The demo uses local storage for balance persistence and loads fonts from external servers. These observations do not establish anonymity, exclude tracking, or guarantee exclusive local processing. This page describes the scope of this independent guide's demo only.
Observed Data Storage
The game source explicitly uses localStorage to persist the following states:
- Settled Balance: The virtual coin balance, including zero, persists across page reloads.
- Fractional Carry: Fractional changes to the balance persist through settlement, manual refill, and page reload.
The use of localStorage does not establish anonymity or exclude other data processing. Clearing cached files may leave local storage intact if not explicitly cleared.
Network Requests
The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet request. This indicates that font files are loaded from external servers. Actual full-site network capture remains pending for this demo, so other third-party requests may exist but are not yet confirmed.
Wallet Mechanics & Restoration
The demo wallet has specific rules for balance management:
- Initial Balance: 1000 virtual coins.
- Manual Restoration: When the balance is idle below 10, the user can manually restore the balance to exactly 1000. This action sets the balance; it does not add coins or trigger automatic replenishment.
- Fractional Carry: Fractional values persist through settlement and reload.
- Unfinished Rounds: If a round is unfinished when the page is reloaded, it ends without refund or resume capability.
Account & Payment Flow
The demo operates without an account login flow or payment processing flow.
- Demo Account Flow: None. There is no account-level blocking, self-exclusion, or timer.
- Demo Payment Flow: None. Virtual coins have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn.
The absence of these controls in the demo does not prove that no personal data are processed by the underlying service.
Audience & Responsibility
This guide targets an 18+ audience. This is a policy choice for this guide and not a universal legal age or an implemented age gate.
Responsible use includes optional pauses and setting personal virtual-coin limits. The demo does not clinically train behavior or make losses safe. It does not promise account-level blocking or self-exclusion tools.
Summary of Scope
This page describes only the observed mechanics of the Ticket Cycle demo owned by this independent guide. It does not invent a privacy policy for an outside service. Terms explain this guide's scope and do not establish an outside company's policies.
Frequently asked questions
Does using localStorage mean my data is anonymous?
No. The use of localStorage for balance and fractional carry does not establish anonymity or exclude other data processing by the underlying application.
What happens to my balance if I refresh the page?
Settled balances persist. However, if a round is unfinished, it ends without refund or resume capability upon reload.
Is there an account login in this demo?
No. The demo has no account login flow, no payment processing, and no virtual coins with cash value.
