Privacy

For Charlie, the game, at charlie.roubenmalianmemorial.org (also boywoofy.com) and in the Charlie iPhone app. Last updated October 19, 2026.

Short version: Charlie is a game. There are no accounts and no ads. We count anonymous play statistics so we know how many people play and for how long, and the website uses Google Analytics; neither is linked to your name, and we never sell your information.

What stays on your device

Your level progress, stars, best scores, your sound setting and the name you last used on the leaderboard are saved on your device only. We can't see them. Deleting the app, or clearing your browser's site data, erases them.

Anonymous play statistics

To see how many people play, how often they come back and which modes they like, the game makes a random code the first time it runs and keeps it on your device. With that code it sends us: when you open the game, how long it's on screen, which mode or level you start and whether you win, your score, whether it's the website or the iPhone app, the country (worked out by Cloudflare from the connection, not your exact location) and, on the website, which site linked you here. No name, email, network address, contacts or location is sent, and the code isn't connected to the leaderboard. Clearing your browser's site data or deleting the app makes a new code. The website also uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page visits without cookies.

Google Analytics (the website only)

The website (not the iPhone app) loads Google Analytics, which sets cookies to measure visits: the pages you view, the buttons you tap, how far you scroll, and game moments such as starting a mission, finishing it (with the score, stars and time), game over, golden bones found and putting a score on the Top Dogs board, plus the device and approximate location you play from. We send page addresses without the part after "?" and with anything that looks like an ID removed, and we never send the name you type for the leaderboard or anything else you type. If you're in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, Google Analytics stores nothing until you choose "Accept" in the banner; "Reject" keeps it off. Your choice is remembered in your browser. If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we load no Google or analytics script at all. Google Analytics keeps this data for 14 months. Google handles it as described in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

What we store if you use the leaderboard

Only if you choose to put a score on the Top Dogs board, we store the name you type (please use a nickname, not your full name), your score, how long the run lasted and when you sent it. The name and score are shown publicly on the board. Nothing else is attached to it.

Your network address is used for a moment to stop spam (rate limiting) and isn't saved with your score.

Reporting a name

Anyone can tap ⚑ next to a name on the Top Dogs board to hide it and report it. Hidden names are remembered on your device only. When you report a name we store the name and a one-way scrambled code made from your network address, so each person's report counts once; the code can't be turned back into your address. Names that several players report are taken off the board for everyone.

Who handles the data

The game and the leaderboard run on Cloudflare, which processes requests on our behalf. The play statistics stay with Cloudflare and us. On the website, Google (Google Analytics) also receives the measurements described above; with Global Privacy Control on, or if you reject the banner, none is sent. No advertising companies are involved, and there are no ads.

Children

Charlie is a game for all ages. We don't ask for or knowingly collect personal information from anyone. If a name on the leaderboard looks like someone's real name, or shouldn't be there, email us and we'll remove it.

The old BoyWoofy site

boywoofy.com used to have accounts, a newsletter and a VIP club. Those are closed. If you had an account or subscribed and want your old data deleted, email us and we'll delete it. Unsubscribe links in old newsletter emails still work.
