Where's Orion? has no accounts and asks for no personal information. This page says what the game stores, what it sends, and what the advertising on it does.
What the game stores on your device
Your browser keeps, in its own storage for this site: a random player id made when you first played, the name you chose to show friends (if any), your daily scores and streak, the rooms you have visited, and whether you have seen the how-to-play panel. Nothing here identifies you. Clearing the site's data removes all of it.
What the game sends to our server
When you finish a daily, the game sends your random player id, your chosen name, your score and your round results to our scoreboard, so the day's standings and the "players today" count can be shown. In a room it sends the same for that room's round. Rooms are deleted after seven days; daily scores are kept for about a year. Our servers, on Amazon Web Services in the United States, keep ordinary access logs (addresses, times, pages) for a month for security and debugging.
Links you share
A challenge or room link contains the puzzle's seed, a score and the name you chose. Anyone with the link can see those. The preview card shown in chats is generated by our server from the puzzle; it carries nothing about you beyond that name and score.
Advertising
The game shows a banner advertisement served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and to measure them. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google's ads settings and read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before any such cookie is set, and can change their choice at any time from the privacy link on the game's home screen.
Children
The game is for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Because the only identifier we hold is a random id in your browser, the way to remove your data is to clear the site's storage; scores already on the scoreboard carry only that id and your chosen name. To ask for a score to be removed, or for anything else, contact Shrub Software through shrubsoftware.com.
