Privacy

This is a joke site that takes real payments, so here’s exactly what happens to your information.

What we keep

• The name you enter and the country you pick. Both go on the public list once you pay, which is the point of the site.
• The time you paid, what you paid for, and the ID Square gives your payment, so we can match the payment to the name.

Each paid crown also gets a public page and a picture showing the name, the country, the crown’s number, the date, and how long the name stayed on top. Those stay up after the crown has moved on. A Hall of Fame seat stays on the home page.

If you go to checkout and don’t pay, your name never appears on the site and we delete what you entered within 30 days.

Payments

Square runs the checkout. Your card number, email address and billing details go to Square, and this site never sees your card details. Our Square seller account shows a record of each sale, which can include your name and email. We don’t copy that into this site or use it for marketing. Square explains what it does in its privacy notice.

Your country

Cloudflare, which hosts this site, makes a rough guess at your country from your IP address. We use the guess to preselect the country menu. It isn’t saved unless you pay, and you can change it before you do.

What we don’t do

There are no accounts, cookies, analytics or ads, and nothing is saved in your browser. The fonts and flags load from this site, so no other company sees your visit until you go to Square’s checkout. Cloudflare handles ordinary web traffic such as your IP address in order to deliver the page.

While the home page is open it asks this site for the current list about every 20 seconds, so a new crown shows up without a reload. That request carries nothing about you.

Search engines

A crown’s own page names one person, so we tell search engines not to list those pages, and the home page’s title never includes a name. Search engines can still read the home page, which shows the most recent names.

Taking a name off the list

Email [email protected] and we’ll remove it, along with its crown pages, pictures and Hall of Fame seat. You don’t need to be the person who paid. A copy of a picture can linger in caches for up to a day, and we can’t recall one that somebody has already saved or shared. To delete a purchase record, send the same email. Square keeps its own payment records, and we can’t erase those.

Kids

This site isn’t meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.
