Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
What We Collect
VoltCade collects minimal data to provide leaderboard and game features:
- Player initials (3 characters) — submitted voluntarily with high scores
- Game scores — submitted when you choose to post to leaderboards
- IP address — recorded with each game you start and each score you post. We use it to count unique visitors, to understand how the games are played, and to keep the leaderboards fair. It is visible only to VoltCade's administrators and is never shown publicly.
- Anonymous analytics — page views and basic usage (no personal identifiers)
- Local preferences — favorites, streak data, and settings stored in your browser/device
- Optional account — if you create one: a username, your initials, and your password (stored only as a salted one-way hash). A single sign-in cookie keeps you signed in. You can delete your account at any time from the account page; your scores then remain on the leaderboards as plain initials.
What We Don't Collect
- No email addresses or real names
- No GPS or precise location data
- No cookies for tracking or advertising (the only cookie we set is the optional sign-in cookie)
- No third-party ad trackers
- No data is sold to third parties
Advertising
VoltCade does not show ads at present, and no advertising code or advertising cookies are loaded. If ads are introduced, this section will describe who serves them, the cookies they use, and how to opt out, before they appear.
Push Notifications
The VoltCade mobile app may request permission to send push notifications for daily challenges and score updates. You can disable these at any time in your device settings. No personal data is collected through push notifications.
Data Storage
Scores and player initials are stored on secure servers. Local preferences are stored on your device using browser storage or native storage on the mobile app.
Children's Privacy
VoltCade is a casual gaming platform suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The only user-submitted data is 3-character initials for leaderboards and, optionally, a username and password for an account. Accounts never require an email address or real name.
Changes
We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
