Frustration Squared · Last updated 1 November 2026

Frustration Squared is a number-matching puzzle game for the web and Android. It is made by Piiu Pilt and published by Ornion OÜ ("we", "us"). This page explains what data the game handles. The short version: there are no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and the only data we receive is the name you type when you choose to put a score on the leaderboard.

What stays on your device

The web version saves the game in progress, and the last name you used on the leaderboard, in your browser's local storage, so you can carry on after reloading the page. This data is never sent to us, and clearing your browser data deletes it. The Android app does not save anything on your device.

The leaderboard

When a game ends, you can submit it to the shared leaderboard. If you do, we receive and store:

• the name you typed (1 to 20 characters). It is shown publicly next to your score;
• the difficulty and the score;
• the complete record of the game: the starting board and every move you made. We use it to replay the game on the server and check that the score is genuine;
• the date and time of the submission.

We do not ask for an email address, a phone number, a location or any other personal detail, and the leaderboard is not linked to any account or device identifier. Only the top 100 scores per difficulty are kept, so lower scores are not stored, and older entries drop off as better ones arrive.

Like any web server, the server that hosts the leaderboard may keep standard access logs (such as your IP address and the time of the request) for security and troubleshooting. We do not use them for anything else.

What we do not do

• We do not show ads.
• We do not use analytics, tracking or crash-reporting services.
• We do not sell or share data with third parties, apart from the hosting provider that runs the server.
• We do not use cookies.
• The Android app asks for no permission other than internet access, which it needs to reach the leaderboard.

Children

The game is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

Your rights

If you are in the EU or EEA, you have the right to ask what we hold about you, and to ask us to correct or delete it. Because leaderboard entries contain only a chosen name and a score, tell us the name, difficulty and approximate date of the entry and we will remove it. You can also complain to your data protection authority; in Estonia that is the Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon).

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date at the top.
