We collect information when you register. We require an email address so that we can guarantee uniqueness. Registered users must furnish the following information:

• Play Name. A publicly viewable name allowing other users to see who set a record.
• Gender. Used to qualify records. It is possible to see, for instance, who set the best time for a puzzle by gender.
• Birth Month. Used to determine an age group for qualifying records.
• Country. Used to qualify records.

We maintain records and statistics about who the best players are. This allows users to set records for their country, region, age group, gender and any combination thereof. Users can also view the Play Names of record setters. Emails are never divulged in any way.

We send email to registered users under two conditions only:

• To confirm and complete the registration process
• To allow a new password to be set if one is forgotten

Users that login by third party (Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.) are still required to furnish registration data but will never receive emails for the above stated conditions.
