Privacy
Short answer: this website itself collects almost nothing on you. MCAT Village (the game) does keep an account and your saved progress so you can pick up where you left off on any device. The details for both are below.
What this site collects
This is a static website. There are no accounts here. The only thing you can hand over is your email address, and only if you choose to type it into a "get launch updates" box (covered below). Apart from that and the aggregate analytics noted further down, I have no way to tie activity to you personally.
The hosting provider (Netlify) keeps standard server-access logs and, through Netlify Analytics, surfaces those logs to me as aggregate counts: total pageviews per URL, top referring sites, approximate country, and which URLs returned a 404. IP addresses are truncated for uniqueness counting and are not shared with me. No cookies, no JavaScript tracking, nothing tied to you personally.
This site also uses Microsoft Clarity to generate aggregate heatmaps (where visitors tap or scroll) and anonymous session recordings so I can see which parts of each page are working. Clarity sets its own cookies, may record mouse movements and clicks, and automatically masks form inputs and sensitive fields. It does not collect your name or email unless they appear on the page. Microsoft's own privacy notice covers the collection and retention: privacy.microsoft.com. If you'd prefer to opt out, most ad / tracker blockers (uBlock Origin, Brave, etc.) block Clarity by default.
Email updates (optional)
A few spots on this site have a box where you can leave your email to get updates about MCAT Village (the launch, product news, the occasional behind-the-scenes). It is entirely optional. If you submit it, the address is stored as a form submission by my hosting provider, Netlify, and I use it only to send those Village updates. It is separate from a game account, I don't sell or share it, and you can ask me to remove you any time through the contact page.
MCAT Village (the game)
MCAT Village is its own thing, separate from this website. To play, you sign in with your email, which gives you an account. I use a service called Supabase to store that account and your game progress (which stations you've played, how you did, what you've unlocked) so your progress lives in the cloud and follows you to any device.
While you play, the game also keeps notes on how the game itself is working: which scenes and stations get opened, whether answers land right or wrong, how long things take, and where people tend to get stuck or drop off. I look at this in aggregate to catch bugs and spot mechanics that feel off, the kind of thing that almost never gets reported on its own. It's about making the game better, not about watching any one person.
The game uses Microsoft Clarity for the same kind of anonymous heatmaps and session recordings described above, and it has a built-in "report a bug" button if you'd rather just tell me directly when something breaks.
Your email is used to sign you in. I'll only send you updates if you opt in to them, and you can opt back out anytime.
If you buy access to the full map, the checkout is handled by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record and runs its own privacy practices. I never see your full payment details.
What happens when you click a "Buy" button
Those links send you to Amazon.com or nuskin.com. Once you land there, those sites run their own cookies, tracking, and privacy practices, and I have zero control over and zero visibility into any of it. See their policies directly:
Affiliate cookies
When you click an Amazon or Nu Skin link, an affiliate ID is attached so that if you buy, the retailer credits me with the referral. That cookie is set by them, not by this site.
Changes
If I add analytics or any form of user tracking in the future, this page will be updated to reflect it. Check the date below.
