Privacy
This page explains what the current Tessera server stores and when it talks to outside services.
Data stored on this server
Accounts include a username, password hash and salt for password accounts, profile image if uploaded, friend list, joined rooms, and completed-puzzle count. Saved rooms include the chosen image, piece positions, progress, room name, and a hash of any room password. Session cookies are stored in the browser and checked by the server.
Social sign-in
If Google or Facebook sign-in is configured and you choose it, the server exchanges an authorization code with that provider and reads your provider account ID and display name. It stores those values to identify your Tessera account. Google and Meta process the sign-in under their own policies. No provider sign-in occurs when you use a password account.
Real-time play and messages
Piece moves, cursor positions and chat messages travel to other players in the same room. Chat messages are not saved to the room file in this build. Uploaded puzzle images and profile images are stored on this server so your room and profile can be restored.
Contact messages
The contact form stores your name, optional email, message, and submission time on this server. It does not send an email automatically. The operator must read the local message file to respond.
Retention and requests
Room and account files remain on the host until the operator removes them. This build does not yet provide a self-service deletion control. Use the contact form for a data question or deletion request.
