Your play, your privacy.
The 0.0 FORTY wallet display is a disconnected placeholder. Connect wallet is unavailable. Your separate Practice balance contains simulated FORTY only; it has no cash value and cannot be purchased, transferred or redeemed. Ember Mines requires no account name, email address, wallet or payment information. An essential HttpOnly ember-session cookie gives this browser access to its simulated FORTY and accepted boards. The server stores a hash of that random token, each saved hidden layout, chosen tiles, practice balance changes and stop status. Unopened mine positions stay on the server while a round is active. Complete layouts are shown only after the round ends. Records are separate from other games.
Clearing the cookie can remove access to your session. Sound and motion controls apply to the current page; sound starts off. No advertising trackers, third-party analytics or automatic support uploads are used. IP information is used briefly in memory to limit excessive requests. Hosting providers may process connection information to deliver and protect the site.
If you contact support, your email, message and information you choose to include are used to answer and follow up. Brand email uses Plunk. Closed support cases are reviewed for deletion after 90 days unless needed for an unresolved issue, transaction record or security investigation. Private game and support records are not published.
For questions or deletion requests, email support@fortydept.com. Include only a visible round reference if relevant. We verify ownership before sharing or changing private records. Do not send cookies, passwords or keys.
Limited usage counts
New browser sessions use limited first-party counts: daily entries, the first observed completed board and returns on later UTC days. These browser sessions are not people. A separate salted marker and a broad first-source category are kept within a rolling 31-day window and bounded storage. Raw cookies, IP addresses, full referral URLs, mine positions, tile choices and balances are not included. Recognized automated tests, Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are excluded without preventing play. These best-effort counts cannot change your layout, balance or ability to finish a board. Unrecognized automation may remain.
