Privacy Policy

Effective: October 2, 2026

This policy explains what data the Stenochki game at stenochki.com collects, why, and who it is shared with. The data controller is the game's developer, Andrii Kolomatskyi (Anri Mars). Contact: [email protected].

1. Playing without an account

Your progress and settings (campaign stars, selected hero, sound, etc.) are stored only in your browser (localStorage) and are not sent to us. The game does not use advertising or analytics cookies.

2. If you create an account

• Email address — for signing in, confirming your email and resetting your password. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and name from Google.
• Nickname — by default it is based on your Google name or the beginning of your email address; you can change it in your profile.
• Game data — progress, match statistics, level, rating and selected hero.
• Purchases and virtual currency — balance, items, a log of credits and debits, payment ID, product and amount.

3. Payments

Payments are made on Tebex's checkout page. Card and payment details are entered only with Tebex; we never receive them. After a payment, Tebex sends us the payment ID, the purchased product, the amount and your in-game account ID so that we can credit your crystals. We do not store the buyer's name, email address or IP address from this notification. Tebex's processing of personal data is described in Tebex's privacy policy.

4. Playing with a friend

When you play with a friend by code, your browsers connect directly (WebRTC) via a connection-setup server. For this, your IP address becomes known to that server and to your friend's browser. Match contents are not stored.

5. Why we use data

• to provide sign-in, cloud saves, ranked play and leaderboards;
• to credit purchases and handle payment questions;
• to protect the game against fraud and cheating;
• to send service emails (email confirmation, password reset). We do not send newsletters or advertising.

6. Service providers

We do not sell personal data or share it for advertising. To run the game we use:

• Supabase — database and authentication;
• Cloudflare — website hosting and attack protection (processes IP addresses and technical request data);
• Tebex — payment processing;
• Google — if you choose to sign in with Google;
• an email delivery service for service emails;
• a connection-setup server for friend matches (PeerJS).

These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States and the European Union.

7. What other players can see

Your nickname, level, rating, rank and selected hero are visible in the game and on leaderboards. Your email address is never shown to anyone.

8. Retention

Account data is kept for as long as the account exists. Payment records may be kept longer where required by accounting and tax laws.

9. Your rights

You can request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or delete your account together with its data. Write to [email protected] from your account email; we will reply within 30 days. You may also contact the data protection authority in your country.

10. Children

If you are under 16, please create an account only with the consent of a parent or guardian. If we learn that a child's account was created without such consent, we will delete it.

11. Changes

Any new version of this policy is published on this page with its effective date. Significant changes are announced in the game.
