Privacy Policy

Stick Duels is a browser-based archery game distributed via Telegram and the Google Play Store. This policy describes what data the game collects, how it is used, and how to contact us about it.

Data we collect

• Account identifier. When you sign in through Telegram (via @stickduels_bot) or Google Sign-In, we store a non-reversible user ID plus the display nickname you choose. We do not store your email or Google profile beyond that sign-in exchange.
• Match history. Wins, losses, ratings, and score history for the duel and Moving Targets modes. This data is tied to your account identifier.
• Gameplay telemetry. Round-trip latency samples for quality monitoring. No device identifiers, no advertising IDs, no location.
• Local storage. Personal-best scores and a short auth token are kept in your browser's localStorage. Clearing site data removes them.

How we use it

• To match you with opponents and compute ratings.
• To display leaderboards and your own match history.
• To keep the server up and detect abuse or crashes.

We do not sell or share your data with advertisers.

Third parties

• Google Identity Services — used only during sign-in to verify your identity. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Telegram — used when you launch the game through the bot. See Telegram's privacy policy at telegram.org/privacy.
• Fly.io — our hosting provider, which processes request logs as a data processor on our behalf.

Data retention

Account records are kept as long as your account exists. You can request deletion at the email address below and we will remove all records associated with your account within 30 days. Gameplay telemetry is retained for 30 days in rolling logs.

Children

Stick Duels is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
