Splatter Yard Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 10, 2026

John Kenneth Falcasantos, the sole developer and owner of Splatter Yard in Quebec, Canada (“we”, “us”), operates the Splatter Yard paintball party game for phones and the web. This policy explains what information the game uses, why, and the choices you have. This policy covers the web game and the Android and iOS apps.

Information we use

Name you choose. When you create or join a room, you type a name. Other players in that room see it. Use a nickname, not your real name.

Room and game play. While you’re in a room, the game sends your room code, your moves, shots and ready status to our server so the match stays in sync for everyone. The host can pick a friendly dare from a fixed list; it is shown to the players in that room. Names that look like an email, phone number, handle or link are refused, and so are rude ones. Hiding a player in the lobby only changes your own screen and sends nothing.

A random session code. Your device makes a random code so the room knows it’s still you if your connection drops. It isn’t an account or advertising identifier. Our server links a hashed version of it to your player record, including your nickname and room activity.

Solo play. Solo Adventure, Quick Play and practice run on your device. Your level progress, character choice and settings are stored locally, along with your saved nickname and ad-frequency settings. We do not provide a server-side progress account. Your operating system may include local data in backups or device transfers, depending on its settings. Clearing app data does not necessarily delete those backups.

Ads. The native apps can show Google AdMob banner and full-screen ads. To deliver ads and prevent fraud, Google may collect device information such as your IP address, device and app information, ad interactions, and diagnostic information. Identifier use depends on platform permissions and the SDK's age-treatment settings. We request child-directed, under-age-of-consent treatment and non-personalised ads. These settings do not mean that no data is processed. Google’s use of this information is covered by Google’s privacy policy and how Google uses information from apps.

Hosting and support. Loading the website or connecting to multiplayer sends network information, including your IP address, to Cloudflare to deliver and protect the service. If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include so we can respond. If you tap Report on a player, your email app opens a message to us with the room code, that player's nickname and the time; we use it to review the report. Do not send passwords or session tokens.

How long we keep it

• Active room records, including nicknames, dares and scores, expire approximately 30 minutes after the last successful room activity. Continuing activity extends that period. Automated cleanup removes expired records from active storage; it is not an immediate erasure of every historical copy. Cloudflare's database recovery history can retain earlier data for up to 30 days.
• Cloudflare Workers Logs keeps basic request logs, such as the time of a request and technical details of the connection, for up to 7 days to keep the service running and secure. They are then deleted automatically. This period describes Workers Logs, not all records that Cloudflare or Google may keep for their own security or legal purposes.
• Local game data remains until you clear it or remove the app, subject to your device's backup and restore behavior. Website data can be removed through your browser's site-data settings. Manage backups separately through your device or backup provider.
• Support correspondence is kept while needed to address the request and any related legal obligations. Provider-held advertising records follow Google's retention practices; the room-expiry period does not apply to them.

Who we share it with

• Players in your room see your name, your character, the dare the host picked and how you play.
• Cloudflare, Inc. hosts and protects the website and multiplayer service and processes connection information and room data.
• Google AdMob provides ads, as described above.

We don’t sell your information and we don’t share it for advertising profiles. Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law.

Where your information is processed

We are based in Quebec, Canada. Our game server runs on Cloudflare’s worldwide network, so game information may be processed outside Quebec and Canada, including the United States, where local laws may let authorities access it. Ad requests go to Google, which also operates worldwide.

Age eligibility and younger players

Splatter Yard is intended for players aged 13 and older, not children under 13. The game displays an age notice but does not ask players to declare their age or collect their date of birth. The notice does not verify age or obtain parental consent. Website hosting processes the connection information described above when the page loads. Multiplayer processes the nickname, session identifier and game activity described above, and advertising and hosting providers may process technical information. We do not ask players for their real name, email, phone number or precise location to play. Use a made-up nickname and do not put personal or contact information in your name. Anyone who obtains a room code can attempt to join; a room code is not parental approval or a guarantee of confidentiality. Ad requests use child-directed and under-age-of-consent settings. If you’re a parent and think your child shared personal information in a name, contact us to request access to or deletion of information we can identify, or to raise a privacy concern. Include the room code and approximate time if available, but do not send session tokens. We may need proportionate verification of your authority before disclosing data.

Your choices

• Playing solo avoids sending multiplayer room activity. Website hosting, native-app advertising, and device backups may still process information as described above.
• Leave multiplayer at any time. Existing room data follows the retention periods above.
• Clear local app or website data to remove progress and settings; manage any backups separately.
• Google's consent service determines whether an advertising privacy message or privacy-options form is available for your region and the app's age-treatment settings. When required by that service, an “Ad privacy choices” button appears in Settings in the native app. Child-directed settings may mean a consent form is not offered.
• You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it by emailing aiwizardtech@gmail.com. We do not keep player accounts. Include enough context to locate the relevant information, such as a room code and approximate time. We may be unable to identify records once they expire. Requests do not automatically erase records held independently by service providers.

Your privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, including Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector and, where applicable, Canada's PIPEDA, you may ask to see or correct the information we hold about you, and withdraw consent to processing that relies on it. Contact us to exercise these rights. Leaving multiplayer stops further room participation but does not itself delete existing records or withdraw every provider consent. You may also have rights to receive a copy of eligible information in a portable format, request deletion, or object to or restrict certain processing, subject to applicable exceptions. You may complain to the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada where it has jurisdiction, or your local privacy regulator.

Security

Connections to our server are encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Avoid sharing personal information with other players; they may retain or share what they see.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update the date at the top and post the new version on this page.
