Privacy Policy

The short version: we don’t collect anything.

Last updated: 12 August 2026

This policy covers Every Wall Falls and Tidefarer (each “the game,” together “the games”), made by Bagel Arcade (“we,” “us”), and the website at bagelarcade.com that hosts them. It explains how they handle information — which, deliberately, is as little as technically possible. Everything below applies equally to both games unless a game is named specifically.

Information we collect

None. Neither game asks for your name, email, phone number, location, contacts, photos, or any other personal information. Neither requires an account, and neither uses advertising, analytics, cookies, tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or third‑party data‑collection SDKs of any kind.

Data stored on your device

To let you pick up where you left off, each game saves data locally on your device — your progress through the game, in‑game settings (such as sound), and achievements. Tidefarer, being a longer game, also keeps its autosave this way. This information:

• stays on your device and is never sent to us or anyone else;
• is not tied to your identity;
• can be erased at any time by resetting your progress in‑game, clearing the site’s or app’s storage, or deleting the app.

Network use

Both games are designed to run offline. Neither connects to any server we operate, because we don’t operate any — there is nowhere for your data to be sent. Once a game has loaded, it plays entirely in your browser or on your device.

Two small things do involve the network, and we’d rather name them than claim a purity we don’t have:

• Serving the pages. bagelarcade.com is hosted on GitHub Pages. Like any web host, GitHub necessarily sees the ordinary technical details of a request — your IP address, browser, and the file you asked for — and handles them under GitHub’s privacy statement. We receive none of it: there is no analytics or logging dashboard on our end.
• Fonts on the front page. The bagelarcade.com landing page loads two typefaces from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google when you visit it. The games themselves make no such request — Tidefarer loads nothing from outside this site at all.

Tidefarer also installs a service worker so it can be played offline. That only caches the game’s own files on your device; it sends nothing anywhere.

Where a game offers to copy something for you — a result summary in Every Wall Falls, a save code in Tidefarer — it writes that short piece of text to your device’s clipboard when you tap it. Nothing is transmitted to us, and you choose whether and where to paste it.

App stores and your device platform

If you install one of our games from Apple’s App Store or Google Play rather than playing it in a browser, those platforms — and your device’s operating system — may collect standard technical information such as download counts, purchase records, or crash reports under their own privacy policies. That processing is outside our control and is governed by Apple and Google. We do not receive any personal information from them.

Children’s privacy

Because the games collect no personal information from anyone, they collect none from children. They comply with children’s privacy laws such as COPPA and the GDPR by simply not gathering data. (Tidefarer is a fantasy adventure with mild cartoon combat; that is a content question rather than a privacy one, but worth saying.)

Changes to this policy

If either game ever changes how it handles information, or if we add another game to Bagel Arcade, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above before the change takes effect.
