Space Match III · spacematch3.com · updated 20 October 2026
Space Match III has no accounts, no ads and no third-party trackers, and it sets no cookies. Your progress stays in your own browser. To make the levels better, the game sends anonymous play statistics to our server. This page says what they are and how to stop them.
What the game sends
- A random player id. Your browser makes it the first time you play. It is not linked to your name, email or device.
- Each page load: the window size, whether the screen is a touch screen, the browser language, your current level, the page you opened (such as /daily), the name of the website that linked you here (such as reddit.com; not the full link) and the campaign tag of an ad link (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign), if there was one.
- Each level you play: the level number and its layout, whether you won or lost, the moves used, the time, what was left on the board, how much help the game gave, and the text you type into "bad level", if you send one.
- Each Daily Challenge you win: your moves, one by one. The server plays them again to check the result before it goes on the day's leaderboard.
- Each time you press Share: the Daily Challenge number and whether you shared or copied the result. Not the text and not where you sent it.
- Your country. Our network provider, Cloudflare, works it out from your internet address. We keep only the country, not the address.
Who we are
Space Match III is made by Andrew Zaitsev-Zotov, a private person, who decides what is collected and why (the data controller). Contact: [email protected].
Why
We use it to tune difficulty: which levels are too hard or too easy, where players get stuck, and what makes them come back or stop. It also makes the Daily Challenge leaderboard, which everyone can see: there you show only as the call sign you pick from the game's words (such as "Clever Rocket"; until you pick one, "Pilot 7F3A", made from your player id) and the flag of your country. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving the game (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). We do not sell or share this data, and we do not use it for advertising.
Where it is kept
On our own server in the EU (Hetzner, Finland), behind Cloudflare. Like every website, the server also keeps standard access logs: internet address, browser and the pages requested. These logs are deleted after 14 days. We keep the play statistics while they help us design the game, and we delete them sooner if you ask.
Your choices
Your player id: none yet (you have not played on this browser)
- Stop the statistics: use the button above. The game keeps working the same. The choice is kept in this browser only, so set it on each device.
- See or delete your data: email [email protected] with your player id. We will send you a copy or delete it.
- Start fresh: clear this site's data in your browser. This deletes your progress and your player id. The old statistics are then no longer linked to you.
- You can also complain to your data protection authority.
Children
The game is for everyone. It asks no one for a name, email or age, and the statistics above are the same for every player.
Changes
If this changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
