Oddorithm privacy policy

On your device

• Your progress, puzzle attempts (including how long each took, the clues you used and the checks you made), your reasoning test answers, the time you took on each question and your estimated IQ result, daily results and settings are stored in the game's private storage on your device. They are used to run the game, save your progress and show your results. They are never sent to Lanternbench.
• On Windows, Mac and Linux the game keeps them in an Oddorithm folder in your user data: %APPDATA%\Oddorithm on Windows, $HOME/Library/Application Support/Oddorithm on Mac and $XDG_DATA_HOME/Oddorithm on Linux, normally $HOME/.local/share/Oddorithm. Deleting the game does not delete this folder; delete it yourself to remove your progress.
• The browser version keeps its progress in your browser's storage for the itch.io page. Clearing the site's data removes it, and some browser settings stop it from being kept.
• Settings, Erase all progress deletes them, together with any share card image you saved. It keeps the purchase record, so a bought game stays unlocked.
• Uninstalling Oddorithm from a phone removes its data. Depending on your backup settings, Android or iOS may keep a copy in a device backup.
• When you save the share card, the image stays in the game's private storage. It is not uploaded anywhere.

Purchases

• On itch.io, Oddorithm is a paid download, and the reasoning test and the Pattern Foundry play free in the browser. itch.io processes the payment and hosts the downloads and the browser version under the itch.io privacy policy. The game never sees your payment details or your itch.io account.
• On Google Play, Oddorithm is free to download with one optional purchase that unlocks the rest of the game. Google Play processes the payment, and the game never sees your payment details. To confirm, acknowledge and restore the purchase, the game asks Google Play through Google's billing library, and stores the purchase token, whether it was acknowledged and when it was last confirmed on your device. Lanternbench does not receive these records.
• On the App Store, Oddorithm is a paid download with no in-app purchase. Apple processes the payment.
• Your store account and payment details are covered by the itch.io privacy policy, the Google privacy policy and the Apple privacy policy.

What Oddorithm does not do

• It contains no advertising, analytics, tracking or crash reporting.
• It has no Lanternbench account and sends nothing about your play to Lanternbench.
• It makes no network requests of its own. On Android, Google's billing library talks to Google Play for the purchase; the iPhone and desktop games use no network. The browser version loads from itch.io like any web page, and its link to the full game opens the itch.io page.
• Lanternbench does not sell or share player data.
• Oddorithm is a general-audience game and asks no one for personal details to play.

Support emails

• If you write to hello@lanternbench.com, Lanternbench receives your email address, your message and anything you attach, such as your device model or a screenshot.
• They are used only to answer you and to investigate the problem you report. The legal basis is Lanternbench's legitimate interest in answering requests it receives (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).
• Mail to lanternbench.com is forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to a Gmail inbox, so Cloudflare and Google process it on Lanternbench's behalf.
• Each conversation is deleted six months after the issue is resolved.
• You can ask to see, correct or delete your support emails at the same address. If you are in the European Union you can also complain to your data protection authority; in France that is the CNIL.

Changes

If a future version changes how data is handled, this policy will be updated before that version is published, and the effective date will change.
