This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which LudoRoyale ("we," "us," or "our"), accessible at free-ludo.vercel.app, collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users ("you" or "your") of the website. This policy applies to the site and all services offered by LudoRoyale.
1. Information We Collect
LudoRoyale does not require account registration or sign-up. We collect minimal data necessary to provide the game experience:
Player Name
You may enter a display name when joining a game. This name is stored locally on your device using localStorage and is shared with other players in the same game session via Firebase Realtime Database.
Player ID
A randomly generated identifier is stored in your browser's localStorage to distinguish you from other players. This is not linked to any personal information and is never shared with third parties.
Game State Data
During gameplay, game states (dice rolls, piece positions, turn order, etc.) are temporarily stored in Firebase Realtime Database to synchronize the game between players in real time.
Chat Messages
If you use the in-game chat feature, your messages are transmitted and temporarily stored in Firebase Realtime Database for the duration of the game session. Messages are associated with your player name and are visible to other players in the same game room.
We do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, payment information, or any other personally identifiable information. We do not support file uploads of any kind.
2. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used solely to provide and improve the game experience:
- To identify you within a game session so other players can see your name
- To synchronize game state in real time between all players in a room
- To enable in-game chat communication between players
- To remember your display name across sessions for convenience (via localStorage)
- To improve site performance and user experience
We do not sell, trade, or rent your information to third parties. We do not use your data for profiling, marketing, or any purpose beyond providing the game service.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
localStorage
We use your browser's localStorage to store your player ID and display name. This data never leaves your device unless you join a game session, at which point your display name is shared with other players in the room.
Technical Cookies
Our site may use essential technical cookies required for basic site functionality (e.g., session management). These cookies do not track you across websites and contain no personal information.
Third-Party Cookies (Advertising)
We plan to integrate Google AdSense to display advertisements. Once enabled, Google may place cookies on your device to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your browsing activity. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
You can clear localStorage data and cookies at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will reset your player name and ID, requiring you to enter a new name.
4. Third-Party Services
LudoRoyale relies on the following third-party services to operate:
Firebase Realtime Database (Google)
We use Firebase Realtime Database to store and synchronize game states, player names, and chat messages in real time. Firebase is operated by Google and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. Data stored in Firebase is transient and associated with game sessions, not individual user accounts.
Google AdSense (Planned)
We plan to integrate Google AdSense to display advertisements on the site. Once enabled, Google AdSense may collect data through cookies and web beacons to serve ads. This may include information about your visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You may opt out of personalized advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.
Vercel (Hosting)
Our site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and access times for operational and security purposes. See Vercel's Privacy Policy for details.
5. Data Retention
- localStorage data(player name, player ID) persists on your device until you manually clear your browser data. We have no access to or control over data stored in your browser's localStorage.
- Game state data in Firebase is temporary and is associated with active game sessions. Game data may be automatically cleaned up after sessions end or after a period of inactivity.
- Chat messages are stored in Firebase for the duration of the game session and may be removed when the game room is cleaned up.
We do not maintain long-term archives of game data, chat messages, or player information.
6. Children's Privacy
LudoRoyale is a casual board game suitable for players of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Since we do not require account creation and only store a self-chosen display name, no verification of age is performed. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through our service, please contact us at Mukeshdr005@gmail.com and we will take steps to remove that information.
7. Your Rights
Because LudoRoyale collects minimal data and does not require accounts, you have straightforward control over your information:
- Delete your local data:Clear your browser's localStorage and cookies to remove your player name and ID.
- Leave a game session: Simply close the browser tab. Your participation data will be cleaned up with the game session.
- Opt out of personalized ads:Once AdSense is enabled, use Google's Ad Settings or your browser's cookie controls to manage ad personalization.
- Request data removal: Contact us at Mukeshdr005@gmail.com if you have any concerns about data associated with your usage.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
LudoRoyale reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to periodically review this page to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the site after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
