BabaFox runs babafox.com and its games, Ballpark and Letter Burn. This page explains what information the games use and why, in plain language.
The short version
- You don't need an account to play. If you choose to create one, we keep only what's needed to run it.
- There are no ads, and we don't sell or share your information with advertisers.
- Most of what the games remember, like your streak and stats, stays on your own device.
If you create an account
Accounts are optional. If you make one, we store:
- Your email address and a display name.
- If you sign in with Google: the name and profile picture Google shares with us. We never see your Google password.
- If you sign up with email: your password, stored only in a scrambled form that can't be read back.
We use this only to sign you in and show your name on BabaFox. To stay signed in across babafox.com and the games, your browser keeps a sign-in cookie for babafox.com. You can delete your account at any time from the Account page, which permanently removes it.
What stays on your device
Both games save your progress, streaks, stats and settings in your browser's storage on your device. We can't see this information. You can delete it any time by clearing your browser's site data for the game.
What Ballpark sends to us
Ballpark sends a small amount of gameplay information to our database so it can show you how other players guessed. This includes:
- A random player ID created on your device. It isn't linked to your name, email or phone number.
- The puzzle day, the question number, your guess, how far it went, and which mode you played.
If you report a problem with a question, we also receive the question, the answer shown, the reason you picked and any note you write. Please don't put personal information in the note.
If you turn on daily reminders, we store what your browser needs to send you a notification, plus the reminder time and time zone you choose. Turn reminders off in the game's settings and we stop sending them.
What Letter Burn sends to us
Nothing. Letter Burn runs entirely in your browser and doesn't send your answers or scores anywhere.
Services we use
- Cloudflare hosts the website and games. Like any web host, it handles basic technical information such as your IP address to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.
- Supabase runs BabaFox accounts and stores Ballpark's gameplay information, question reports and reminder settings.
- Google handles "Continue with Google" sign-in, if you choose it.
We don't use advertising trackers. The only cookie is the one that keeps you signed in.
Children
The games are suitable for all ages and don't ask anyone for personal information.
Your choices
You can delete your account from the Account page, and clear your saved progress at any time from your browser settings. Clearing it also resets Ballpark's random player ID, so any future guesses can't be connected to your old ones.
Changes to this page
If we change how the games handle information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
