Privacy Policy

Who we are

TutorTurbo ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at tutorturbo.com, where we offer free, browser-based educational games, teaching tips, and printable classroom resources. This policy explains what information is involved when you use the site and how we treat it.

Information we collect

We designed the site to work with as little personal information as possible.

• No accounts. You can play every game and view every page without signing up, logging in, or giving us your name or email.
• Game progress stays local. Our games save your scores, best levels, and skill mastery using your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and we cannot read it. Clearing your browser data resets it.
• Basic technical logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record standard request information such as IP address, browser type, and the pages visited, for security and to keep the site running. We do not use this to identify individual visitors.
• Aggregate analytics. We use Google Analytics to see, in aggregate, which pages and games are used. It does not tell us who you are. See Analytics & advertising below.
• Information you send us. If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to include in your message so we can reply.

Cookies & local storage

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The site uses two kinds of browser storage:

• Google Analytics first-party cookies (_ga, _ga_*), which help us count visits and see which pages are used. They do not identify you by name.
• localStorage in our games, used purely to remember your in-game progress on your own device.

You are always free to clear both through your browser settings, and you can refuse Analytics cookies by using a browser add-on or blocking those requests.

Links to other sites

Our pages link out to a small number of third-party services, most notably our Teachers Pay Teachers store, where our printable products are sold. We also load icon fonts from a public content-delivery network. When you follow a link to another company's site, or when your browser requests those resources, their own privacy policies apply — not ours. We encourage you to review them.

Analytics & advertising

We do not run third-party advertising networks on the site, and we do not sell, rent, or trade any information about our visitors.

We use Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, which pages and games are used so we can improve them. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies and collects standard usage information such as the pages you visit, an approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, and device type. It does not tell us who you are, and we do not use it to identify individual children or teachers. Google's own privacy policy governs the data they process.

You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on or by blocking requests to googletagmanager.com and google-analytics.com in your browser.

How we protect information

Because we collect so little, there is very little to expose. The site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and any message you send us is kept only as long as needed to help you. No method of transmission over the internet is ever 100% secure, but keeping our data footprint small is our strongest safeguard.

Your choices

• Play everything anonymously — no sign-up required.
• Reset all saved game progress at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
• Disable localStorage in your browser if you prefer (games will still run, but won't remember your scores).
• Opt out of Google Analytics with a browser add-on or by blocking those requests (see Analytics & advertising).
• Email us to ask a question or request deletion of any message you've sent.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the site grows. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be made clear on this page.
