A necessary browser cookie identifies this device so we can resume games and keep one daily result per game. It is protected against modification. We store game actions, results, dates and a generated guest name or the name you choose. Progress and streaks also use necessary browser storage. Clearing storage may lose access to this device's results.

New daily results appear automatically on the leaderboard with a generated guest name. You can optionally choose a name and country instead. The displayed name, optional country, score, game and date are public. Practice results are saved with a name but stay outside the public daily leaderboard. Today's custom name can be changed or replaced with a guest name from your result screen on the same device. For an older result, use Forget this device or contact us. Other players see full run details only after that board's day has ended. Do not put private contact details in your name.

New posts submitted through the public feedback board are anonymous and visible to everyone. The message, game or site context, date and vote totals are public; no name or device identifier is shown. We privately use the existing browser identifier to save your upvote or downvote, prevent duplicate votes and safely retry submissions. Older messages submitted as private are not automatically published. Do not include personal contact details or sensitive information in a public post. Forget this device removes its public posts, private feedback and votes; you can also contact countrivo@gmail.com to request deletion.

To limit repeated naming and reports, we store a daily salted hash of the request's network address. The hash changes each day; the raw address is not stored in our game tables. A feedback report stores the post, a predefined reason, your device identifier, the daily network hash and its review status. These reports are private to the operator. Public feedback has an automated offensive-language check, which is not a substitute for reviewing reports. You can report a post or hide an author's feedback and leaderboard entries on your browser. We may hide posts or prevent an abusive device from publishing feedback and names. A moderation ban identifier may remain after saved results are removed, for as long as needed to prevent repeated abuse and handle appeals.

Vercel hosts the site and provides aggregate, cookieless web analytics and performance measurements. Supabase stores game records and private usage statistics. We reuse the existing device identifier to understand page navigation, game starts and accepted actions, completions, leaderboard controls, sharing and the feedback flow. Interaction events contain only predefined categories, never typed guesses, player names, feedback messages, full URLs or network addresses. A small pending event queue uses this tab's session storage and retries after play or typing has settled. No extra tracking cookie is created. These services also process technical request information to deliver and protect the site. Countrivo has no advertising trackers.

Saved game records remain available for daily locks, your progress and the archive until you remove them with Forget this device or request deletion. After 90 days, usage events are removed by a daily cleanup that runs when new usage data arrives or administration is opened. Forget this device removes its usage events as well as saved games and feedback. Reports, abuse-prevention records and historical account records are kept only while needed for their stated purpose or a legal requirement. We review moderation records when handling reports and appeals. Browser activity, streak and game instruction cookies expire after one year; the necessary device cookie expires after two years unless cleared earlier.

Sharing a challenge exposes only its game, date, version and score, not your device identifier or answers. Anyone with its link can see that score. A calendar reminder is an optional file you choose to import into your own calendar; Countrivo does not receive your calendar or email address through this feature.

Earlier versions offered accounts. New games no longer require or offer login. Historical account records remain in a separate database; email countrivo@gmail.com to ask about access or deletion of those records.

Use Forget this device below to remove its saved games, names, feedback posts, votes, usage events and reports it submitted, along with its block relationships and Countrivo browser storage. Reports and votes attached to its deleted feedback posts are also removed. This does not remove retained moderation-ban identifiers, historical account records or hosting-provider records. Contact us to request information, correction or deletion of personal data. You may also complain to a data protection authority.

Countrivo uses necessary cookies for this device, daily progress and the streak, plus one that remembers when you have finished your first Country Draft so its instructions stop showing. We do not use advertising cookies. Your browser can block or clear cookies, but daily progress and saved results may then be unavailable.
