Name That Match is designed to be privacy-friendly. You can play every puzzle without an account or login.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which puzzles people enjoy and where the game can improve. It only runs if you choose Accept on the cookie banner - until then, no analytics cookies are set. If you choose Essential only, Google Analytics stays off.
Essential storage (your session ID, streaks, settings and login state) is always on - the game can't work without it, and none of it is used for tracking or advertising.
You can change your choice at any time via the Cookies link in the footer of every page.
Accounts are optional. You can sign in with an emailed link or with Google. If you sign up, we store your email address and link your scores, streaks and badges to your account so they sync across devices. When you sign in, the games you played on this device before signing in are moved onto your account.
Signing in with Google:Google shares your name, email address and profile picture with us. We only use your email address, but your name and picture are kept in your account's sign-in record. We never see your Google password, and we don't get access to anything else in your Google account.
Once you're signed in, the in-game events we record (such as sharing a result or turning on reminders) are linked to your account. You can ask us to delete your account and everything linked to it at any time by emailing us.
If you opt in to daily reminders, your browser's push subscription is stored on our server solely to send you notifications, along with which game you chose, your time zone (so it arrives at a sensible hour) and your anonymous session ID (so we don't remind you about a game you've already played). You can turn reminders off at any time in your browser settings.
We use Vercel for hosting, Supabase for our database and authentication, Google Analytics for opt-in analytics, and Google sign-in if you choose it (see Google's privacy policy). No data is sold or shared with advertisers.
You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, at any time - just email us. If you play anonymously, clearing your browser data removes your local history and disconnects your anonymous server records from you.
