The rules
of the arcade.

Honey Badger Arcade is a small independent game studio. We make the games listed on our homepage and run this website at honeybadgerarcade.com. When this policy says "we" or "us", that's who it means.

Anything about your privacy, from a quick question to a full deletion request, goes here:

[email protected]

• Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting keeps standard logs: IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. We use them to keep the site running and to spot abuse.
• No tracking cookies. This site doesn't set advertising or analytics cookies, and there are no accounts or sign-up forms here.
• Fonts. Our fonts load from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers to fetch them, which shares your IP address with that service.
• Emails. If you write to us, we get your email address and whatever you put in the message.

None of our games show ads or include advertising trackers. What each one handles:

Across the games we may also collect anonymous gameplay stats (for example, which level ends the most runs) and crash and performance reports (device model, OS version, what broke). Purchases are processed by the store you buy from. We only learn that a purchase happened so we can unlock it; we never see your card details.

• Running leaderboards, daily runs and online matches.
• Catching cheaters and keeping rankings honest.
• Fixing crashes and balancing levels that are unfair (or too easy).
• Restoring purchases and answering support emails.
• Sending our newsletter or playtest invites, only if you signed up for them.

We don't build advertising profiles, and we don't use your data to decide what to sell you.

We do not sell or rent your personal data, ever. We share it only with:

• Platforms and stores you play or buy through, such as Steam, Nintendo, the App Store and Google Play, which handle accounts, purchases and some leaderboard features under their own privacy policies.
• Service providers who host our website, leaderboard servers, email and crash reporting for us, and who may only use the data to provide that service.
• Other players, who see what's public on the leaderboards (rule 04).
• Authorities, if the law genuinely requires it.

If you join our community spaces, such as a Discord server, what you post there is covered by that platform's rules as well as ours.

• Leaderboard entries: while the board is live, or until you ask us to remove them. Weekly and daily boards are archived; we may keep top results as a hall of fame.
• Crash reports and gameplay stats: up to 12 months.
• Server logs: a short period, typically no more than 90 days, unless we need them to look into abuse.
• Emails: as long as we need them to help you, then cleared out.
• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe, which you can do from any email.

You can ask us to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct anything that's wrong, including a display name.
• Delete your data, including your leaderboard entries.
• Stop emails, or object to a particular use of your data.

Email [email protected] and tell us which game and platform you play on, plus your display name, so we can find your records. We may ask a question to confirm it's really you, and we aim to reply within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under local law, including the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Our games aren't aimed at young children, and we don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13 (or the higher age set by law where you live). Platform parental controls can turn off online features and leaderboards. If you think a child has sent us personal data, email us and we'll delete it.

If we add a feature, ship a new game or change how we handle data, we'll update this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll also point it out on our website or in the affected game before it takes effect.
