Privacy and leaderboard rules
You can play without an account. Only if you want to save your score on the leaderboard do you sign in with Google and choose a nickname. Here is, in short, what we keep and why.

What we keep
If you play without an account
Nothing that says who you are. Your own device (not our servers) keeps the language, your record, whether you saw the tutorial and your answer to the stats question.
Anonymous stats
How each game goes: the round you reach, how it ends, time, points, device type, system, browser, language, smoothness and game errors, and your approximate country, region and city from the network. We never keep your IP or your name. If you answer YES to the menu question, your device also keeps a random number so we can tell when you come back; with NO, it doesn't.
If you save your score with Google
Your nickname, when you accepted these rules and your saved runs (points, round, duration, game stats, PC or phone, language and date). To sign you in, our provider keeps your Google account id and your email; Google also sends it your name and profile picture, which the game does not use or show.
What everyone sees
The leaderboard only shows your nickname, your best score, the round and your place. Never your email, your name or your Google account.
Why
- To save your runs under your nickname and show them on the leaderboard: that is what you ask for when you press SAVE MY SCORE.
- To keep the leaderboard fair: checking runs and keeping every nickname unique.
- To improve the game with the anonymous stats (how far people get, what breaks).
We don't sell your data, there are no ads, and we don't use it for anything else.
Who helps us
- Supabase: database and sign-in. Servers in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany).
- Cloudflare (United States): hosts the website and the game's server; it handles your IP to serve the page and stop abuse, but we don't keep it.
- Netlify (United States): only sends the game's old address to the new one; it handles your IP for that and nothing else.
- Google: the Google sign-in (under its own privacy terms) and the page font (Google Fonts).
For how long
- Your account, nickname and runs: for as long as you keep the account. You can delete it whenever you want.
- The run that waits while you sign in with Google: 4 hours at most, on your device.
- The anonymous stats: 2 years at most.
- The old leaderboard (Season 0, hand-typed names, no accounts) is archived and no longer shown.
Your rights and how to delete your account
Delete your account: on the end screen of a game, while signed in, press Delete my account and confirm. Your nickname, all your runs and your Google sign-in are deleted. You can also ask by writing to headsrescueadmin@gmail.com from your account's email.
You can ask us to see your data, correct it (for example, change a nickname), delete it, take it with you or object to its use, by writing to the same email. If we don't answer properly, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).
Leaderboard rules
- Fair play. No cheating: no changing the game or what it sends, no bots or programs that play for you.
- One account per person.
- We check the runs. The server checks every run; odd-looking ones are held for review and may not be shown. If someone cheats, we delete those runs and the account is taken off the leaderboard.
- Your nickname has 3 to 12 letters or digits (also . _ -) and is unique: «Sántí», «SANTI» and «S.ANTI» count as the same. No insults, and no pretending to be someone else or HEADS. It can't be changed from the game, and we may remove one that breaks these rules.
- Seasons. The current leaderboard is Season 1; we may start new seasons.
- No prizes. The leaderboard is for fun: there are no official prizes inside the game.
