Trikzik Labs / Plain-language record

Privacy

Trikzik Labs uses a small, first-party counter to understand which experiments get opened and used. It is designed to count actions, not identify people.

What the public counter records

When collection is enabled, an allowed action increments an aggregate count in a five-minute time bucket. The stored fields are the event category, experiment identifier, fixed source category, fixed export format when relevant, site context, and code-release label.

The allowed categories are: selecting a specimen, opening an experiment, the first interaction with an experiment, exporting Scribble artwork or setup, creating a Scribble replay link, and opening the support link.

What it does not record

Retention and access

Public events are stored only as aggregate counts. Dashboard queries are limited to the most recent 90 days, and database cleanup removes older event buckets when new events are written. The private dashboard is restricted to Ernest Turner’s exact verified Firebase account.

The owner sign-in is separate from public analytics. Google and Firebase may process the owner’s authentication information; public visitors are not asked to sign in.

Optional feedback

The feedback form stores the note you choose to submit, an optional name, and any optional page, expected-result, observed-result, or reproduction details you provide. It does not require an account, email address, or file upload.

Feedback is visible only through Ernest Turner's verified owner account and is not automatically emailed, posted to Slack, or forwarded elsewhere. Notes are retained for up to 90 days; expired notes are removed when feedback is next submitted or reviewed.

Operational limits

The collector accepts only exact allowlisted values, rejects oversized or cross-site requests, and applies a global write budget. If configuration, quota, or network requests fail, the games continue working and the event is simply not counted.
