What is collected

webcade uses PostHog, an analytics service, to see how the site is used and where it breaks. When you use the site it records:

• The pages you open, by kind of page (“a match”, “an invite”), never the private part of a link.
• What you do in the games: starting and finishing puzzles and snake rounds, sending and answering invites, joining a match.
• Your browser, device type, screen size, and language, where you arrived from, and your approximate location (country and region), worked out from your IP address.
• How fast pages load, and errors the site runs into.

If you have an account

While you are signed in, that activity is linked to your account by an internal ID number, plus the month you joined and whether you have added a photo. Your email, username, name, birth year, and city are never sent to analytics. webcade accounts are for people 13 and older.

Signing in with Google

The sign-in window shows Google's sign-in button, which loads from Google when you open it, so Google sees that visit. If you use it, Google tells webcade your email address, that Google has verified it, and your name, which only fills in your profile for you to change. webcade never sees your Google password. Google's policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.

What is not done

No session recordings or screenshots, no tracking across other websites, and no advertising. Your data is not sold.

On your device

PostHog keeps a random ID in your browser's local storage so a return visit counts as the same visitor. There are no analytics cookies.

Opting out

If your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, webcade does not load or send analytics. Clearing this site's data resets the random ID, and tracker blockers work too. PostHog's own policy is at posthog.com/privacy.
