Error Reports
Occasionally, Jigsaw Explorer's puzzle program might encounter an error caused by a bug in the browser, in a browser plug-in, or in the puzzle program itself. In those instances, the puzzle program automatically sends error data in the background to the RayGun error tracking service. Our Support personnel can then examine the resulting error report and use the information it contains to determine the cause of the error and apply a fix to the puzzle program, if needed.
Error reports contain information such as computer operating system version, browser brand and version, log information showing the type and code location of the error, and information regarding state changes in the puzzle program leading up to the error. The error reports contain no personally identifiable information other than an anonymized ID used to correlate multiple errors from the same user. Error report data is retained for 180 days and then deleted. See RayGun's privacy policy for more information.
