Last updated: October 2026

Welcome to Arcade Portal ("we", "our", or "us"). We are dedicated to respecting and safeguarding the privacy of our visitors and players. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site and play the games, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Advertising and cookies

The site is funded by ads served by Google AdSense. Please note:

Third-Party Vendors & Google: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

1. Information We Collect

We minimize data collection to the absolute lowest threshold necessary to maintain a responsive arcade gaming experience:

Leaderboard High Scores: When you submit a record score, we collect your self-selected player call-sign (1–15 alphanumeric characters) and your verified score.
Device Local Storage: We use your web browser's LocalStorage API to save remaining Arcade Tokens, high score records, and user audio preferences entirely on your client machine.
Usage statistics: Google Analytics for Firebase records which games are opened and basic device information (such as browser type and screen size) so we can see which games are popular and fix device-specific problems. It uses cookies or similar identifiers.

2. How We Use Information

The limited information collected is utilized exclusively to:

Maintain global game leaderboards and player rankings.
Enable seamless offline Progressive Web App (PWA) caching for instant replayability.
Analyze high-level traffic metrics to ensure consistent 60 FPS performance across mobile and desktop.

3. Third-Party Services & Subprocessors

Our infrastructure leverages trusted web technology providers:

Google AdSense (including H5 Games Ads): serves the ads shown on the site and between games.
Google Firebase: stores leaderboard entries (Cloud Firestore) and usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase).

4. Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Players located within the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California retain specific data subject rights:

The right to access, rectify, or request deletion of any stored leaderboard submissions.
The right to withdraw cookie consent or opt out of personalized advertising at any time.
We do NOT sell, rent, or trade player personal information to data brokers or marketing firms.
