Privacy Policy

How we handle data for registered players of the browser extension game.

What data does the game collect and use?

Tally (the browser extension and API) stores and uses the following data to create gameplay for registered players only.

Email address Used to create and secure player data.
Game achievements Anonymous game achievements (Attacks, Badges, Disguises earned, Consumables found, Monsters battled, and Trackers blocked) are stored to display ranks in the leaderboards.
Page content Tally stores and uses non-personally identifiable meta-content (the URL, title, and h1 tags) from web pages players visit to match them to monsters, badges, and other game items. For example, a page like this may yield tags like, `devices, amazon, tiger, kids, dot, echo` that match the Internet of Things monster. We do not store the connection between URLs and player accounts, only the tags.
Game metrics Tally stores anonymous quantitative information about player activity to create in-game achievements. For example, every kilometer a player scrolls can level-up the “Long Distance Scroller Badge,” while the time a player spends on social media websites can increase their “Stalker Badge” rank.
Cookies The Tally game API uses cookies for authentication.
Account personalization Players may personalize their profile with an avatar and/or short phrase. Players are strongly encouraged NOT to enter personal information in these fields.
