Privacy Policy

The short, honest version: Arcade.now collects almost nothing. Guests can play every game without giving us a single byte of personal data - High scores you submit carry only the nickname you type. If you sign in, Google tells us your email address and display name, and that is the complete extent of your "profile" here.

We don't sell data, we don't run third-party ad trackers, and we can't email you marketing because we never ask for permission to. Everything below is the long form of those three sentences. Effective date: July 4, 2026.

What We Store

  • Scores: game, points, run time, date, and either your account ID or a guest nickname.
  • Account data (optional): email address, display name and Google account ID - Received from Google Sign-In, used only to log you in and label your scores.
  • Ratings & feedback: star ratings (tied to your account or a one-way hash of your IP to prevent double-voting) and anything you send via the contact form.
  • Local device data: your best scores, sound preference and guest nickname live in your browser's localStorage and never leave your device.

What We Never Do

  • No selling or sharing of personal data with advertisers or brokers.
  • No email/password accounts - So there are no passwords for us to leak.
  • No cross-site tracking pixels or fingerprinting.

Cookies

One session cookie, and only after you sign in - It keeps you logged in. Full details on the cookies page.

Legal Bases & Your Rights

We process account data to provide the service you requested (signing in and appearing on leaderboards) and scores because leaderboards are the product. You can request a copy or deletion of everything tied to your account at any time via the contact form - Deletion removes your account and anonymizes your leaderboard entries within 30 days.

Children

The games are family-friendly; the data collection is minimal by design. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 - Guest play involves no personal data at all.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the effective date above changes with it and the footer's "content updated" stamp will reflect it.
