PRIVACY
Last updated: September 15, 2026
Our Commitment to Privacy
At Mystery Hockey, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and services.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, such as:
- Email addresses (if you choose to subscribe to updates)
- Feedback and comments you submit
- Any other information you choose to provide
Information Collected Automatically
Mystery Hockey is a fully static website with no advertising. To understand how the site is used and improve it, we use:
- Simple Analytics: privacy-first page-view statistics without cookies or personal data
- Microsoft Clarity: session insights such as heatmaps and anonymized interaction recordings to help us improve usability. We also log anonymized game-interaction events (clue navigation, puzzle navigation, guess attempts) as Clarity custom events. These contain puzzle dates and counts only — never your guesses, answers, or contact details.
Like most websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) also processes basic request logs for security and performance purposes.
The only data the site stores is on your own device, in your browser:
- Your game progress, results, and statistics (saved in localStorage so you can resume puzzles)
- Your keyboard visibility preference
This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to us. Clearing your browser data removes it.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and improve our services
- Respond to your inquiries if you contact us
- Ensure the security and integrity of our services
Cookies and Tracking
Simple Analytics does not use cookies. Microsoft Clarity may set first-party cookies and collect usage data to generate heatmaps and session recordings. The game also saves your progress and statistics in your browser's local storage, which you can clear at any time through your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
Mystery Hockey relies on the following third-party services to operate:
- Cloudflare: Hosts and delivers the website (static content and assets)
- GitHub: Hosts the open-source repository
- Simple Analytics: Privacy-first website analytics (no cookies, no personal data collection)
- Microsoft Clarity: Heatmaps and session insights to improve site usability
These third-party services have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they handle information.
Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we have about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of marketing communications
- Withdraw consent for data processing
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically for any changes.
