We do collect information that helps us improve the quality of the game, such as which features you use when you play.
We do store information on your computer about the games you play. We do that for two reasons:
No user has an account, so we cannot store game progress on our server in a way that is associated with a user. We store game progress on your computer so that you can continue a game at a later time without losing your progress. You can store your progress on our servers, but that is not stored with any information about you.
Storing some data locally improves performance.
