Summary
WitRally has no accounts and no passwords. We keep only what is needed to run a team leaderboard, and nothing is sold.
Who runs WitRally
WitRally is run by Illustrosoft LLC, a company based in the United States.
What this device remembers
This browser remembers the teams you have joined or created, so the Today page can list them with their player counts and today's results; your stats (puzzles played, streaks and times); and your settings (theme and Hint button). Nothing lists your teams by name on our server, and no other browser can see your list. To remove a team from the list, tap Remove on its row on the Today page; this changes only your browser. Clearing your browser's cookies forgets everything on this device.
Your game data
We keep the team name, the display names players type, and each player's puzzle times and hints on our server. This is how a refresh, a later visit or joining a team keeps your time. Names and times are visible to anyone who has the team link, and anyone with the team link can rejoin under an existing name. A cookie in your browser remembers which player you are; we store only a hash of it. Solo play is remembered the same way, with a cookie that is not tied to a name. Teams with no solved puzzle for 90 days are deleted automatically with their players and results. An organizer can remove a player and their results at any time.
Visit counts
We keep only page-view totals, top pages and referrers. Our web server writes no access logs, and the content delivery network's access logs are deleted after 3 days.
Why we use this information
To run the daily puzzle, show the leaderboard, keep the service working and limit abuse. IP addresses are kept only as salted hashes for 1 hour, to limit how many teams one visitor can create.
Who else handles it
Our hosting and content delivery providers handle data on our behalf so the service can run. We do not share it with anyone else, and there are no analytics or third-party scripts.
Emails you send us
If you email us, we keep the message for 180 days and then delete it. We use it only to answer you.
Advertising and cookies (not active yet)
Ads are not shown on WitRally yet. The only cookies set today are the player cookies that remember you as a player (on a team or playing solo) your time zone, the organizer key for teams you created, your list of removed teams and your settings; they are needed for the game to work, and none of them is for ads. When ads are switched on they will come from Google AdSense, and this section will apply:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, and opt out of some other vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
- Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
- If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will be asked for your choice in a consent message before any advertising cookie is used, and you can change it later.
Your rights
You can ask us to delete your data, or an organizer can remove you from a team. Wherever you live, we will honour reasonable requests to see, correct or delete what we hold about you.
