Privacy policy

When you register for an account, your email address and username are stored.
This lets you reset your password and makes it possible to show your username on the leaderboards.

For each score uploaded, the following data is stored:

• a replay of the game, to let other players see how you achieved your score and to detect invalid scores.
• the accounts of the players that played in the game, to know who is responsible for the score.
• the date at which the score was uploaded, to be able to sort and filter scores by date.
• a two letter country code of the country deducted from the IP address that uploaded the score, to allow filtering scores based on the country.
• the version (for example "v0.1.88") and platform (for example "Android") of the game used to create the score, again to allow filtering scores based on the version and platform.

For each comment posted, the following data is stored:

• the content of the comment, to be able to actually display the comment.
• the account of the player that posted the comment, to show who posted the comment and to know who is allowed to erase the comment.
• the date at which the comment was posted, to be able to show the date, and to sort the comments by date.

For every level you play, the following data is stored:

• How many times you played the level, to be able to show you how many times you played the level.
• How long you played the level, to be able to show you how long you played the level.
• The average score you've made, to be able to show you what is your average score.

In the future, the following data may also be stored:

• If you upload content or data, (for example custom levels, ratings, ...), the data and any information relevant to that data that could provide useful features may be uploaded, including the date at which the data was submitted, and the author of the data.
• Lists of accounts, for example a list of your friends, or a list of creators that you follow.
• Metadata derived from your actions, for example an average of your ranks across the levels, or some achievements you've achieved.
• The list of PewPew-related purchases, for example to allow you to enjoy your purchases across devices.

Data retention

Because all the data is necessary for the features that the game offers, most of the data is usually never deleted. Obsolete scores will eventually be deleted.

Deleting your data

See the account help page for instructions on how to delete your account.

Third parties

The database containing the information of all players is hosted on a 3rd party cloud, which currently is Google. The verification emails and password reset emails are sent using 3rd party services, which currently are mailjet and sendgrid. Those services will see your email addresses.
