In compliance with EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).

1. DATA COLLECTED AND PURPOSES

Pixel Clash collects and processes the following data exclusively to allow the game to function:

  • Email address: securely collected via Supabase Auth and Google/Discord OAuth for the sole purpose of authenticating the user and saving account progress on the map.
  • Username / social tag: collected via manual entry or inherited from OAuth to identify actions on the map, populate public leaderboards, and support live chat.
  • IP address: temporarily processed by the Express/Node.js server to handle WebSocket routing, prevent abuse, and support security/anti-fraud checks.
  • Gameplay data: activity, territory ownership, credits, and other service-related game events needed to maintain the shared map and account wallet.
  • Payment data: handled through authorized providers such as Stripe when merchants or credits purchases are required.

2. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

The site uses technical and third-party cookies strictly necessary for commercial features:

  • Stripe: technical cookies necessary for authentication, fraud prevention, and secure payment processing via Stripe Checkout.
  • Google IMA SDK / AdSense: used for delivering advertisements (banners and rewarded videos).

3. CONSENT MANAGEMENT (GDPR COMPLIANCE)

In compliance with the choices expressed by the user via the initial cookie banner:

  • If the user clicks REJECT, Google's advertising services will be forced to run in NPA (Non-Personalized Ads) mode. No profiling cookies will be installed, and ads will be purely contextual and generic.
  • If the user clicks ACCEPT, personalized ads based on the user's interests will be enabled to maximize monetization.

The choice is stored locally in the browser via localStorage and can be reset by clearing the browser cache.

4. RETENTION PERIOD AND RIGHTS

Profile data remains active until deletion is requested by the user, which can be done by contacting game support. Grid data (pixel ownership) remains historicized in the server backup files to ensure map continuity.

Users may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of their personal data, as well as object to processing where legally permitted.

5. SHARING, SECURITY, AND UPDATES

Pixel Clash may share data with trusted processors such as hosting providers, OAuth identity providers, payment processors, analytics, and ad-tech suppliers required for service operation. We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards and update our policies over time to reflect changes in law, services, or security requirements.
