OVERVIEW
Welcome to Ink Wars. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect,
use, and protect your information when you play our game. We are committed to being transparent
about our data practices and respecting your privacy.
By using Ink Wars, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use the game.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect minimal information necessary to provide the game experience:
- Username/Callsign: The display name you enter when joining a
match. This is visible to other players in your game.
- Gameplay Data: Drawing coordinates, game actions, and match
results transmitted in real-time during gameplay.
- Connection Data: Basic technical information required for
WebSocket connections, such as connection timestamps.
WHAT WE DON'T COLLECT
We do not collect email addresses, passwords, payment information, precise location data, or any
personally identifiable information beyond your chosen username.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
The information we collect is used solely for:
- Matchmaking: Connecting you with other players for 2v2 matches.
- Gameplay: Transmitting your drawing actions to other players in
real-time.
- Display: Showing your username to teammates and opponents during
matches.
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
DATA RETENTION
Session Data: Gameplay data (drawing coordinates, match actions)
exists only during active game sessions and is not permanently stored. When a match ends or you
disconnect, this data is deleted.
Username: Your chosen username is stored only in your browser's
memory for the current session and is not saved to any database.
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Our game may use the following third-party services:
- Hosting Services: Our servers are hosted on Render, which may
collect standard server logs including IP addresses for security and operational purposes.
- Advertising: We may display advertisements through Google
AdSense. Google may use cookies and collect data according to their own privacy policy. You can
learn more at Google's Privacy Policy.
COOKIES & ADVERTISING
Third-party advertisers may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other
websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting
Google Ads
Settings.
DATA SECURITY
We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information transmitted during gameplay.
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We use WebSocket Secure (WSS)
connections to encrypt data in transit.
YOUR RIGHTS
Since we collect minimal data and do not maintain user accounts, most data rights are automatically
fulfilled:
- Access & Deletion: Session data is automatically deleted when you
leave a match.
- Opt-Out: You can stop using the game at any time.
- Do Not Track: We honor Do Not Track browser settings.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an
updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
