Privacy, in plain words.

Toys need no account

Every toy and rabbit hole works without signing in. Your bubble count, button presses, best do-nothing time and the “wasted” clock are saved in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device, and clearing your browser data deletes them.

Playing as a guest

When you start playing a toy, you join the leaderboard as a guest: a random animal name, remembered by a cookie in your browser. A guest account holds only that name, the time you spend actively playing and your approximate country and city — no name, no email, nothing about you. Clearing your cookies forgets it.

Optional sign-in, to claim your name

If you choose to sign in with Google, your guest time moves to your account and we receive and store your Google account ID and your email address. That’s all — we don’t receive your name or photo.

• Your email is private. It’s never shown on the site, never shared or sold, and we don’t send you emails. We keep it only to identify your account.
• On the board you’re an animal. You appear as a silly alias and animal avatar, which you can change at any time.
• What we record: how much time you spend actively playing Rush’s toys, and your approximate country and city, which Cloudflare provides with each request.
• Delete it any time. “Delete my account” on the leaderboard page erases your account, email address, alias and all your recorded time.

The live globe

While Rush is open, your browser checks in now and then (when the page opens, every few minutes, and when you leave) with a random ID stored in your browser. That puts a dot on the leaderboard’s globe at your approximate location, rounded to about 10 km, and removes it when you leave. Visitors who aren’t signed in are anonymous dots; signed-in players show their animal alias. Check-ins older than a day are deleted.

Anonymous analytics

We use PostHog to count page visits and a few anonymous events (for example, “a sheet of bubble wrap was cleared”) so we know which toys people enjoy. We don’t sell or share data with advertisers. Your browser’s tracking protection or an ad blocker will switch this off, and every toy still works.

Cookies

Once you play (as a guest or signed in), we set one cookie to remember your spot, plus a short-lived one during Google sign-in to protect against forgery. Neither is used for tracking or advertising.

Sharing

When you press share or copy, the text goes to your device’s share sheet or clipboard. Rush doesn’t see where you send it.

Hosting

Rush is served by Cloudflare, which processes standard request data (such as IP addresses) to deliver pages and protect against abuse. Leaderboard data is stored in Cloudflare’s database service.
