2. Overview
GeoNerds is a free geography game. We keep data collection to a minimum: there are no ads, no tracking and no analytics cookies. Most data stays only on your device.
3. Local storage
Your settings (language, sound, theme), game progress, scores and badges are stored in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to us. You can clear it at any time from the settings page or by clearing your browser storage.
4. Optional account & leaderboard
Only if you voluntarily sign in do we store your chosen name, a hashed passcode and the game results you submit on our server in order to show the global leaderboard. Please don't use your real name if you wish to stay anonymous. You may request deletion of your account at any time by email.
5. Hosting
The site is hosted by Vercel Inc. (USA). When you visit, the server processes technically necessary access data (e.g. IP address, time, requested page) for delivery and security. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure operation).
6. Fonts
Fonts are served locally from our own server (self-hosted). No requests are made to Google Fonts or other third parties.
7. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact julius.v.ingelheim@gmail.com.
