Privacy Policy | Lobbystrike

This policy covers the Lobbystrike website (lobbystrike.com) and the Lobbystrike game (play.lobbystrike.com). It says what is collected, why, and what you can do about it.

The short version

This website sets no cookies and runs no advertising or analytics trackers.
You can play without signing up. The game then creates a guest account that holds your progress.
Personal data is not sold and is not used for advertising.
You can ask for your account and its data to be deleted.

What this website collects

The website is a set of static pages. It has no forms, no cookies and no tracking scripts. The company that hosts it (Vercel) keeps standard request logs, which include the IP address, the browser type and the page requested, to deliver the pages and to keep the service secure.

What the game collects

Account details. A guest account is an anonymous identifier with no name or email attached. If you sign in with Google or with an email address and password, the game receives your email address and, for Google, your basic profile (name and picture). Passwords are handled by the sign-in provider and are never seen or stored by the game.
Player profile and progress. The player name you choose, your level, statistics, challenges, loadouts, unlocked items and settings.
Pictures you upload. An avatar or player card picture, if you choose to add one. Other players can see it.
Technical data. Your IP address, the time you were last seen and the messages your browser exchanges with the game server during a match (movement, shots, chat). These are needed to run the match and to stop abuse.
Moderation records. Reports made by or about a player, and actions such as mutes, renames and bans.
Data kept in your browser. Settings, key bindings and some progress are saved in your browser's local storage so they are still there on your next visit. You can clear them in your browser at any time.

Why it is used

To run matches and show you to the other players in your room.
To save your progress and show leaderboards.
To keep the game fair and safe: preventing cheating, enforcing the Terms of Use and acting on reports.
To find and fix faults.

Who processes it

Lobbystrike uses a small number of service providers, each only for the job named here: Google Firebase for sign-in and the player database, Cloudinary for uploaded pictures, Render for the game servers and Vercel for this website. They may process data in countries other than your own. Data is not shared with advertisers or data brokers.

What other players can see

Your player name, level, statistics, leaderboard position, avatar and player card are visible to other players. Chat messages are sent to the players in your room. Your email address and IP address are never shown to other players.

How long it is kept

Account data is kept while the account is in use. Guest accounts that have not been used for a long time may be deleted. Moderation records are kept for as long as they are needed to enforce a decision. Server logs are kept for a short period.

Your choices

You can change your player name and remove your uploaded pictures in the game. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to see, correct, export or delete your personal data, or to object to how it is used.

Children

Lobbystrike is a shooting game and is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has given personal data to the game, get in touch and it will be removed.

Changes

This policy is updated when the game or the website changes what they collect. The date at the top of the page shows the latest version.
