WHAT THE MACHINE REMEMBERS

This arcade was built to be haunted, not to harvest you. It keeps no advertising profile, sells no data, and runs no third-party analytics. This page is the honest inventory of what the machines do remember.

Account data (stored on your device)

Accounts live in your browser. Your name, email and password hash are stored in that device's local storage only — the password is salted and stretched with PBKDF2 (600,000 iterations) before it is ever stored, and the hash never leaves the machine.

Account data (stored on the server)

To run leaderboards and cloud saves we keep an account record keyed by your email: your membership tier, a hashed device credential, and your verified runs (score, seed and the input log used to re-simulate them). Cloud saves you upload are stored as-is.

Billing

Payments are handled entirely by Stripe — card numbers, addresses and payment methods go to Stripe, never to us. We store only the Stripe customer and subscription identifiers needed to know who is paid up.

Telemetry

By default the site reports anonymized performance metrics to its own servers: Core Web Vitals (load, responsiveness, layout shift), frame-time percentiles on game pages, and — when a cabinet malfunctions — a crash snapshot of the run state. None of these include your name, email, address or anything typed into a game. Turn them off at any time:Settings → Telemetry. Crash snapshots are unaffected by that switch — they are the malfunction card's only evidence.

How long we keep things

• Crash telemetry — 30 days, capped at 10,000 records.
• Vitals and frame telemetry — 90 days.
• Checkout session claims — 7 days.
• Reconciliation log — 90 days.
• Leaderboard runs and cloud saves — until the account is deleted.

Deleting your data

From your account page, choose Delete my data. That removes the server-side account, all leaderboard runs, points and cloud saves in one pass, and wipes the local account record too. Or email[email protected]and the arcade will do it for you.
