The short version

What we keep, and where

WhatWhere it is keptWhy
Your game: answers, Mistake Notebook, streak, stars, drops, outfits, practice test results In your browser’s storage, on your device So the game remembers you between visits
Account, if you make one: email address, a password (stored only as a scrambled hash) or your Google sign-in, and the display name you choose Our database, run by Supabase To sign you in and show your name
Progress in the original app at /app: practice history, review queue, saved words, and any score report numbers you entered Our database, tied to your account So your study history follows you between devices
Anonymous usage counts: which screen was opened, whether a page was turned in, how many were right, and how many days since this browser first played Our database, under a random id your browser makes up To see where people get stuck and whether practice brings them back
Feedback and chat reports you send Our database, with your account email To answer you and to act on reports

Anonymous usage counts

Each count holds an event name, the screen name (for example “/play”), the site you arrived from (only its name, such as google.com), a few numbers about the event, and a random id kept in your browser. It holds no name, email address, account id or IP address, and nothing you type. We use our own database for this and no outside analytics or advertising service.

If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, nothing is counted. Clearing your browser’s site data removes the random id.

Study Hall and friend matches

In the Study Hall and in matches, other players see your display name and your mascot’s outfit. Messages are passed along live and are not stored by us. Typed messages are checked on your device before they are sent, and again when they arrive, and messages with insults, contact details, links or personal questions are blocked. Typing needs a signed-in account so that a report can name the sender. Please do not share your full name, school, address, phone number or social media handles in chat.

Payments

Practice is free and buying water drops is not open yet. When it opens, card payments will be handled by Stripe. We will receive a record of the purchase (which pack, the amount, the date), and we will never see or store card numbers.

Other companies involved

We share data with these services only so that Clarity can run. We do not give or sell personal data to advertisers or data brokers.

Cookies

Clarity sets no advertising or tracking cookies. It uses your browser’s local storage to keep your game, your sign-in session and the random id described above.

Children and teens

Clarity is meant for students aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not create an account or use the chat. If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before making an account, and a parent or guardian must make any purchase. A parent who believes a child under 13 has given us personal information can ask us to delete it.

Seeing, changing or deleting your data

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to a copy of your data or to object to how it is used. Ask the same way and we will help.

How long we keep things

Account data stays until you ask us to delete it. Anonymous usage counts are kept so that we can compare one season with the next. Chat messages are not stored at all.

Changes

If this page changes in a way that matters, we will change the date at the top and say so on the front page.
