Privacy

The game needs nothing from you. There are no accounts. Your results stay on your device, except a finished daily game, which goes to an anonymous leaderboard.
Measuring visits
This site uses Google Analytics to measure visits, such as how many people come and which pages they view. Google Analytics uses cookies or similar identifiers to do this, and Google processes that data under its own terms.
Your game results
Your daily streak, best scores, recent games, chosen viewing time and any unfinished daily game are saved in your browser's localStorage, on your device. Practice games and games from a challenge link are not sent anywhere. A challenge link you choose to send contains only your score and the puzzle id. When someone opens one, the score after the # stays in their browser.
If you use Copy result, the text goes to your device's clipboard, and it only leaves your device if you paste it somewhere yourself.
Leaderboard
When you finish a daily game, your browser sends the date, your viewing time and the five colors you mixed to our leaderboard. Our server works out the score from those colors. We store that score, your colors so the score can be checked, the date, a random ID your browser made up, and a generated name such as Swift Otter. There is no login and you never type anything for it. We do not store your name, email address or IP address. To stop people flooding the board, a short-lived scrambled value based on your connection is kept for at most a day and cannot be turned back into an address.
The random ID sits in your browser's localStorage. To clear it, use Clear data under Your stats, or clear this site's data in your browser; you will get a new ID next time. Scores already on the leaderboard stay there unless you ask us to delete them: email the address below with your ID, stored under rememberthecolor.lb.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard request data, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, in order to deliver the site and keep it secure.
Advertising
The site does not show ads at the moment. Advertising partners may be added in future, and this page will be updated if that happens.
Clearing your data
Clear data, under Your stats on the menu, erases your results and leaderboard ID in this browser. Export code gives you a copy of your progress to keep; it stays on your device unless you move it yourself. You can also clear this site's data in your browser's settings (usually under site data, cookies or privacy). This permanently removes your streak, best scores and history from that browser, and it also removes cookies set on this site. You can block or delete cookies in the same place.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
