Privacy

Last updated 27 October 2026.

The short version

• You do not need an account, an email address or a password to play.
• Atlaspong sets no cookies of its own and shows no ads. To see how the game is used it runs Microsoft Clarity, a free analytics tool, which sets its own cookies. See "Analytics" below. Kid mode never uses it.
• We keep as little as we can, for as short a time as we can. This page says what, why and for how long.

Who runs Atlaspong

Atlaspong is run by Yashovaats Karnani in Gurugram, Haryana, India. You can write to Yash080301@gmail.com about anything on this page.

What stays on your phone or computer

The game saves a few things in your browser's storage (called local storage) so it can remember you. These stay on your device and are not sent to us:

• the age we worked out from the birth year you chose (we do not keep the year itself),
• your settings, such as light or dark and the difficulty,
• your game stats and the facts you have already seen,
• a short log of what you did in the game, used only on your device,
• a parent PIN, stored scrambled (hashed), if a parent set up kid mode,
• the friends room you are in, if any (the room code and a private ticket),
• if you join a leaderboard, a random private ticket for your nickname.

You can delete all of it at any time: open Settings and choose "Delete all Atlas data on this device". The game also keeps its own files on your device so it opens faster. That is not tracking.

What we send to our server today

We use a database service called Supabase. Our database is in a data centre in Mumbai, India (region ap-south-1). Three things reach it:

1. Play counts. When a normal game ends, your browser sends the names of the places that were played, so we can see which places need better facts. Nothing about you goes with it: no name, no id. Kid mode never sends this.
2. Friends rooms. Rooms are for players aged 13 and over, and are not available in kid mode. If you make or join a room we store the nickname you type (2 to 14 characters), a random private ticket that stays in your browser so you can return to your seat, and the places played in that game. A room lasts one hour. Nicknames in it are then wiped and the tickets renewed. The clean-up runs when someone makes a new room, so on a quiet day it can take longer. If you leave the lobby, your name goes at once.
3. Leaderboards. See "Nicknames and leaderboards" below.

Our hosting company, Vercel, sends the game's files to your browser. Like every host, it keeps ordinary server logs (such as your IP address and browser type) for a short time. We do not use them to identify players.

Voice answers (optional). The microphone button uses your browser's own speech feature. In some browsers, such as Chrome, the browser sends the audio to its maker's speech service to turn it into text. Atlaspong never receives or keeps the audio.

Nicknames and leaderboards

Nicknames and boards are for players aged 13 and over, outside kid mode.

• To appear on a board you choose a nickname. It is public. Anyone can see it with your best scores. Do not use your real name, your school or anything personal.
• There is no email and no password. Your device keeps a random private ticket. Once, we show you a recovery code. We store only scrambled (hashed) copies of both. We cannot look the code up: if you lose it, we cannot give your name back on a new phone.
• We also store when you joined, when you last played, your best scores for the week and for all time, and the list of moves of your ranked games so we can check that scores are real. Move lists are kept 30 days and game records 120 days. Weekly boards are kept 26 weeks.
• One nickname can be used on up to 5 of your devices.
• If you do not come back for 120 days, your nickname and scores are deleted.
• You can delete your nickname, scores and tickets yourself: tap your name on the home screen, then "Delete my data".
• We may remove a nickname or a score that is rude, personal or not real.
• The boards are for fun. There are no prizes.

Analytics

We use Microsoft Clarity to learn which screens are confusing and where the game breaks. Clarity records taps, scrolling, the pages you visit, your device and browser type, and a rough location. It can replay a visit as a short video. What you type in the answer box and nickname boxes is hidden from the replay. We also send three event names, "game started", "game ended" (with how many places the chain had) and "Atlas Pro screen viewed". Clarity sets its own cookies. Microsoft processes the data for us under its own privacy statement.

Clarity is never loaded in kid mode, and it is not loaded for players who told us they are under 13. If you want it off, use your browser's tracking protection or an ad blocker, and the game still works.

Children

• Kid mode is for young children with a grown-up beside them. A parent sets a PIN. In kid mode the game sends nothing to our server, there are no nicknames, no boards and no rooms, and no analytics.
• Players under 13 who use the normal game against the bot send only the play counts described above. They cannot use friends rooms, nicknames or boards.
• Parents: if you have a question, or want something removed, write to Yash080301@gmail.com.

Your choices

• Delete everything on your device (see above).
• Delete your board name and scores from our server with "Delete my data" (tap your name on the home screen).
• Ask what we hold about you, or ask us to remove it: write to Yash080301@gmail.com. Because there are no accounts, tell us the room code and roughly when you played, and we will look for it.
• If something is wrong, write to Yash080301@gmail.com. We reply within 7 working days.
