Privacy Policy
1. No player account
Kaling does not ask regular players to create an account or provide an email address or password. Administration is separate and restricted to an authorised operator.
2. Data kept on your device
Your browser stores a randomly generated guest identifier, your nickname and country if you set them, favourite song identifiers, the equipped note skin, language and gameplay preferences, and Progressive Web App prompts. This data stays in browser local storage until you clear it.
3. Data sent to Kaling
When you submit a score, Kaling stores the score, grade, combo and related gameplay result together with the guest identifier. If you choose a nickname or country, that public profile information can appear with your results on leaderboards.
Kaling records successful page views, in-app navigation, game starts and completions, result sharing, and clicks to its official streaming profiles. Click reports include the platform, button location and song page, not listening activity on those external services. The first-party report does not store raw IP addresses, full user-agent strings, personal profile information or analytics cookies. A salted visitor hash changes daily and is not designed to follow a visitor across days. First-party analytics respects browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals.
4. Google Analytics
Kaling loads Google Analytics 4 for aggregate usage and gameplay measurement. Google may receive browser, device, interaction and approximate location information and may use cookies or similar identifiers under Google's own privacy terms. Kaling does not use this data to send marketing email or sell personal information.
5. Why the data is used
- Operate gameplay, save submitted scores and publish leaderboards.
- Remember settings and favourites on the current device.
- Measure whether pages work, where visits come from and which search or answer-engine crawlers read the site.
- Prevent abuse and improve performance, reliability and content.
6. Hosting and disclosure
Kaling is hosted on Replit and uses service providers needed to deliver the website, database and analytics. Information may be processed where those providers operate. Kaling does not sell personal information or share it with third-party advertisers.
7. Retention and your choices
You can remove locally stored profile data by clearing kaling.app site data in your browser. Server traffic events are retained for up to 180 days. Submitted leaderboard scores may be retained to preserve rankings; contact us with your guest identifier if you want to ask about deletion of associated scores.
8. Contact and updates
Privacy questions and deletion requests can be sent to kil@arsonist.dev. This policy may change when Kaling's data practices change; the current update date appears above.
