Overview
Play First, No Sign-Up Needed
TicTacToe.now is built to work without collecting personal information. You don't need an account. You can play every game on the Site, from classic tic tac toe to the strategy modes, without telling us who you are.
The Short Version
We store a few anonymous game stats, keep basic server logs, and only collect your name and email if you choose to contact us. That's it.
What We Collect
Here's a quick summary of the four things we might store, and where each one lives:
| Data type | Where it's stored | Identifies you? |
|---|---|---|
| Session scores | Your browser (localStorage) | No |
| Gameplay stats | Our server, anonymized | No |
| Contact form details | Our server | Yes |
| Access logs | Our server, temporary | Indirectly (via IP address) |
Information Stored in Your Browser
Your session scores (wins, draws, losses per game mode) are saved in your browser's localStorage. This is a small storage space built into every browser. The data never identifies you and never needs to leave your device. Clearing your browser data removes it.
Anonymous Gameplay Statistics
When a game finishes, the Site may record anonymous statistics: the game mode, the outcome, the number of moves and how long the game took. These records skip names, account identifiers and anything else that could point back to you. We use them to see which modes people enjoy most.
Contact Form
If you use our contact form, we store the name, email address and message you submit so we can reply. We never use these details for marketing, and we never share them with third parties.
Server Logs
Like almost every website, our servers keep standard access logs. That means your IP address, browser type and the pages you requested, kept for security and troubleshooting. Logs are held for a limited period, then deleted.
Cookies
What We Use
The Site sets one minimal session cookie. It protects forms against a type of attack called cross-site request forgery, which is a security issue and not a tracking tool.
What We Don't Use
We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies of any kind. Nothing follows you to other websites.
What We Don't Do
- We don't sell or rent any data to anyone.
- We don't require registration or collect names, birthdays or payment details.
- We don't track you across other websites.
Children's Privacy
Safe for All Ages
The Site is suitable for all ages, including kids working through our printable and beginner-friendly games. Because we collect no personal information during play, children can use the Site safely.
Using the Contact Form
The contact form should be used by, or with the help of, a parent or guardian, since it's the one place on the Site that asks for an email address.
Your Rights
Access, Correct or Delete Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold. In practice, that only covers contact-form submissions, since it's the only personal data we keep.
