At Rock Paper Scissors Online, your privacy is a top priority. This Privacy Policy explains in clear language exactly what information is (and is not) collected, how your data is handled, what third-party services operate on this site, and what rights you have as a visitor. Please read this document carefully.
1. Information We Collect
1a. Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us via the Contact page, you may voluntarily provide your name and email address. This information is used solely to respond to your message and is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
1b. Automatically Collected Technical Data
Like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) may automatically collect basic server access logs. These logs may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, the page you accessed, and the time of your visit. This data is used strictly for server security, error diagnosis, and uptime monitoring. We do not sell or share this data with advertisers.
2. Game Data and Local Storage
The game stores the following data exclusively in your browser's Local Storage. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers:
- Dark/Light Mode preference — so your preferred theme persists between sessions
- High Score and Best Win Streak — so your personal records are saved across visits
- Service Worker Cache — so the game is available offline after your first visit
You can clear all Local Storage data at any time through your browser's developer tools or by clearing your browsing data. Doing so will reset your high score, win streak, and theme preference.
3. Cookies
3a. First-Party Cookies
We do not set any custom first-party tracking cookies on this website. The only browser storage we use is Local Storage (not cookies) for the game preferences described above.
3b. Third-Party Cookies (Google AdSense)
This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may set its own cookies on your browser to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your browsing history across the web. These cookies are governed entirely by Google's Privacy Policy.
Common cookie names set by Google AdSense include but are not limited to:
- IDE — Used by Google DoubleClick to register and report user actions after viewing or clicking an ad (duration: up to 1 year)
- DSID — Used to identify a signed-in user on non-Google sites (duration: 2 weeks)
- __gads — Set by Google Ad Manager to store information about how the user uses the website for advertising purposes (duration: up to 2 years)
3c. Opting Out of Ad Personalization
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ad Settings. You can also manage or disable cookies globally through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of this website function.
4. Third-Party Services
This website uses the following third-party services, each operating under their own privacy policies:
- Google AdSense — Advertising platform. Privacy Policy
- Vercel — Hosting and CDN provider. Privacy Policy
- Google Fonts — Typography delivery. Loads font files from Google's servers; Google may log request metadata per their privacy policy.
- canvas-confetti (jsDelivr CDN) — Open-source confetti animation library used on win screens. No tracking or data collection involved.
5. Children's Privacy
This website is appropriate for general audiences including children. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union). The game does not require account creation or personal information submission to play.
However, because Google AdSense is active on this site, parents and guardians are advised to supervise younger children's browsing, as ad content is served algorithmically by Google and is not individually reviewed by us. For ad-free browsing, consider using a browser with an ad-blocker extension installed.
6. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you (e.g., contact messages you sent us).
- Right to Deletion: Request erasure of any personal data we have stored.
- Right to Opt-Out: Opt out of ad personalization via Google Ad Settings.
- Right to Portability: Request your personal data in a portable format.
- California Residents (CCPA): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold, and to opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at niranjansingh1419@gmail.com.
7. Data Security
While no online transmission is 100% secure, we take reasonable technical precautions to protect your information. Our site is served over HTTPS encryption, and we regularly monitor for security vulnerabilities. All game data is stored locally on your own device, minimizing any centralized data exposure risk.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal obligations. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of this website after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
