Privacy policy

This policy explains what happens to information when you use gomoku.teamgugu.com (the “site”), a free Gomoku game. The short version: there are no accounts, we never ask for your name or email address, and the game itself works without storing anything about you on our servers beyond what an online game needs while it runs.

Information stored in your browser

The site keeps a few settings in your browser's local storage so they are remembered next time: your preferred rules, AI level and stone colour, and whether sound, move numbers and two-tap placement are switched on. It also creates a random, anonymous session id so that, if your connection drops during an online game, you can return to the same seat. You can clear all of this at any time by clearing the site data in your browser.

Games against the AI and Pass & Play

The AI runs entirely inside your browser. Moves you play against the AI or in Pass & Play are never sent to our servers.

Online games

For Quick Match and games with a friend, your browser connects to our game server, which runs on Cloudflare. While a game is open the server stores the room code, the moves, the clocks, the rules and the anonymous session ids of the two players. Your opponent sees your moves but never your session id. Rooms that nobody has used for 24 hours are deleted automatically. There is no chat.

Advertising

The site shows ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and to measure them, based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn how Google uses this information atHow Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, and turn off personalised advertising in Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising ataboutads.info. Where the law requires it, Google asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown.

Fonts

The typeface is loaded from Fontshare (api.fontshare.com and cdn.fontshare.com). Like any web request, this tells Fontshare your IP address and browser details.

Hosting and logs

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like most web hosts, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses and request details to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. SeeCloudflare's privacy policy.

Children

The site does not knowingly collect personal information from children and has no feature that asks for it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will change too.
