Privacy Policy
SkyBrawl ("we", "our", or "the game") is a browser-based multiplayer dogfight game. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you play, how we use it, and what rights you have over your data. We keep things straightforward — we only collect what is needed to run the game.
1. Information We Collect
When you sign in with Google
- Your Google display name
- Your Google profile photo URL (used for your in-game avatar)
- A unique User ID (UID) assigned by Google — we never see your password
When you play as a Guest
- An anonymous session ID is created and stored in your browser only
- No personal information is collected
- Guest data is not linked to any real-world identity
Game data (all account types)
- Your chosen callsign and plane colour preference
- In-game statistics: total kills, deaths, wins, games played, playtime
- A record of your last matches (result, kills, deaths, game mode)
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide the game — match you with other players in real-time lobbies.
- To personalise your experience — save your callsign, colour, and stats so you don't have to re-enter them each session.
- To power future leaderboards — aggregated kill and win counts may appear on public leaderboards. Your Google email is never shown publicly; only your display name is used.
- To improve the game — anonymous usage patterns may be reviewed to identify bugs and balance issues.
We do not sell your data, use it for advertising profiling, or share it with third parties beyond the services listed below.
3. Third-Party Services
SkyBrawl is built on Google's Firebase platform and uses Google AdSense for advertising on the free tier. These services have their own privacy policies.
Firebase Authentication GOOGLE
Handles sign-in with Google. Google's authentication system issues a secure token that identifies you without exposing your password to us.
Firebase Realtime Database & Firestore GOOGLE
Your pilot profile, stats, and match history are stored in Google's cloud databases, hosted in the asia-southeast1 region (Singapore).
Google AdSense FREE TIER ONLY
Players on the free tier may see advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to show personalised ads based on your browsing history. Premium players have ads completely suppressed — no AdSense code runs for their session.
You can opt out of personalised ads at adssettings.google.com or via the NAI opt-out tool.
Google Fonts GOOGLE
Fonts (Orbitron, Roboto) are loaded from Google's CDN. Google may log the request. No personal data is shared.
4. Data Retention
Your pilot profile and stats are retained in our database for as long as your account is active. Guest sessions are stored in your browser and are cleared if you clear browser data or sign into a Google account, at which point the anonymous data is no longer accessible.
If you would like your account data permanently deleted, contact us (see Section 6) and we will remove it within 30 days.
5. Cookies & Local Storage
- Firebase Auth uses a secure browser cookie to maintain your login session across visits.
- We do not use any additional tracking cookies ourselves.
- Google AdSense may set third-party cookies for ad personalisation (free tier only).
6. Your Rights & Contact
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights or ask any privacy-related question, please contact:
📧 agarthean.support@agartheanstudios.com
We aim to respond to all requests within 5 business days.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the game evolves. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of SkyBrawl after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
