Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 20th of July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Intoit, owned and operated by JuiceTheory (“we”, “us”, or “our”), collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you access or use the Intoit games and website located at intoit.no (“Service”).

By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: (A) anonymous gameplay data, and (B) account-linked data. Where an account exists, all anonymous data is associated with that account.

1.A Information Collected Without an Account (Anonymous Use)

When you play anonymously, we do not use cookies and do not collect your email address or any personal identifiers beyond what is strictly necessary to operate the Service.

The following information is collected as you play, depending on the game mode:

• Classic (Daily and Archive): for each completed stage — the elapsed time, your tile placements at the moment the stage is completed, the words you formed, whether the word limit was disabled, whether a hint was used, and whether the game was paused;
• Maze (Daily and Archive): the date and time of each attempt (including attempts that are not completed), and, on completion, your final tile layout and the words along your completed path;
• Endless: run results, such as your score, and the difficulty settings used;
• Shop: the date you first open the shop each day (used to understand how many players browse the shop — no browsing behaviour beyond this is recorded).

In addition, the following is collected across all modes:

• Anonymous ID stored locally on your device (browser local storage);
• Submission date/time.
• Last active date/time.

This data enables the game to show your results, generate statistics, detect inactivity for hint prompting, and support gameplay functionality.

1.B Information Collected With an Account (Google Sign-In Required)

If you choose to create an account, the following data is collected in addition to the anonymous data above:

• Email address (provided by Google)
  • Used to uniquely identify the account;
  • Used to verify ownership in the event of an account deletion or support request;
  • We never send email to this address. It is stored only, not used for any form of communication.
• Nickname / first name (initially read from Google to pre-fill the field; you are prompted to change it on first sign-in and may change it at any time);
• IP address and browser/device information (user agent), recorded per sign-in session for security and abuse detection;
• Users you follow within the game;
• Date of sign-up;
• Unlocks achieved;
• Settings;
• Cosmetic preferences;
• System messages seen.

Community Dictionary Data

If you participate in the community dictionary, we additionally store:

• Words and definitions you submit, including removal requests and the reasons given;
• Your votes on submissions and on candidate definitions;
• Whether you have chosen to be credited by nickname for a definition;
• Moderation status relating to the dictionary (for example, a moderator role or a dictionary ban).

Purchase and Gift Data

If you buy or are gifted a cosmetic item, we store one record per item containing:

• The item purchased;
• The account that owns the item;
• Whether it was obtained by direct purchase or as a gift;
• Price and currency (all prices are in Australian Dollars, AUD);
• The date and time of the transaction;
• A payment reference and receipt link provided by Square;
• Refund status, if applicable.

When an item is sent as a gift, we additionally store, in association with that gift, the sender's nickname, follow code, the message they attached, and the date and time the gift was opened by the recipient. The recipient can see the sender's nickname and message but does not receive access to the sender's receipt.

We do not store your card or payment details. All card information is handled directly by Square and never reaches our servers (see Section 4).

2. How We Use the Information

We use the information collected for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain the Service;
• To generate and display gameplay statistics;
• To maintain your streaks, unlocks, and account history;
• To support social features, including showing results for users you follow;
• To display leaderboards and high-score tables for players who use them;
• To operate the community dictionary, including displaying submissions, tallying votes, enforcing eligibility and cooldown rules, and moderating content;
• To detect cheating or abusive behaviour;
• To process cosmetic purchases and deliver gifts and gift messages;
• To display your in-app receipts, which link out to the corresponding receipt held by Square;
• To improve puzzle difficulty, balance, and player experience;
• To secure the Service through rate-limiting and fraud prevention;
• To verify identity during account deletion or support requests.

We do not use personal information for advertising, behavioural tracking, or commercial profiling.

3. What We Do Not Collect or Use

We do not:

• Use advertising trackers or show advertisements;
• Sell or share your data with advertisers;
• Collect precise location data;
• Store card or payment details;
• Allow users to see the email addresses of others;
• Permit third-party search or discovery of user accounts;
• Use cookies, except those required by Google during sign-in and a single strictly necessary first-party session cookie used to keep you signed in to your account.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We may share data with the following service providers, solely for the operation of the Service:

• Hostinger – web hosting provider;
• Google – for authentication and sign-in;
• Square (including Google Pay) – for processing cosmetic purchases. Card and payment details are entered into and handled entirely by Square and are never received or stored by us. We retain only a payment reference and receipt link returned by Square.

The developer keeps private backups of the database for safekeeping and testing. These backups are stored securely and privately, and are not accessible to anyone other than the developer.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to any third party.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

5.A Anonymous Data

Anonymous gameplay data is stored permanently unless manually removed during maintenance, because it contains no personally identifiable information.

5.B Account Deletion

You can request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us through one of the channels linked at juicetheory.au. We use your email address to verify ownership before acting on the request. When an account is deleted:

• All account-identifying data is cleared, including your Google identifier, email address, nickname, follows, settings, saved data (such as your high-score summary and cosmetic choices), and owned items;
• Your gameplay plays (Classic, Maze, and Endless, including archive plays) are retained but anonymised — they remain in the database pointing to a cleared account and can no longer be linked back to you;
• Dictionary submissions, definitions, and votes are retained to preserve the integrity of the community dictionary and its voting history, but are no longer attributable to you — any definition credit reverts to “community”;
• Any gifts you previously sent will no longer show your nickname or message to the recipient; they will appear as being from a deleted account.

Account deletion is permanent. Once your gameplay data has been anonymised it cannot be recovered or re-linked to you, even if you create a new account later.

Users may also clear browser storage at any time to remove locally stored anonymous data.

6. International Data Transfers

The Service may store or process data in:

• Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur – primary server);
• Australia (developer's private backups).

By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your data to these locations.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for users aged 13 and older. This is due to the presence of user-submitted definitions, community-driven dictionary content, and the potential for vocabulary and definitions that may be inappropriate for younger audiences.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights under data protection laws, including:

• The right to request account deletion;
• The right to request anonymisation of your data;
• The right to correct your nickname or settings;
• The right to clear all anonymous data via browser storage;
• Rights under GDPR relating to access or erasure, within the practical limitations of an email-only account system.

Because we do not store sensitive personal data, certain rights (such as exporting complete gameplay history) may not apply.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.

10. Contact Information
