Privacy

The short version: 5 Second Game has no accounts. Your progress stays in your browser. The site counts visits, and if you ask for the daily email it keeps your address for that and nothing else.

On your device

Today's result, your streak and your sound setting are saved in your browser's own storage. They are not sent to us. Clear your browser data and they are gone.

Counting visits

The site uses Google Analytics to see how many people visit and play. Google sets cookies for this and receives details such as your browser type, your device and the rough area you are in, with IP addresses anonymized. We see totals, not people. A browser setting or extension that blocks analytics stops it, and the game works the same.

The daily email, if you want it

The game offers a morning email with the new target. If you type your address in, we send one email to confirm it and only add you once you click the link. We use the address for that email and nothing else. We do not sell it or share it. The emails are sent through Resend, a mail service, which stores the address for us. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and one click takes you off the list.

Hosting

The site is served by Vercel. Like any web host, it keeps short-term logs of requests, including IP addresses, to run the service and stop abuse.

Sharing

When you share a result, it is made on your device. Nothing is posted anywhere unless you send it.

The iPhone app

The app keeps your results, streak, stats and settings on your phone. There is no account, no analytics, and nothing is sent to us. Delete the app and they are gone.

The app shows ads from Google AdMob, never while you play: a banner on the result screen and at most one full-screen ad a day, between rounds. The ads are not personalized and the app does not track you across other apps, so it never asks for that permission. To show an ad, Google receives details such as your device type, your IP address and the rough area you are in, and counts views and taps. Where the law asks for it, as in the EU and the UK, Google's consent form comes first, and you can change your answer later in the app's Settings. Google explains its side at policies.google.com.

Remove Ads is a one-time purchase handled by Apple. We never see your payment details. Restore Purchases in Settings brings it back on a new phone.

The daily reminder is off until you turn it on. Your phone schedules it; it does not come from a server.

The Android app

It is on the way. This page will cover it before it ships.

Links to other sites

The game links to other daily games in the Daily Toybox, to One Page Toys and to synergyprod.com. Those sites have their own practices.
