Privacy Policy

Effective July 17, 2026 · applies to the Pinpoint Iran — City Hunt Chrome extension, v1.1.0 and later

Pinpoint Iran is a geography game. It exists to be played, not to gather data about you. This page describes everything the extension stores and transmits, which is short because there is very little of it.

What the extension collects

Only if you choose to save a score to the leaderboard, the extension stores:

• The nickname you type when saving a score (up to 14 characters, chosen freely by you).
• Your game results: best score, cities found, game mode, number of games played, and the date of your last saved game.
• An anonymous session identifier created by Firebase Authentication. It is a random ID with no connection to your name, email, Google account, or any other identity. Its only purpose is to make sure nobody else can modify your leaderboard entry.

If you never save a score, nothing is transmitted anywhere.

What the extension does not collect

• No browsing history, page content, or activity on any website.
• No email address, real name, account, or contact information.
• No location data — the game is about geography, but yours is never read.
• No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no tracking of any kind.

Where data is stored

Leaderboard entries are stored in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore), operated by Google LLC on Google Cloud infrastructure and protected by security rules that allow each anonymous session to modify only its own entry. Your local score history and settings are stored on your own device using Chrome's extension storage and never leave it.

Who can see your data

The leaderboard is public by design: the nickname and game results you save are visible to every player of the game. That is the entire purpose of saving a score. Your anonymous session ID is not displayed to anyone.

Selling and sharing

Nothing is sold, rented, or shared with any third party. Data is not used for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, or any purpose unrelated to displaying the game leaderboard. This will not change.

Retention and deletion

Leaderboard entries are kept so the board stays meaningful over time. To have your entry deleted, email the address below with the nickname and approximate date of your score, and it will be removed. Uninstalling the extension deletes all local data immediately; your anonymous session cannot be recreated afterwards.

Children

The extension is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information beyond a self-chosen nickname. Players are free to use any nickname that identifies nothing about them.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the extension changes what is collected, this page will be updated before that version is released, with a new effective date above.
