure ads, and receive your IP address and device details. The game stays fully playable if you decline or block ads, and the anonymous counts above stay cookieless.
