Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ucantaffordit.com (the "Site," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you play our daily New York City rent-guessing game. We built this game to be fun and lightweight, and we collect as little information as possible.

Information we collect

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or any other personal contact details to play.

• On-device data. Your language preference, light/dark theme, sound setting, and your game history (past guesses and scores) are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This information stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
• Basic server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. These logs are used for security, troubleshooting, and understanding aggregate traffic.

Cookies and local storage

We use browser local storage to remember your preferences and progress. We do not set our own tracking cookies. However, third parties such as our advertising partner may set cookies as described below.

Advertising

We display ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

For more information about how Google uses data, see Google's Privacy & Terms.

Third-party services

We rely on a small number of third-party services to run the Site:

• Cloudflare for hosting and content delivery.
• Google AdSense for advertising.
• Map tiles and libraries (such as Leaflet and OpenStreetMap) to display listing locations.

Listing details and photos shown in the game are drawn from publicly available real-estate listings and belong to their respective owners. Each of these services has its own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Children's privacy

This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

You can clear the data stored on your device at any time by clearing your browser's storage for this Site. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings, and you can control personalized advertising using the links above.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect the Site, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Because we do not collect accounts or personal profiles, the amount of information at risk is minimal.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
