Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information 5 BOROUGHS (the "Game") collects, why, and what choices you have. The Game is built to collect as little as possible.

1. Play without an account

You can play the Game as a guest. Guest campaigns are stored in your own browser (local storage) and are not sent to us. Clearing your browser data clears your guest record.

2. Accounts

If you create an account to appear on the leaderboard, we store the information needed to run it: a handle, sign-in credentials or provider identifier, and your game results (wins, losses, difficulty, scores). We use this only to operate accounts, ranked play, and the leaderboard.

3. Cloud saves

If you are signed in, you may sync campaign saves to our servers so you can resume across devices. These saves contain game state only — no sensitive personal data. You can delete them by deleting the save or your account.

4. Payments

Donations are handled by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card details. Stripe processes payment data under its own privacy policy. We may receive confirmation that a payment succeeded and the amount and tier.

5. Analytics and cookies

We use only the cookies and local storage necessary to keep you signed in, remember your light/dark theme preference, and run the Game. We do not sell your data or use it for third-party advertising.

6. Children

The Game is for players 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will remove it.

7. Data retention and deletion

We keep account and leaderboard data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

8. Your choices

• Play as a guest to share nothing with our servers.
• Delete cloud saves individually or delete your account entirely.
• Manage cookies through your browser settings (note that sign-in may stop working).

9. Changes

We may update this Policy as the Game evolves. Material changes are reflected by the "last updated" date above.
