What Downfield collects

• No accounts, names or email addresses.
• When you answer a question, the game sends the answer and the question's ID to our database (hosted by Supabase) so it can count how often each answer is given. Answers are not linked to your name, device or account. Our hosting providers may keep standard server logs.
• If you tap "That should count," the answer you typed and the question are saved so we can review them.
• Your streak, stats and drive history are stored only in your own browser. Clearing this site's data removes them.

What we don't do

• We don't sell or rent personal information.
• The site doesn't respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, since it has no user profiles to act on.
• Downfield is not directed to children under 13.
