Privacy,
close to home.

About this policy

Pennant web is a geography game published by STONEG LLC at pennant.stoneg.org. This policy covers the browser games and their browser storage. The iPhone and iPad app has a separate privacy policy.

The browser games do not require a player account. There is no Pennant account server or automatic cloud synchronization of your game saves. Web progress does not sync with the iPhone app.

Saved in this browser

Pennant uses browser local storage to keep daily and practice game sessions, answers and guesses, completion history, streak credit, country rewards, passport discoveries, selected covers and preferences. It also saves your home time-zone identifier, the observed device time-zone identifier and limited travel-grace deadlines.

The site reads the time zone reported by your browser to set its daily clock and offer travel grace. This does not use GPS or request location permission. These game saves and time-zone values are not uploaded to a Pennant server.

Browser storage is specific to the browser and site. A different browser, device, private-browsing session or site address may have a different save. Clearing site data can remove it. Device or browser backups may include locally stored information.

Drawing practice stays local

Draw the Flag and Draw the Country Border save their current practice state and drawing actions in separate local-storage records in this browser. Comparisons run on your device against bundled flags and map shapes. There is no remote AI scoring service, and drawings are not sent to Pennant.

Drawing feedback is an approximate visual comparison for practice. Saved drawing canvases are separate from the daily-progress backup. Resetting your web passport does not remove the drawing records; use the drawing controls to clear a canvas, or your browser’s site-data controls to remove all Pennant web storage.

Backups and sharing are your choice

Settings lets you export a JSON backup of your daily progress, game sessions, passport and preferences to a file on your device. Drawing canvases are not included. Import reads the file you select in your browser; it does not upload the file to a Pennant service.

Result-sharing controls let you copy, download or share a result and game link. You choose where it goes. If you use an external app or service to share a result or store a backup, that service handles the information under its own practices.

Advertising is pending setup

No web advertising partner is currently configured, and Pennant web currently loads no advertising scripts, advertising frames or advertising cookies. The site does not include a custom analytics or tracking script.

Settings includes an optional display-advertising preference, off by default, saved in this browser. Changing the preference does not load ads while advertising is disabled. Any future supported web advertisements will be standard display banners; games and passport rewards do not require watching an ad.

Before enabling an advertising provider, we will update this policy with the provider, the information it processes and the applicable privacy controls. A provider may require additional consent or other choices before ads can load. The existing iPhone app’s AdMob setup and ad-removal purchase do not enable web advertising.

Delivering the site

Visiting the site sends ordinary network request information, such as your IP address, browser request headers and requested file addresses, to the hosting infrastructure. Pennant uses Amazon Web Services S3 and CloudFront to deliver and protect its static files. This network activity is separate from your locally saved guesses and drawings.

AWS may process service and security information under its terms. Read the AWS Privacy Notice for information about AWS. Links to Apple, Google, email services or other websites take you to services with their own privacy practices.

If you contact support

Email support receives your sender address, any associated name, your message and any attachments you choose to send. We use that correspondence to answer and investigate your request. Nothing is sent merely by playing a game or opening an email link.

Support correspondence is kept in the Gmail mailbox used for Pennant support so we can respond and follow up. You may request deletion of correspondence using the address below. Records needed to resolve an open issue or meet legal obligations may be retained, and Gmail handles provider-held copies under Google’s own privacy and retention policies. Do not include passwords, payment-card information or other sensitive information.

Your choices and retention

Keep a backup using Settings before clearing browser data. To reset daily games and your passport, use Settings → Reset web progress; the site downloads a backup first. Drawing canvases and the advertising preference are stored separately. Your browser’s controls for this site can remove all local storage, including drawings and advertising choices.

Because your game save stays in your browser, Pennant cannot recover a deleted save from a server. For questions or requests about support correspondence or other information you have sent us, use the contact address below.
