Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 October 2026
This policy explains what data CyberStrike: Tactical Ops ("the Game") collects and why. You can play the whole Game as a guest without giving us any personal information. Accounts are optional.
1. If you play as a guest
We don't collect personal information. Your progress, inventory, settings and stats are saved in your browser's local storage on your own device. You can delete them at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.
2. If you create an account
We store:
- Your email address, used only to log you in. We don't send marketing emails and never sell or share it.
- Your username, which other players can see (on leaderboards, in lobbies and in friend lists).
- Your password, stored only as a secure one-way hash (scrypt). We can't see or recover your password.
- Gameplay stats: kills, deaths, matches, wins and time played. Other players can see these on your profile and on the leaderboards.
- Your friends list, friend requests and whether you are online, in a lobby or in a match (visible to your friends only).
- Your game save (credits, cases, skins, level, settings), so your progress follows you to any device.
- A login token kept in your browser so you stay logged in. It expires after 60 days without use.
3. Online play
When you play online, your username and in-game actions are sent through our game server to the other players in your match. Your IP address is used by the server to connect you and to limit abuse (such as repeated login attempts); it is not stored with your account.
4. Where the data is kept
The website is hosted by Netlify, the game server by Render, and account data is stored in a database run by Upstash. These providers process data only to run the service. Like any web host, they may process standard technical information such as IP addresses to deliver the site and keep it secure.
5. No ads or tracking
The Game does not use advertising, analytics, tracking cookies or third-party trackers.
6. Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time: in the Game, open your profile and choose Delete account, then confirm with your password. This permanently removes your email, username, password hash, stats, friends and game save from our database.
7. Children
Accounts are for players aged 13 or older. If you are younger than 13, please play as a guest. If we learn that a child under 13 has created an account, we will delete it.
8. Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
