Additional website privacy details

Updated October 16, 2026. This section applies to the website.

Translations

Your text is sent over HTTPS to our translation service to produce a result. We do not save translation text in the application database or application logs. A translation included in a shared URL is visible to anyone you share that URL with, so avoid putting sensitive information in shared links.

Hosting, browser verification, and security cookies

Cloudflare hosts this website and its database, verifies browser requests through Turnstile, and helps us prevent abuse. Cloudflare processes connection and device information, including IP addresses. We also send your IP address to Cloudflare when checking a verification token. Our application’s rate-limit records use a daily changing keyed identifier rather than storing your raw IP address.

A one-hour security session cookie is necessary for translation, quiz, and contact features. It is marked Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite=Strict on the public website. Rate-limit records are eligible for deletion when they expire, with cleanup scheduled daily. Blocking required cookies can prevent these features from working.

Cloudflare and Google operate internationally, so website information may be processed outside Jamaica and your country of residence. The original policy’s reference to processing in Jamaica does not mean all website data stays there. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy and Google Privacy Policy for their processing and retention practices.

Website analytics and advertising

We use Google Analytics on our public website to understand visits and improve the service. It may use analytics cookies and collect usage, browser, and device information. Our pageview setup excludes URL query strings and fragments, uses general page titles, and reports only the referring site’s origin. We do not add translation text, quiz answers, leaderboard names, or contact-message contents to analytics events. Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled in our website’s tag configuration.

Analytics cookie and data retention are governed by the Analytics property settings and Google’s policies, separately from the application database retention below. You can control cookies through your browser and use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The updated website does not load Leadbolt advertising; the original mobile-app and service disclosures above remain in place.

Quiz scores and game records

Your chosen leaderboard name and best score are public. Use a nickname rather than personal information. We also preserve the original game’s score history. Leaderboard records do not expire automatically; you can request correction or removal using the contact details below. Game session records, including the information used to verify scores, are eligible for deletion one day after their deadline. Cleanup runs daily.

Contact messages and retention

When you use the contact form, we store your name, email address, subject, and message so we can respond. Submissions are eligible for deletion after 90 days and are removed by the next scheduled daily cleanup. If you email us directly or we reply by email, that correspondence is handled separately by our email provider and is not covered by the website database’s automatic cleanup.

Donations and other links

PayPal handles donations on its own website; this website does not collect payment-card details. Learn Patwa and the App Store are also separate services. Review the privacy policy of each service you visit.

Privacy questions and requests

To ask about your information or request access, correction, or removal of a contact submission or leaderboard entry, email jovi848.mcintyre@gmail.com or use our contact page. Please identify the relevant message or leaderboard name so we can locate the record. We may need to confirm that a request relates to you before acting on it. The website does not require you to create an account.
