Privacy Policy
Shape Smack is a multiplayer game played in the browser and as an app. We never ask for an email or password: a guest account is created automatically on your device when you first play. We process only the minimum data needed to run the game; we use no advertising or tracking tools and no cookies. Error reports and anonymous usage statistics are only collected if you allow them.
What data we process
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| The nickname and room name you enter | To show you to other players in the room and to connect you to the same room | The room name only in server memory while you are in the room; your nickname in your account (below) |
| Guest account: player code, nickname, level, XP, match/win/KO counts, unlocked titles, players you blocked, platform (web/desktop/Android/iOS), account creation and last play time | To keep your progress and to apply blocks and bans | Until you delete your account (Settings → Account → Delete my account, or the account deletion page) |
| Reports: the codes of the reporting and reported players, the reported player's name, room, reason and optional note | To review inappropriate names and behaviour and keep the game safe | Up to 1 year for review and any action taken; if the reporter's account is deleted, their identity is removed from the report |
| Error reports (error message, game version, platform) and anonymous usage statistics (session count, language, platform) only if you allow them | To find bugs and improve the game | Error records up to 90 days; statistics only as daily totals (not linked to any person) |
| Game inputs and game state (movement, attacks, damage, score) | To run the game in real time | Not stored; kept in memory during the match |
| Technical connection logs such as IP address, browser information and request time | To run the service, keep it secure and prevent abuse (e.g. attacks) | For the hosting provider's standard log retention period ([e.g. 30 days]) |
| Settings stored on your device (nickname preference, character, sound and control settings, your consent choice) and your account's secret sign-in key | To remember your settings and your account next time | Only on your device (browser/app local storage); the key is sent to the server only to verify your account, and the server stores only its hash |
Who we share it with
Your nickname, level, title and in-game state are shown to the players in the same room. The game servers run on Google Cloud in the European Union (Belgium and Italy); account and report records are stored in Google Cloud Firestore in the European Union (multi-region: Belgium and the Netherlands). Google Cloud processes this data on our behalf only to provide the service. We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
Children
Shape Smack is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13.
