Privacy Policy

Operator DaLBlossomprocesses the following information to provide ArcadePick accounts, game saves, comments and feedback.

Information collected and its purpose

• Email registration: email, display name, password verification hash, registration date and verification status. Used for sign-in and account recovery.
• Google sign-in: your Google account identifier and verified email. We never receive your Google password.
• Profile: your chosen color, private notes and feedback notification preferences. Private notes are not shown to other users.
• Comments, upvotes and reports: content, time, and either a member identifier or a hash of a signed guest-cookie identifier. Used to display and edit content, prevent duplicate upvotes, handle reports and enforce guest limits.
• Feedback: category, related game, content, time, author, status and operator reply. Only the author and administrators can view it. Member feedback notifications and read status are also stored.
• Game progress: member progress, clears, personal records, settings and favorites are saved to the account and restored across devices. Guest progress stays in the browser and is imported to an account only when you choose to do so.
• Account protection: sign-in sessions, one-time verification tokens, request limits, and hashed login-failure identifiers, counts and times. Admin roles, suspensions and audit logs support operation and abuse prevention.

Optional analytics

Visit analytics is on by default. You can turn it off in Privacy preferences in the footer. Previous opt-outs are retained. Games, accounts and comments remain available when analytics is off. We collect hashed browser identifiers, session identifiers, site paths, referring domains and campaigns, device categories, language, page views, game entry, sharing and page performance. For games, we collect stages, modes, attempts, completion, failure, pauses, exits and active play time. While signed in, these records are linked to your account to analyze player progress. Only administrators can view accounts together with analytics records. Analytics events do not contain authentication tokens, raw IP addresses or email addresses.

Analytics is stored on ArcadePick servers. Turning off Visit analytics in Privacy preferences in the footer stops further collection and deletes data collected under the current browser identifier. Each browser has its own preference. Administrator account events are excluded from analytics.

Only administrators can view online presence: member display name or guest code, current page, game, stage, play status and last-seen time. Presence records become eligible for deletion 24 hours after the last update. Turning off analytics also deletes presence records for the current browser.

Retention and deletion

Account deletion removes the account, member comments, upvotes, feedback, notifications, profile, game saves, backups and game analytics linked to the account. Authors can delete comments and undo upvotes. Audit logs are detached from the deleted account. Contact us below to access or delete personal information written in moderation reasons.

Sign-in sessions last up to 7 days, email verification links 24 hours, and password reset or deletion links 30 minutes. Cleanup removes expired data; guest posting-limit records become eligible after 2 days. Analytics is eligible for cleanup after 90 days, login failures after 30, audits and guest feedback after 365, and notifications after 180. Member feedback remains until account deletion or a separate deletion request.

Guest records and temporary copies on members’ devices remain until you reset them or clear browser data. Progress that could not be uploaded is retried after reconnection. Deleting an account does not erase records on your device. The production database and automatic backups are stored in Google Cloud’s Seoul region. We retain the latest 7 automatic backups and 7 days of point-in-time recovery logs. Backups containing deleted information are not used for normal service operations; account deletion and data deletion requests are reapplied during disaster recovery. A manual backup of the initial schema, containing no member information, is kept separately for recovery.

Cookies and external services

We use cookies to maintain sign-in, verify Google authentication requests and identify guest comments, votes and feedback and rankings. Guest and language cookies last up to one year; analytics preference cookies last up to 180 days. The browser also stores language, advertising and analytics preferences, plus session and campaign information when analytics is on. Advertising and analytics preferences remain until you change them or clear browser data, and do not sync across browsers. Deleting the guest cookie removes the ability to recover ownership of previous guest comments and feedback and rankings.

No external analytics tool is connected. Local mock ads make no external ad requests. We use Google Cloud for hosting and incident response, and retain Cloud Logging access and error logs for 30 days. Google sign-in sends authentication request information to Google. Requests to verify an email address, reset a password or confirm account deletion send the recipient address, message subject and body, and a one-time link to Resend. Mail is sent from the Tokyo region; Resend stores email metadata, logs and API records in the United States. Resend states that its standard plans retain email and log data for 30 days and recovery backups for 7 days. These operations may involve international transfers depending on where you live. If you do not want external authentication or email delivery, those account features are unavailable, but you can play games as a guest.

Kakao AdFit advertising

Advertising is on by default, and Kakao AdFit scripts load in advertising placements. They do not load in browsers where advertising was previously turned off. Ad requests may transmit or use information such as IP addresses, browser details, the current page and cookies with Kakao. We do not pass your account email or game saves to ad code. You can turn advertising off in Privacy preferences in the footer. Doing so removes ad areas and stops new ad requests. Information already transmitted and Kakao cookies are handled or deleted according to Kakao policies and your browser settings. Games and account features remain available with advertising off.

Kakao privacy policy

Game rankings

Member completion records are automatically submitted when account progress is saved or synced after login. We use an existing public nickname or a generated nickname, never an email or account name. You can change the nickname or disable automatic submission and publication in your account ranking settings. Guests submit a nickname and game record; a hash of a signed browser cookie controls ownership. Submitted guest save data is used only for validation and is not retained separately. We retain the public nickname, best record and creation/update times, plus the source save revision for members. Withdrawal hides the record; account deletion removes associated rankings and settings. Resetting a game does not delete rankings. Guests who clear their cookie cannot directly manage earlier records and may contact us below to request deletion. Moderation flags persist after withdrawal and re-submission.

Your choices and contact options
