What happens inside a game

Key presses, pointer movements, drawings, beat patterns, and game counters are processed in the browser to make the game work. The application does not send that play data to a server. Drawings and tunes are held in memory and disappear when you leave or reload, unless you explicitly download a drawing to your device.

Preferences stored on your device

The local-storage entry pebble-prefs stores sound, volume, reduced-motion, mouse-trail, and visual-world preferences. It is not an advertising identifier. You can remove these preferences with the button below or through your browser's site-data settings.

What we do not ask children for

The games have no registration, chat, microphone, camera, geolocation access, public galleries, payment forms, or file uploads. Please do not send children's names, photos, school information, or other personal details in support reports.

Hosting and technical information

Delivering a web page exposes technical information, such as an IP address, requested URL, browser information, and request time, to the hosting infrastructure. This site is hosted through ChatGPT Sites. While it is private, the hosting platform may also require sign-in and process access-control information under its own policies. The game code cannot set or control the host's log-retention periods.

Fonts and game assets are served with the site. No third-party font request, embedded video, advertising code, or analytics code is intentionally loaded by the application.

Contact and voluntary reports

The current help page can prepare a report locally. It does not submit anything to a server. If you later send a report through a contact channel, you choose what to include and that communication may contain your adult contact details. See Contact & help for the current support status.

Children and future advertising

TapNote is intended for shared play by children and adults. No advertising is active in this release. Advertising or analytics must not be added without reviewing the applicable children's privacy requirements and updating this notice to accurately describe the providers, data, purposes, choices, and contact information. A generic cookie banner does not replace those obligations.

Your choices and changes

You can mute sound, reduce motion, disable trails, clear saved preferences, and stop using the site. Changes to data practices will be reflected here before the new functionality is enabled. This notice describes the implementation; it is not a certification of compliance in every jurisdiction.
