Your Data
What we keep, who sees it, and how to download or delete it. Updated October 25, 2026.
In the Game
- Download everything: account menu → Account settings → Your data → Download my data. You get one file with all we keep about your account.
- Delete your account: account menu → Account settings → Your data → Delete my account.
- Choose who sees your stats, matches and achievements: account menu → Edit profile → Banner, title, showcase and privacy.
Playing without an account
Your settings, saved games, the scenarios and Brains you make, achievements and progress are kept in your browser on this device. They don't reach us. To remove them, clear this site's data in your browser's settings.
If you play an item from the Community as a guest, we count the play once a day using a scrambled code made from your IP address, not the address itself, and delete it after 30 days. If you join an online game as a guest, your guest name is shown to the other players and kept in their match history, and what you say in the game's chat is kept in its replay.
When you sign in, the progress you made as a guest on this device joins your account. So does an online game you played as a guest in the last 24 hours: the server sends that device a one-time code for it, keeps only a scrambled copy of the code, and forgets it after 24 hours.
While the Game is in closed beta, you can ask for an invite on the beta page. We keep the name, email address (optional) and message you send only to answer you, then delete them 14 days after we answer, and after 90 days at most. They aren't linked to any account.
With or without an account: when the Game hits an error, it sends a technical report (the error message, where in the Game it happened, and the browser type) without your name or account. It is used only to fix bugs and kept up to 90 days.
With an account
| What we keep | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Username, display name, portrait, colour, level, rank, banner, title | Your identity in the Game | Everyone |
| Password (as a hash) and two-step sign-in secrets | To sign you in safely | Never shown to anyone, staff included |
| Email address (optional) | To reach you about your account | You and our moderators |
| Settings, scenarios, Brains, achievements, career, experience | So your progress follows you to every device | You (achievements also as you choose) |
| Online game results, replays (with the chat sent during the game), ratings | Match history, rankings, fair matchmaking | As you choose for your profile; the other players in each game |
| Your Daily Map wins (your best number of impulses each day). The moves of a game you send in are checked and then thrown away | The Daily Map board | As you choose for your stats; you |
| Friends and requests | Friends list, invites, who's online | You and those friends |
| What you publish, your comments, ratings, bookmarks | The Community | Everyone (bookmarks: only you) |
| Your inbox (notes about what happened to your account) | So you see what you missed | You |
| Support messages, reports, moderation actions | Helping you and keeping the Game safe | You and our moderators |
| Screenshots you attach to a ticket (kept with the ticket) | Helping you with that ticket | Only you and our moderators |
| Supporter plan and dates, Stripe customer number | Your supporter extras, payment records | You and us (Stripe keeps your payment details) |
| Beta tester status, and the invite code your account was made with (closed beta) | Who may play during the closed beta; the Beta tester badge | Everyone (the badge); you and our admins (the code) |
More than one account on one device: the progress on a device (scenarios, Brains, achievements, career) belongs to one account at a time. If you sign in to a different account there, the device switches to that account's progress; nothing of the first account is copied into it. The first account keeps its progress in its own account, and anything of it that hadn't synced yet is kept on the device and synced the next time you sign in to that account there.
Downloading your data
The download is a single JSON file (readable in any text editor, and by other programs) with your account details, profile, cloud progress, friends, match history, ratings, Community items with their content (a very large one is listed without it: open it from the Community page), comments, bookmarks, reports you filed, support tickets and replies (screenshots are listed by type and size; open the ticket in the Game to see them), supporter status, moderation actions on your account, your inbox and your Daily Map wins. For your security it leaves out your password hash, sign-in tokens and two-step secrets; it says whether two-step sign-in is on.
Deleting your account
You'll be asked for your password (and a two-step code if it's on). Deletion can't be undone.
What is removed
- Your account, sign-ins, profile and everything synced to it
- Your friends and requests
- Everything you published to the Community, your comments, ratings, bookmarks and the reports you filed
- Your support tickets, their replies and the screenshots you attached
- Your inbox
- Your Daily Map wins
- Any running supporter subscription, which is cancelled first
What stays
- Online games you played with other accounts stay in their history, with your name replaced by "Deleted player" and no link to your account. The replays of those games still show the name you played under and the chat you sent during the game, as part of the game, for as long as the replay is kept. Games no other account played in are deleted, with their replays.
- Moderation records, as a record of what happened.
- Payment records Stripe and we must keep for tax and accounting, including Stripe's customer record for you (with your username).
- Copies of your shared scenarios or Brains that other players already saved to their own devices.
- Anything still in your own browser on your devices, until you clear it. If you sign in to another account on that device, it joins that account, like a guest's progress.
