Who this is from

Strollf is made by Ben, an independent developer in the UK. This page covers the game in your browser (strollf.com and strollf.netlify.app), the copy on itch.io, and the Android app on Google Play. Questions go to support@strollf.com.

What stays on your device

Your progress, settings, golfer, postcards (and the little photos on them), streak and scores are kept in your browser's or app's own storage on your device. Clearing the site's data, or uninstalling the app, removes them.

What is sent to the game's server, and why

• The boards (Fellow Strollfers and The Daily 9). When you finish or leave a round, the round goes on the board: the three initials and three emoji you chose, how your golfer looks, your score, the holes and regions played, and the time. A random identifier made on your device comes with it, so a later update replaces your entry instead of adding a second one. Board entries are removed after seven days. If you never change them, your initials are the first three letters of the name you typed in when you started, so change them in the game if you'd rather not be recognised.
• Play statistics. Numbers about the holes you play (such as shots taken, par, hole length and region), with the game's version, whether you're on a phone or a computer, your language, a few of your game settings and your streak length. No name, initials or contact details are attached. They're used to balance the game and are kept for about thirty days.
• Linked devices (only if you link them). If you link two devices in Players, your saved progress, including your postcard photos, is stored on the server so each device can fetch it. It's kept against a random link code, not a name, for as long as the devices stay linked.
• Evening reminders (only if you turn them on). Your browser's push address, your chosen time window and your time zone, so the reminder arrives in the evening where you are. Turning reminders off removes them.
• Feedback (only if you send it). Your message, plus your name and email if you choose to add them, so you can be answered.
• Supporter purchase (Android app only, only if you buy it). The purchase is made with Google Play, and Google handles the payment: the game never sees your card or payment details. Google gives the game a purchase reference, which the server checks with Google once to confirm the purchase and does not keep.

Other companies involved

• Netlify hosts the game and its server. Like any web host it keeps short-lived technical logs, which include IP addresses.
• Google Play distributes the Android app and handles any purchase in it, under Google's own privacy policy.
• itch.io hosts a copy of the game, under its own privacy policy.
• Music. If you choose a music service in the game (Spotify, YouTube or SoundCloud), that service's player is loaded and it may set its own cookies and see that you're listening. Choosing "No music" loads none of them.

There are no advertising or analytics companies in Strollf.

Children

Strollf is suitable for all ages and doesn't ask for names, email addresses, ages or locations. The only things other players see are three initials, three emoji and a golfer.

Your choices

• Change your initials and emoji at any time (they start as the first three letters of your name). Pick ones that don't identify you if you'd rather stay anonymous on the boards.
• Turn reminders off, unlink devices, or choose "No music" at any time in the game's menus.
• Ask for anything held on the server about your game to be removed, or for a copy of it, by emailing support@strollf.com. It helps to say your board initials and roughly when you played. If you're in the UK or EU you also have the usual data protection rights, including the right to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).

Changes

If the game starts handling anything differently, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.
