Privacy policy

This section explains what data is processed when using Geo Nerd, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Without an account

No personal data is sent to the server. Your progress, best scores and preferences (sound, language) are stored only in your browser's local storage, on your device. You can clear them at any time from the saves menu or your browser settings.

With an account

Creating an account is optional and only lets you find your progress again on several devices. It involves storing, on the server (hosted by OVH, in France), your email, username, password (hashed, never stored or read in plain text) and scores. This data is never sold or shared with third parties, and is never used for advertising profiling.

You can request deletion of your account and data at any time by writing to contact@geo-nerd.com.

Cookies

Creating an account sets a single session cookie (technical, required to stay logged in, never read by third parties). Geo Nerd may also use Google Analytics to measure site audience (pages viewed, traffic source), without advertising profiling or data resale; see Google's privacy policy.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data. To exercise it, write to contact@geo-nerd.com. You can also file a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr).
