DAILY MAZE

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 July 2026

Daily Maze is built to be played without an account, and we collect the minimum needed to run a fair daily leaderboard.

What we store

• An anonymous player ID. On your first run, your browser generates a random identifier that is saved in your browser's local storage and on our server. It is not linked to your name, email, or any real-world identity.
• Your runs. For each daily attempt we store your completion time, step count, restart count, and the exact sequence of moves you made (the "input log"). Input logs exist so the server can verify runs and so other players can watch the day's best run as a ghost replay.
• A display name, if you choose one. Claiming a name is optional. Names are shown on the public leaderboard with a number tag (e.g. doge#4821). Don't use your real name if you don't want it public.
• Live positions (not stored). While you play, your in-maze position is broadcast to other players currently running the same maze so they can see an anonymous "ghost" of you. These broadcasts use a random per-session identifier, are never linked to your player ID or name, and are never saved.

What we don't do

• No account or email is required to play.
• We don't sell or share your data with data brokers.
• We don't run analytics trackers or fingerprinting scripts.

Local storage

We use your browser's local storage (not tracking cookies) to remember your anonymous player ID, your in-progress run (so a crash or reload doesn't destroy your attempt), and your name. Clearing your browser data removes these — which also means a new anonymous identity and a lost streak.

Advertising

If ads are enabled on this site they are served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads; visitors in the EU/UK will be shown a consent dialog (a Google-certified consent management platform) before any non-essential cookies are set, and can choose non-personalised ads. See how Google uses data from partner sites.

Where data lives

Game data is stored with Supabase (hosted PostgreSQL) and the site is served by Vercel. Both act as processors for the data described above.

Retention

Daily results are kept indefinitely so the archive and streaks work. Input logs of rejected or flagged runs are kept for moderation.

Your rights (GDPR)

You can request a copy of the data tied to your player ID, or ask us to delete it, by writing to the address on the contact page. Include your player ID (shown on the result screen leaderboard as your name tag). Deletion removes your runs from the leaderboards.
