Privacy

The data used to run HigherLower

This page explains the information the service processes, why it is needed, and the choices available to players.

Last updated July 26, 2026

Account information

If you register, the service stores your email address, display name, a one-way password hash, account status, and account activity needed for authentication, scores, and administration. Passwords are not stored as readable text.

Gameplay and analytics

The service records gameplay events, scores, page visits, referrers, device or browser details, and pseudonymous visitor and session identifiers. PostHog is used to understand traffic, feature use, errors, and where sessions end.

Security and abuse prevention

Cloudflare Turnstile helps distinguish people from automated abuse. Network addresses may be transformed into non-reversible hashes for rate limits, bans, fraud investigation, and security logs.

Messages and email

Support requests, password-reset messages, and related delivery details are processed to answer the request or operate the account. Transactional email is delivered through Resend.

Cookies and choices

Essential cookies keep sessions and security controls working. Pseudonymous analytics identifiers measure product use. Browser privacy signals supported by the service can prevent analytics tracking. You may also use the site without creating an account.

Access, correction, and deletion

Contact support to request access, correction, or deletion of account data. Some records may be retained when needed for security, abuse prevention, or an unresolved support or legal request.
