Ramayana — The Journey Home

Privacy

What the online game keeps about you, and why.

Signing in

You sign in with Google to play. Signing in lets you resume where you left off and puts players who finish the journey on the leaderboard. The pages of this site can be read without signing in.

Signing in sets one session cookie (HttpOnly, Secure) that keeps you signed in. It holds a random session id and nothing else; it lasts 30 days from when it was last renewed, and signing out removes it.

What we store

Sign-in: Google sign-in gives us your account id (stored only as a one-way code) and your name. We keep your first name with one initial (for example Abhishek M.), shown on the Jai Shree Ram page. No email and no photo.

Play: your saved journey (to continue where you stopped), the time of each scene measured by the server (for the list of the fastest), and play events: which scenes you start, finish, retry or leave, your language setting, touch or desktop, and session length (to see where players stop). Play events are deleted after 180 days.

Your game progress and your leaderboard entry are stored.

No other user identifier is stored. Your settings and a copy of your progress are also kept in your browser on your device.

Analytics

Google Analytics is used to count visits to the site and the game. Google Analytics sets cookies; a notice on each page tells you about them.

Google Analytics (when it is switched on): counts visits and plays. It starts on the sign-in page, so visits that leave before signing in are counted too. No user identifier is sent to it apart from what Google sign-in gives us; Google signals and ad personalisation are off.

Advertising and sale of data

There is no advertising. Your data is not sold.

Deleting your data

Delete my data: Controls & sound, then Delete my data. It removes your account record, save, times, play events and your name on the Jai Shree Ram page at once.

Hosting

The game is served by Cloudflare. To deliver pages and to limit abuse, Cloudflare processes your IP address.

Cloudflare runs the server and the database. If Cloudflare Web Analytics is switched on, it counts page visits without cookies.

Children

The game is for all ages. Sign-in uses Google accounts, under Google’s own age rules.
