Uncle WhyPrivacy
The game
Uncle Why uses a nickname and password to create your game account. The service stores account identifiers, a password hash, progress, answers and match results needed to run the game, friends and challenges, rating and character collection. It does not require an email address to play.
On your device
The game stores your session and preferences, including language and audio, in browser storage. Practice data can also be kept locally so you can continue learning. Clearing site storage or switching devices may remove local settings.
Services
Cloudflare hosts the websites and game services. Supabase stores game data in the United States. These providers process connection information needed to operate and secure their services.
Website measurement
The public website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure visits and page performance. This helps us understand which pages people use and identify loading problems.
Existing launch list
If you previously joined the launch list, it stores your email, signup date, device and operating-system categories, and country estimated from your connection. Cloudflare stores this list and Resend delivers its emails. Each signup is also emailed to our team. The signup service uses a short-lived hashed network identifier to limit spam.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the launch list through the link in its emails. Unsubscribing stops launch emails; you can also contact us to request deletion of your record or ask about game account data.
