Privacy policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
This page explains what data is processed when you play Timeline on rekick.io, why, how long it is kept and how to exercise your rights. The game can be played without an account: the player account is optional.
Controller and contact
For any question about your data or to exercise your rights, write to sdelplanque92@gmail.com.
Game statistics
At the end of each game, the site records its result: date, competition, language, period or difficulty level, cards placed right or wrong, score, duration and type of device (mobile or desktop). This data contains no identifier, no cookie and no IP address: it cannot be used to recognise you.
It is used to publish the game statistics and to adjust the difficulty of the cards. The details of each game are kept for 12 months, then only anonymous totals are kept. Legal basis: the legitimate interest of the site in measuring and improving its game.
Player account
You can create an account to find your statistics on all your devices. The site then keeps your username, your email address, your password in hashed form (nobody can read it), the language of the site when you signed up, the date the account was created and whether your address is confirmed. The email address is used to sign you in, to confirm your address and to reset your password: the site sends you no other email and never shows it.
When you play signed in, each game is also recorded on your account: date, competition, period or level, cards placed right, score, duration and the score to beat of a challenge. When you first sign in, the games played without an account on this device (50 at most, less than a year old) and your best scores are added to it. This data is used to show your profile page and the player rankings.
The account and its games are kept as long as the account exists, and deleted together when it is deleted. Legal basis: the performance of the service you ask for by creating an account.
Sign-in with Google
On the sign-in and sign-up pages, the Google button loads a script from Google: Google then receives your IP address and can read its own cookies if you are signed in to a Google account. If you use this button, Google sends the site your email address, your first name and the identifier of your Google account. The site keeps the email address and the identifier to recognise you; the first name is only used to suggest your username when the account is created, and is not kept. The site never has access to your Google password. See also Google's privacy policy.
Rankings and player pages
The “Players” page of the statistics is public. It shows the username of the players in the rankings (best scores, most active players) and, for each player who played signed in, a page with their statistics per competition and their latest games. Only the username appears, never the email address: choose a username that does not reveal who you are if you do not want it to. An account created with Google takes your first name as its username; you can ask to change it. Legal basis: the performance of the service, as the rankings are part of the game.
Protection against abuse
To limit automated submissions of results, account creations and sign-in attempts, the site computes an encrypted fingerprint (salted hash) of your IP address, kept for one hour and then deleted. The IP address itself is never stored. To slow down bots, the sign-up form also has your browser solve a small computation: no third-party service, no cookie. Legal basis: the legitimate interest of the site in protecting itself from abuse.
Data stored on your device
Your best score in each competition is kept in the local storage of your browser, with your last 50 games played without an account. This data only leaves your device if you sign in to an account: it is then added to it, and the games are deleted from the device. You can delete it by clearing the site data in your browser.
When you sign in to an account, the site sets sign-in cookies, which keep you signed in for 14 days and are deleted when you sign out; the local storage also remembers that you are signed in on this device. As they are essential to the service you ask for, they do not require your consent.
Audience measurement: Google Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics, provided by Google, to count visits and understand how the game is used: pages viewed, visit duration, type of device and browser, approximate country. Google Analytics sets cookies and keeps this data for at most 14 months.
These cookies are only set with your consent. Without consent, Google only receives cookieless signals, which cannot be used to follow you from one visit to the next.
Advertising: Google AdSense
The site shows ads provided by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
These cookies are only set with your consent; without consent, ads are not personalised. You may also opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. Learn more: how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Consent and cookies
A banner asks for your consent before any audience measurement or advertising cookie; declining is as easy as accepting. Your choice is kept in the local storage of your browser. You can change your mind at any time with the "Cookies" entry of the menu: if you decline, the Google Analytics and AdSense cookies set on this site are deleted.
Fonts
The pages use a font from Google Fonts: your browser downloads it from the servers of Google, which then receive your IP address. No cookie is set for this.
Hosting
Like any web server, the server hosting the site receives the IP address and browser of each visitor, to display the pages and keep the site secure.
Recipients and transfers
Audience measurement, advertising and Google sign-in data is processed by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. Its transfer to the United States is governed by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and by the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Game statistics and accounts stay on the server of the site and are not sold.
Your rights
You have the right to access, rectify and erase your data, to object to and restrict its processing, and to data portability, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. To exercise these rights, or to delete your account, write to sdelplanque92@gmail.com from the address of your account. Your profile page already shows the games recorded on your account. Anonymous game statistics cannot be linked to you. You can also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in France, the CNIL: cnil.fr; in the United Kingdom, the ICO: ico.org.uk).
