Math Games - Info & Privacy Policy

About Math Games

Math Games is a free educational platform designed to help students practice and master essential math skills through engaging, timed quizzes.

How It Works

Our platform offers four types of math quizzes:

• Addition: Practice adding numbers from 2 through 9
• Subtraction: Practice subtracting numbers from 2 through 9
• Multiplication: Master your times tables from 2 through 9
• Division: Perfect your division skills from 2 through 9

Challenge Mode

Each quiz contains 36 carefully selected problems. The challenge is simple but demanding:

• Complete all 36 problems as quickly as possible
• Zero mistakes allowed - one wrong answer restarts your entire run
• Your best completion time is saved locally on your device
• Fast enough? Enter the global Top 10 High Scores leaderboard!

High Scores

When you achieve a time fast enough to make the top 10, you can submit your score to our global leaderboard using just two initials. Compete with players worldwide to see who can achieve the fastest completion times!

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Math Games on the web (mathgames.net), as well as our iOS and Android mobile applications.

Information We Collect

Math Games is designed with privacy in mind. Here's what we do and don't collect:

What We DO Collect:

• Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to understand how many people use our platform and which features are most popular. This helps us improve the service.
• High Score Initials: If you choose to submit a high score, we store only your two-letter initials (e.g., "JD") along with your completion time.
• Local Best Times: Your personal best times are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage (web) or app storage (mobile apps). This data never leaves your device.

What We DON'T Collect:

• No names, email addresses, or contact information
• No account registration or login required
• No IP addresses or precise location data
• No demographic information
• No tracking across other websites or apps

Cookies and Tracking

• Google Analytics: Uses cookies to measure site traffic and usage patterns
• No Advertising Cookies: We do not use any advertising or marketing cookies
• No Third-Party Ads: Math Games is completely ad-free

Children's Privacy

Math Games is designed to be safe for children. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children or anyone else. The only data we store from users is:

• Two-letter initials (if you make the top 10 leaderboard)
• Completion times for high scores
• Aggregate, anonymous usage statistics via Google Analytics

Data Storage and Security

High scores are stored securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Since we only store initials (2 letters) and times, there is no personally identifiable information in our database.

Your Choices

• You can use Math Games completely anonymously
• Submitting high scores is entirely optional
• You can clear your local best times by clearing your browser data or app storage
• You can opt out of Google Analytics using browser extensions or privacy settings

Mobile Applications

Our iOS and Android applications function identically to the web version and follow the same privacy practices outlined in this policy. The apps do not require any special permissions beyond basic internet access.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
