Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Mzansi Meter ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website. We are committed to compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa.

1. Information We Collect

We keep data collection to the absolute minimum required to play the game.

• Game Data (Voluntary): If you make the leaderboard, you may choose to submit your initials. This is publicly displayed.
• Device Information (Automatic): Like most websites, we use standard web logs and Google Analytics/Firebase to track general usage (e.g., visitor numbers, browser type).
• Local Storage: We save small files on your device to remember your settings (Dark Mode, Mute) and your daily streak.

2. Advertising

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the game functionality.
• To display the public leaderboard.
• To monitor the usage of our service and detect technical issues.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share anonymous usage data with service providers (like Google) solely to operate the game and display ads.

5. Your Rights

Under POPIA, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. If you wish to have your initials removed from the leaderboard, please contact us.
