Privacy Policy

Who we are

Darkr is a free browser game operated by Darkr, an independent game by Gavin Thompson, in Alberta, Canada. For privacy questions, or to ask us to delete your account, email darkrdotgg@gmail.com.

How Darkr works

You can play Darkr in your browser without creating an account. Your game progress is stored locally on your device, in your browser’s localStorage (and a local IndexedDB copy as a backup). Settings such as volume and graphics preferences also stay on your device.

If you want your progress to follow you from one device or browser to another, you can optionally sign in with Google or Discord. We use that sign-in only to identify your account and sync your cloud save. We do not use passwords.

Information we collect

If you play without signing in, we do not collect personal account information. Your save and settings remain on your device.

If you choose to sign in, we collect and store:

• Your email address
• Your display name, when the sign-in provider gives us one
• A provider account ID from Google or Discord, so we can recognize you on later visits
• Your game save data, so we can sync it to your account
• A session cookie named darkr_sid, which is HttpOnly, Secure, and essential to keep you signed in (it lasts up to 90 days, or until you sign out)

During Google or Discord sign-in we also set a short-lived, HttpOnly cookie named darkr_oauth (about 10 minutes) to protect the sign-in process.

Your IP address is used only transiently to limit how often sign-in and save requests can be made. We do not use it to build a profile, and those rate-limit records are not kept as a lasting part of your account.

Where it’s stored

Account information and cloud saves are stored on Cloudflare, in a D1 database, on our behalf. Local saves and settings remain in your browser until you clear them or we write an updated local copy.

How we use the information

We use this information to operate Darkr: to sign you in, keep your session, sync and restore your cloud save, prevent abuse, and respond to deletion or support requests. We do not use it for advertising.

Darkr’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google user data only to sign you in and identify your account so we can sync your cloud save.

What we don’t do

Darkr has no ads. We do not sell your data. We do not use third-party analytics on the game or this site. Google and Discord process their own sign-in under their policies; we do not receive more from them than is needed to sign you in.

Deleting your account

To delete your Darkr account and cloud saves, email darkrdotgg@gmail.com from the address on the account and ask us to delete it. We will delete your account, identities, session, and cloud save. A copy of your save may still remain in your own browser until you clear the site’s data. Signing out only ends your session; it does not delete your account.

Children

Darkr is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please email darkrdotgg@gmail.com and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy as Darkr changes. When we do, we will post the new version at this page and update the date above. If you keep using Darkr after a change, the updated policy applies.
