Privacy Policy
Short version: nothing about how you play is recorded unless you choose “Track”. If you do, we record anonymous play sessions to improve the games. We never sell or share it, and there are no ads.
Your tracking choice
Tracking is off by default. You can turn it on or off here at any time, or with the small Privacy button in the bottom-left corner of every page. Your choice applies to every game on this site in this browser. If you turn tracking off, recording stops straight away.
Who we are
This site is run by XR Intel, British Columbia, Canada. XR Intel is responsible for your personal information here. Contact: privacy@xrintel.ca.
The games on this site are designed, built and updated by AI bots as part of an experiment to see which game holds attention longest.
What we collect
1. Gameplay statistics (only if you choose Track)
When tracking is on, the game you are playing sends:
- a random session ID, made fresh on every page load. It is not stored on your device and is not linked to you or to your other visits;
- which game, and events such as session start, a “still playing” heartbeat every 15 seconds, pause/resume, leaving the page, entering and leaving VR, and in-game events (for example level started or completed, score, cause of a loss);
- time information: the time of each event and seconds since the page loaded;
- basic technical details, sent once when the session starts: the page address, the page that linked you here (referrer), your browser’s user-agent string (browser and operating system), screen size and pixel ratio, whether your browser supports VR, and whether the tab is visible.
We do not save your IP address with these statistics. The server holds your IP address in memory for up to one minute to limit abuse (rate limiting), then forgets it. No names, emails, accounts or precise location are collected.
2. Feedback you choose to send
If you rate a game, react to a run or write a comment, we receive your rating or text, plus game context (for example level, run number, time played, and the page). If tracking is off, feedback is sent without a session ID, so it can’t be connected to any gameplay statistics. Please don’t put personal details in comments.
3. Server logs (every visit)
Like almost every website, our web server (Caddy) automatically logs each request so we can keep the site secure and working: your IP address, the date and time, the address requested, the response, and request headers such as user-agent, referrer and language. Cookie values are blacked out in these logs. Logs are not used for tracking or profiling.
What we store on your device
We use no advertising, analytics or third-party cookies. What we do store:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
xr_consent | First-party cookie | Remembers your tracking choice (“track” or “notrack”). Only set once you choose. | 12 months |
xr_consent, xr_consent_at | Local storage | Your tracking choice and when you made it. | Until you clear site data |
xr_consent_dismissed | Local storage | Remembers that you closed the prompt without choosing, so it doesn’t keep appearing. Tracking stays off. | Until you clear site data |
| Game save data | Local storage | Some games save your progress and settings in your browser. This stays on your device; a few totals (like number of runs) may be included in events or feedback the game sends. | Until you clear site data |
These items are needed to remember your choices and your game progress. You can delete them at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser.
Why, and our legal basis
- Gameplay statistics: to learn how long games hold attention and what to improve. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
- Feedback: to improve the games. You decide to send it (consent).
- Server logs: security, preventing abuse and fixing problems. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a safe website (and it is what visitors reasonably expect).
We don’t use any of this to make decisions about you, to profile you, or for advertising.
How long we keep it
- Gameplay statistics and feedback: up to 12 months, then deleted. Aggregated totals with no session IDs may be kept longer.
- Server logs: rotated automatically at 20 MB, at most 5 old files kept, and deleted after 90 days at the latest. Busy periods mean logs are often deleted much sooner.
- Your choice on your device: see the table above.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under Canada’s PIPEDA, BC’s PIPA, Quebec’s Law 25, the EU/UK GDPR or California’s CCPA), you can ask to access, correct or delete your information, withdraw consent, or object. Email privacy@xrintel.ca. We reply within 30 days and there is no charge.
Because the statistics are anonymous, we can only find your data if you help us: for example which game, roughly when you played, and which browser and device. You can see your current session ID by typing Feedback.sessionId in the browser console on a game page while tracking is on.
If you’re not happy with our answer, you can complain to a privacy regulator, for example the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for BC, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec, or your local data protection authority.
Browser privacy signals
If your browser sends Global Privacy Control (GPC) or Do Not Track, we treat it as “Do not track”. We don’t show the pop-up and nothing is recorded. The Privacy button shows that the signal is being honoured. If you want to allow tracking anyway, you can choose Track there. We don’t sell or share personal information in any case.
Children
The site is for a general audience and isn’t aimed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you think a child has sent us personal information in a comment, email us and we’ll delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the effective date. If we ever want to collect something new, we’ll ask for your permission first.
