Simit · last updated 17 October 2026
In short: Simit has no ads, no tracking cookies and no third-party analytics. We count anonymous play statistics to see whether the game is fun. Players never give their real name, email or phone number. The game never uses the microphone or camera. Solo levels work without any account.
What we store
- Nickname (only if your child picks one for the ranking, rooms or the Plaza) and when it was created.
- Scores and stars for cleared levels, shown in the world ranking.
- An optional password. We never store the password itself: only a salted, slow one-way scramble of it (PBKDF2-SHA256 plus a secret server key), the standard way. Wrong guesses are limited, and changing the password signs out every other device.
- Saved progress: unlocked levels and stars, so the nickname can continue on another device.
- A device key and a recovery code. The key is saved in the browser on your child's device; on our server we keep only a one-way fingerprint of the key and of the recovery code, never the key or code itself.
- Friends-room chat: the last 100 messages of each room, deleted after 30 days at the latest, or straight away when the room's owner ends the room.
- Play statistics: anonymous, see below.
- Safety records: messages our safety filter stopped (kept up to 30 days so we can review them), reports between players (kept 24 hours), and suspensions.
- Internet address: used to stop spam (for example, how many nicknames are created from one network). It is kept for at most 24 hours; for reports we keep only a one-way fingerprint of it.
Anonymous play statistics
To learn whether players enjoy the game and come back, the browser makes a random id (not linked to the nickname) and sends a few events: the game was opened, a level was started, cleared or failed, the Plaza or a friends room was entered, and one tick per minute of active play. It also notes how that first visit started (a friend's room link, a Plaza link, the website it came from, or direct).
On our server we keep, per random id, the days it played, the minutes played and the highest level cleared, plus daily totals. No name, nickname, IP address or chat text is part of these statistics, and nothing is shared with anyone. Day-by-day records are deleted after 120 days, and ids not seen for a year are deleted. Clearing the browser's site data makes a new id.
On the device itself the game remembers progress, settings and the nickname key in the browser's local storage. Nothing is shared with advertisers or sold.
How we keep children safe
- Every chat message is checked on our server before anyone sees it. Links, email addresses, phone numbers and social-media accounts are blocked, and swear words are hidden.
- An automatic AI check (Cloudflare Workers AI) also looks for sexual messages, grooming (for example asking a child's age, school or for photos), threats, drugs, self-harm and hate. Serious cases mute the sender.
- Players can report others. Several reports from different players suspend an account for 24 hours, and for 7 days if it happens again.
- The owner of a friends room can remove players and end the room.
- Nicknames are checked for bad words and can only use normal letters and numbers.
No filter is perfect. Please talk with your child about never sharing personal details online, and about telling you if something feels wrong.
Deleting data
In the game, open My account and tap Delete my nickname and scores. The nickname, password, saved progress, scores and its reports are deleted immediately. Chat messages disappear within 30 days. To remove what is saved on the device, clear the browser's site data for this website.
How long we keep it
- Nicknames not used are deleted automatically together with their scores, saved progress, password and devices: after 6 months without playing, or 12 months if the nickname has a password. Opening the game while signed in counts as playing.
- Chat messages: 30 days at most. Safety records: 30 days. Reports: 24 hours. Internet addresses for spam limits: 24 hours.
- Anonymous play statistics: day-by-day records 120 days; random ids not seen for a year are deleted.
