Information we collect
Anonymous play does not require a name or email address. If you create an account, Clerk verifies your email address and supplies The Sudoku Chamber with a stable account identifier. Clerk manages the verification process; The Sudoku Chamber does not receive or store passwords or one-time verification codes.
Account and gameplay data
For signed-in players, The Sudoku Chamber stores the authentication provider’s account identifier, your chosen leaderboard name, board and number-style preferences, friend code, accepted and pending friend connections, points, tier, solved-game records, best times and daily streak. Puzzle sessions also include difficulty, completion time, mistakes and whether the puzzle was a daily challenge.
This information is used to preserve progress across visits, calculate points, maintain the weekly Pearl-to-Diamond Global league and show friend comparisons.
Leaderboards and friends
Your player name, score, number of completed games, best time and tier can appear on public leaderboards. Your email address is not shown or stored in the game database. Friends you connect with using a friend code can see the same performance information on the Friends leaderboard. The application does not offer private messaging or public posts.
Information stored on your device
Your unfinished puzzle, elapsed time, notes, local statistics and pending score submission may be stored in your browser. This restores your game and lets an interrupted signed-in score submission retry later. The Chamber IQ Challenge also keeps your answers and latest result on this device only; they are not submitted to The Sudoku Chamber. You can remove local information by clearing this site’s browser data; removing the installed web app may not clear browser data on every device.
