Privacy Policy

Overview

My MP Games ("we," "us," "our") provides free multiplayer browser games. We respect your privacy and are committed to transparency about what data we collect and how we use it.

Key principle: We collect minimal data needed to run the service. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing.

What we collect

Analytics (Gentlelytics)

We use Gentlelytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service, to understand how people use the site. Gentlelytics collects:

• Pages visited and referrer
• Device type, browser, and approximate location (country/region)
• Session duration and navigation patterns

No cookies, no cross-site tracking, no persistent identifiers. Data is aggregated and anonymized. We cannot identify individual users.

Gameplay & room data

When you play online:

• Room codes: Temporary 5-character codes used to join matches. Rooms expire after inactivity.
• Guest names: Optional display names you choose (not stored beyond the active room).
• Game state: Move history and scores kept in memory during the match only. Not saved after the room closes.

We do not store match history, profiles, or accounts. Everything is ephemeral.

Chat & communication

The arena chat and in-room text chat are not logged or recorded. Messages are relayed in real-time via Socket.IO and discarded immediately.

Optional voice/video uses WebRTC peer-to-peer connections. Audio and video streams travel directly between players — our servers only help establish the connection. We do not record or store media.

Server logs

Standard web server logs (nginx, Express) capture:

• IP addresses (retained for 7 days for abuse prevention)
• URLs requested
• HTTP status codes and timestamps

Logs are used for debugging, security, and performance monitoring only.

How we use data

• Analytics: Understand which games are popular, identify bugs, improve UX
• Realtime gameplay: Enable multiplayer rooms and matchmaking
• Security: Prevent abuse, spam, and denial-of-service attacks

We do not use data for advertising, selling to third parties, or tracking you across sites.

Third-party services

• Gentlelytics: Privacy-focused analytics (see Gentlelytics Privacy Policy)
• WebRTC STUN/TURN: Used to establish peer-to-peer connections for voice/video. We use standard public STUN servers; no personal data sent beyond IP discovery for NAT traversal.

We do not embed Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or other invasive trackers.

Children's privacy

My MP Games does not require accounts or collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Parents should supervise children using chat or voice features.

If you believe a child has shared personal information in chat or via contact, please contact us immediately.

Data retention

• Game rooms: Deleted after 30 minutes of inactivity
• Chat messages: Not stored (real-time relay only)
• Server logs: IP addresses retained 7 days, then purged
• Analytics: Aggregated data retained indefinitely (no personal identifiers)

Your rights

Because we collect minimal identifiable data, there is little to access or delete. If you have concerns about data we may hold, contact us.

EU/UK users (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port data. Given our minimal data collection, most rights apply only to server logs.

California users (CCPA): We do not sell personal information. You may request disclosure of data categories we collect.

Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all connections. Server infrastructure follows standard security practices (firewall, regular updates, access controls). However, no system is 100% secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be announced on the homepage or via a notice banner. Continued use after changes means acceptance.
