Who runs this site

Monkey Businessman, at monkeybusinessman.com, is the operator of this site. Contact: business@monkeybusinessman.com. A home address is not published here.

Who this is for

The email list and the public leaderboard are for people aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian asks us to remove an entry, we will.

What we collect

This site is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes standard request and security information, such as your IP address and the pages you request, to run and protect the site.

We do not use passwords. We do not run ads, and this site does not use advertising cookies, apart from a short sign-in cookie if you choose to save a score.

You can watch the cartoons, read the lessons, and play the game without giving an email address or posting a score. If you do not sign up for episode notes, you will not get those emails. If you do not sign in and save a score, you will not appear on the board.

Email list

If you sign up for episode notes, we collect your email address so we can send those notes. Kit (kit.com) is the email provider that processes the signup and the messages. You will get a confirmation email from Kit, and you are added to the list only after you confirm. Every episode email includes a way to unsubscribe. Your email stays with Kit until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Kit’s own terms and privacy notice also apply to this processing.

Leaderboard

Anyone can play Banana Catch without signing in. If you want a score on the public board, we collect your email address only to send you a one-time sign-in link, and we store the nickname you then choose. We do not use passwords. Your email is stored in a normalised form and is never shown on the board or anywhere else on this site. Nicknames and scores are public, and they stay on the board while the board is running, or until you ask us to remove them.

Cloudflare hosts the site and stores the email, nickname, and scores. Resend (resend.com) is the processor that sends the one-time sign-in email. We keep the email and nickname for as long as your leaderboard sign-in is active, or until you ask us to delete them by writing to business@monkeybusinessman.com. Earlier nickname-only test scores from before sign-in launched stay on the board as unclaimed entries, without an email.

A sign-in link works once and expires in 15 minutes. If you sign in, we set a short HttpOnly session cookie on this site, for about 30 days, so later scores can be saved under your nickname. You can sign out from the game-over card. For about 10 minutes we also store a one-way hash of your network address so we can limit spam. We do not store the raw address with the score. Temporary run records used to accept a score are kept for a short time, then removed.

Bot checks

If the email form is shown, or if you open the Play page, this site may load Cloudflare Turnstile so it can tell people from automated requests. That includes the leaderboard sign-in link. Cloudflare processes that check. The check can run when a form is shown, not only when you submit.

Where this is processed

Cloudflare processes hosting, security checks, and leaderboard storage. Resend processes leaderboard sign-in emails. Kit processes the episode email list. These companies process data in the United States, and Cloudflare also processes requests on its global network, including outside Taiwan.

Why we process this (EU and UK)

If you are in the EU or the UK, we process episode email signups on the basis of your consent, given when you confirm the Kit email. We process a leaderboard sign-in email and session because you asked to save a score. We process short-lived security identifiers, request logs, and bot checks on the basis of our legitimate interest in running and protecting the site.

Saved on your device

The banana-catch game can save your high score, and a nickname you have used, on this device. After a run, a pending score can stay in this browser until you finish signing in. A sound setting can stay in your browser until you close the tab. You can clear this stored data in your browser settings for this site.

Ko-fi

Links to Ko-fi are an optional tip, processed by Ko-fi. They are not a purchase and not a tax-deductible charity gift.
