Privacy

About this prototype

Arcade stores nicknames, private game state and recent plain-text chat in MySQL for six hours. Only room members can read messages. The last 200 messages are retained, with up to 50 delivered per snapshot. Expiry blocks access immediately; scheduled hourly cleanup deletes expired Arcade rooms and related data. Browser session storage keeps private access and retry keys. Do not share these keys or post sensitive information. Existing request logs and backup retention depend on the operator.

One-phone and Solo progress stays in your browser. Rooms and challenges send nicknames and choices to this Laravel server, stored in private local files. Room links last 6 hours and challenge links 7 days. Files may remain after access expires until the operator removes them.

A preference cookie remembers your language. The browser’s language is used on your first visit. The local framework may also use session cookies and request logs. No analytics or advertising integrations have been added.

Before launch

The final privacy policy must describe the deployed service’s data handling, retention, contacts, and user rights.
