Privacy
Short version: there is nothing to sign up for, nothing to opt out of, and one browser key that holds your score until the day ends.
What is collected
Playing the quiz requires no name, email, phone number or social account. The site does not create a profile for you and cannot identify you across visits.
Browser storage
Two keys are written to localStorage in this browser. One holds the session id the server issued for your current game, so a reload rejoins the same round. The other holds the finished result for a given New York date, for example footbillion:result:daily:2026-11-14, with the points per round and your total. Neither is a profile: they contain no name, no email and no identifier that works on another site, and clearing site data deletes both.
The server-side session
Grading needs a server that remembers the clock. When a game starts, the server creates a random session id, keeps the rounds you have locked and the time each round began, and forgets the session after about forty minutes of inactivity. That record holds no personal detail, is not shared between visitors and is not used to build a history.
Answer submissions
When you submit an answer, the text you typed is sent to the grading route with the session token and the question id. It is compared against the key in memory, and the reply says only whether the round is locked and how many points it scored. The text you typed is not written to disk, not logged and not attached to an identity.
Repeated submissions are rate limited per connecting address so that one client cannot hammer the grading route. That counter lives in memory for about a minute, is keyed by address rather than by session, and is never joined to a score.
Cookies and scripts
- No advertising network and no third-party tracking script.
- No analytics product, so no session recording or heat maps.
- No cookie is set for the game itself.
- Fonts are served from this domain rather than a third-party font host.
Server logs
The server that answers requests keeps ordinary technical logs — time, requested path, response status and the connecting address — for security and debugging. These logs exist to keep the site running, not to build a picture of who plays.
Children
The quiz is suitable for general audiences and asks for no personal details at any point. There is no chat, no upload and no public profile.
Changes
If the site ever adds a feature that changes this picture, this page changes with it before the feature ships. The terms and the about page describe the rest of the arrangement.
