TL;DR: We don't collect, store, or share any of your personal data. Everything stays on your device. No cookies, no tracking, no analytics.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Reason.ovh. Your privacy is critically important. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use this website and service.
Reason.ovh is designed as a privacy-first educational tool. No personal information about users is collected, stored, transmitted, or shared.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
We want to be crystal clear about what we don't do:
- No personal information: We don't ask for or collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information.
- No user accounts: We don't require registration, login, or account creation.
- No tracking cookies: We don't use cookies to track your behavior across the web.
- No analytics: We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking services.
- No IP address logging: We don't log or store your IP address.
- No device fingerprinting: We don't create unique identifiers to track your device.
3. How Your Data is Stored
All of your game progress, stats, and preferences are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. This means:
- Your data never leaves your browser or device
- We have no access to your game progress or statistics
- No data is transmitted to our servers or any third parties
- You have complete control over your data
What is Stored Locally?
Your browser stores the following information on your device:
- Game progress and answers for Dojo and Daily Gavel
- Statistics (accuracy rate, total questions answered, streak counts)
- Daily challenge completion status
- Your performance breakdown by fallacy category
Managing Your Data
Since all data is stored locally, you can:
- Clear your data: Use your browser's "Clear browsing data" feature and select localStorage
- Export your data: Unfortunately, we don't currently offer an export feature, but your data is accessible via browser developer tools if needed
- Delete your data: Clearing your browser's localStorage for Reason.ovh will permanently delete all game progress
4. Third-Party Services
We use minimal third-party services for basic site functionality:
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
We load the following libraries from CDNs for styling and icons:
- Bulma CSS (jsdelivr.net) - CSS framework
- Font Awesome (cdnjs.cloudflare.com) - Icon library
- Animate.css (cdnjs.cloudflare.com) - Animation library
These CDNs may log basic connection information (like IP addresses) according to their own privacy policies, which are outside our control. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies if this is a concern.
Social Sharing
Our "Share" buttons open social media platforms in new windows. When you click these buttons, you're subject to the privacy policies of those platforms (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit). We don't track or receive any information about your sharing activity.
5. Children's Privacy
Reason.ovh is appropriate for users of all ages. Since we don't collect any personal information from anyone, we are compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Parents can feel confident that no data about their children is being collected or shared.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
Since we don't collect contact information, we can't notify you directly of changes. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
7. Your Rights
Since we don't collect or store any personal data about you:
- There is no data to access, correct, or delete on our end
- You have complete control over your locally-stored data via your browser settings
- There are no data portability concerns since all data remains on your device
8. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA):
We don't process any personal data as defined by GDPR. All game data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to us. Therefore, GDPR data processing obligations don't apply to our service.
9. International Users
Reason.ovh can be accessed globally. Since no data is collected or transmitted, there are no international data transfer concerns. Your data stays on your device regardless of your location.
Summary: Reason.ovh was built to respect your privacy completely. Your data is not wanted, not collected, and not shared. Your game progress is yours alone, stored safely on your own device.
