Effective Date: October 4, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to BrainArcade ("we", "our", or "us"), hosted at https://brainarcade.app. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, usage, cookies, and your privacy rights.
2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies Disclosure
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its third-party advertising partners use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and/or other websites on the Internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to BrainArcade and other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
3. Local Storage (Device-Only Data)
BrainArcade operates primarily on client-side storage (HTML5 LocalStorage). We do not require registration or passwords. The following preferences are stored locally on your device:
- High scores, streak records, coin balance, and unlocked themes.
- Audio volume settings (BGM and SFX preferences).
- Player nickname and chosen country flag.
You can reset this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data/cache.
4. Public Leaderboards & Duels
When you submit a score to the Global Leaderboard or create a Ghost Duel room, your chosen nickname, country flag, score, and game mode are processed by our Cloudflare Workers API to be displayed publicly. No email address, IP address, or personally identifiable information (PII) is published.
5. GDPR & CCPA Compliance
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users possess the right to data access, modification, and deletion. Because we do not store personal profiles or tracking identifiers, clearing your browser storage effectively removes all localized user data.
