This policy explains what MazePawn (“we”) collects when you play, why, and what you can do about it. It describes the service as it is actually built. If the service changes, this page changes with it.
MazePawn is run by one person in Pune, Maharashtra, India — an individual, not a company. For anything in this policy — including a request to see, correct or delete your data — write to [email protected], which is the contact point for every right described below.
Opening the site creates an anonymous guest account automatically. It holds a random identifier and a generated display name. We do not ask for your email, and we do not require an account to play.
If you later sign in, that guest identity is linked rather than replaced, so your rating and game history carry over.
Games against the computer, puzzles and the tutorial run entirely on your device and are not sent anywhere.
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people open the site and which pages they reach. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and does not fingerprint your browser or follow you to other websites — so there is nothing here to consent to.
What it reports is totals, not people: page views, which site linked to us, country, browser, and how quickly pages loaded. None of it is joined to your account, your rating or your games, and we cannot use it to single you out.
When the app hits an error we send a report to Sentry so that we can fix it. A report is the technical detail of the failure — what went wrong, and where in our code.
It is configured to carry no personal data: not your name, your email, your user id, your IP address, anything you typed, or the contents of any request we make. Web addresses are cut back to the page path before they are sent, so a sign-in link cannot take a token with it. We cannot tell from a report who you are.
We use Supabase to store accounts and game data, Cloudflare to serve the site and count visits as described above, Railway to run the game server, and Sentry to receive the error reports described above. They process data on our instructions. If you sign in with Google, Google receives that sign-in request.
MazePawn is free to play, and advertising is how it is meant to pay for itself. Any advertising here is non-personalised: ads are not chosen using your account, your games, your rating or your history, and no advertising profile is built from anything you do on this site. That is a deliberate limit rather than a description of what we happen to have wired up — it is why the section above says we build no profiles.
Ad cookies are a different thing from the visit counting described above, which sets none. Where the law requires your consent before an ad cookie is set, you will be asked first, and declining leaves the game fully playable. This page is updated before any change to how ads work here, not after.
Account and game records are kept while your account exists. In-game chat is discarded when the game ends. Guest accounts that are never signed into may be removed after a period of inactivity.
You can delete your account yourself, from inside MazePawn. On the web, open Account at the bottom of the left-hand menu; on a phone, open the More tab. It removes your account, rating, game history, friends and username straight away, and it cannot be undone. Games you have played stay in your opponents’ history without your name on them. If you are in the middle of a game, finish or resign it first.
You can also ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account by writing to [email protected], and we will respond within the time our law requires.
Depending on where you live you may also have the right to object to processing, to restrict it, or to complain to a supervisory authority. The law governing this service is that of India.
This service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
If this policy changes materially we will say so on this page and update the date at the top.
