Privacy policy
Last updated: 9 November 2026
- You never give us your name, email or any account details. The game gives you a random, anonymous game ID.
- We collect your scores and how you play (for example, which level you reached), so we can verify scores and make the game better.
- No ads. No tracking across other apps or websites. We never sell or rent your data.
Who we are
inkorrect is a free puzzle game made by Anthony Young, an independent developer in Victoria, Australia ("we", "us"). Contact us at [email protected].
What we collect
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Anonymous game ID. A random ID created on your device the first time you play, plus a random account ID used by our game server. | To keep your scores and results together, and to work out which shared link brought a new player. |
| Gameplay results: scores, the level reached, daily challenge results, and the colour you tapped in each round. | To check scores are genuine (our server replays each game) and to show the global best score. |
| Gameplay events: things like starting a game, finishing a level, unlocking a trophy, tapping Share, and changing a setting (such as sound or colour-blind patterns). | To understand how the game is played and improve it, for example which levels are too hard. |
| Basic device information: device type, operating system, app version, screen size and language. | To fix problems on particular devices. |
We do not collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location or advertising ID.
IP addresses. Like any internet service, our providers receive your device's IP address when the game connects. Our analytics provider is set to discard it; an approximate country or city may be worked out from it at that moment. Our game server provider may keep it briefly in security logs to protect against abuse. We don't store it with your game data.
What stays on your device
Your progress, trophies, streaks, stats, settings and any friends' results you paste into the friends board are stored on your device. Friends' names you type there never leave your device. Deleting the app deletes this data.
Who processes the data
We use two service providers, who process data only on our behalf:
- Supabase (game server and database), hosted in Sydney, Australia.
- PostHog (product analytics), hosted in the European Union.
We don't share your data with anyone else, except if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Analytics events are kept for up to 2 years. Scores and daily results are kept while the game is running, so global and daily results stay accurate. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see below).
Your choices and rights
You can ask to see or delete the data linked to your game ID. In the game, open Settings → Your data to find your player ID, then email it to [email protected]. Because we don't know who you are, the ID is how we find your data. We'll reply within 30 days.
Depending on where you live, you may have more rights, for example under the Australian Privacy Act or the EU and UK GDPR. You can also complain to your privacy regulator (in Australia, the OAIC).
Children
inkorrect is a general-audience game and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, at any age: the game works without any.
Security
All data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Our database only lets each game ID read its own records, and scores can only be saved by our server after it has verified them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date above. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the game.
