Privacy Policy

When you create an account:

• Your email address
• Your first name
• A password (stored securely by Supabase — we never see it in plain text)
• Whether you opted in to receive our weekly puzzle email

Automatically:

• Basic usage data via Vercel Web Analytics (privacy-first, no cookies, no personal identifiers)

We do NOT collect:

• Payment information (we sell nothing on this site)
• Location data
• Device fingerprints
• Advertising identifiers

• Email address: to send you the account confirmation email, and — if you opted in — the free weekly puzzle newsletter. We use Resend to send transactional emails.
• First name: to personalise emails ("Hi Maurizio").
• Marketing consent: we only send marketing emails if you explicitly checked the opt-in box at signup. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send.
• Usage data: to understand which games are popular and improve the site. This data is aggregated and never linked to your identity.

We use the following services to operate the site:

These services may process your data on servers located in the United States.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Withdraw consent to marketing emails at any time
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, email us at: privacy@watercoolerpuzzles.com

To delete your account, go to your account settings page or email us directly.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law.

This site does not use tracking cookies. Vercel Web Analytics is cookieless by design.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version.
