This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on the Connections Copilot website.
The game data such as the positions of tiles or colors is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted over the internet. If you clear the data by using the functionality inside the website or in your browser, the data is deleted immediately.
When you visit the Connections Copilot website, the service provider which hosts the website, Cloudflare, collects privacy-first analytics about the visitors of the website in order to report on the traffic in aggregate. The service is called Cloudflare Web Analytics. It reports things like the number of hits the website receives, which country they are from, and how long the page takes to load.
The game data is loaded from the NYT website service endpoint (thank you NYT!) for the specific day game data, and is proxied through a Cloudflare worker to add CORS headers to allow the browser to retrieve the data.
There is no email address captured unless you email us directly, which is used only to reply to your inquiry.
Connections Copilot uses Grafana Frontend Observability and the Grafana Faro library to monitor the performance of the website. This service collects information about the performance of the website, such as how long it takes to load, how long it takes to render, and if there are any errors while the website is loading or being used to improve the reliability of the website. Anonymous usage events are also sent to help determine aggregate feature usage across the userbase, such as when an archive game is selected. There is no personally identifyable information logged on the server.
We use the following 3rd party providers:
We use the anonymized information we collect to operate and improve our website.
We do not share personal information with outside parties which is especially easy since we don't have any. We may share anonymous, aggregate statistics with outside parties, such as how many page loads the website has on a daily basis.
We may disclose any information we have collected in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal requirements; to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or abuse, violations of our policies; or to protect our rights and property.
Since Connections Copilot doesn't store your game data outside of your device, there is no way for us to delete it for you. You would need to use the "Reset all data" functionality from the settings screen, or by clearing the locally stored data for the connections-copilot.com domain from your browser's settings page.
Diagnostic and performance data is purged after 30 days (per Grafana Labs retention policy). The aggregate request data stored by Cloudflare discussed above is retained for as long as Cloudflare will allow.
Information may be processed, stored, and used outside of the country in which you are located. Data privacy laws vary across jurisdictions, and different laws may be applicable to your data depending on where it is processed, stored, or used.
By using our website you consent to our privacy policy.
If you have questions regarding this privacy policy, you may email [email protected]
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page. Summary of changes so far:
