Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 15, 2026

Contact: support@shuffleballarena.com

This Privacy Policy explains what information ShuffleBall Arena collects, how it is used, and what choices you have.

ShuffleBall Arena is an early-stage independent browser game. The privacy goal is simple: collect the minimum useful information needed to run the website, improve the game, understand basic usage, and support optional future features.

1. Summary

ShuffleBall Arena currently aims to avoid collecting unnecessary personal information.

The website may collect your email address only if you choose to submit a form. Your name may be optional. Feedback may be collected if you choose to send it.

The game may collect basic analytics, such as page visits, session length, matches played, feature usage, repeat visits, general device/browser information, performance information, and general location such as country or region.

ShuffleBall Arena does not want to collect real-world addresses, phone numbers, exact location, government IDs, payment information, private messages, or unnecessary personal details.

Future features such as player-vs-player, livestreamed matches, replay sharing, accounts, public profiles, sponsor-supported rewards, or featured matches may require additional privacy notices or updates to this policy.

2. Information You Choose to Provide

You may choose to provide information through website forms, feedback forms, waitlist forms, contact forms, surveys, community forms, or similar features.

This may include:

  • email address;
  • optional name;
  • optional player handle or display name, if added later;
  • feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or messages;
  • interest in future features;
  • what you want built next;
  • device type or general gameplay context if you choose to provide it.

You do not have to submit a form to play the basic free game unless a future feature requires it.

3. Information Collected Automatically

ShuffleBall Arena may collect basic technical and usage information automatically when you visit the website or play the game.

This may include:

  • pages visited;
  • approximate time on site;
  • session length;
  • matches played;
  • game events, such as match start, match end, shots taken, feature usage, layout usage, game mode usage, replay events, or error events;
  • repeat visits;
  • browser type;
  • device type;
  • operating system;
  • referral source;
  • general traffic information;
  • general performance information;
  • crash, bug, or error information;
  • IP-derived general location, such as country or region;
  • server logs;
  • cookies or similar identifiers, if enabled.

The goal of this information is to understand whether the game is working, what people enjoy, what should be improved, and whether the website is performing correctly.

4. Gameplay Analytics

ShuffleBall Arena may use gameplay analytics to improve the game.

Examples include:

  • average play time;
  • number of matches played;
  • number of sessions;
  • how often people return;
  • which game modes are used;
  • which layouts are used;
  • whether players finish matches;
  • whether players use replay, livestream, or sharing features if added;
  • basic error and performance information;
  • feature usage counts.

ShuffleBall Arena’s goal is to use analytics in an aggregate way, not to build invasive personal profiles.

5. Webflow Forms and Website Tools

The current website may use Webflow’s native form system or similar website tools to collect form submissions.

If you submit a form, the information you provide may be processed by the website platform used to host or manage the site.

Do not submit sensitive personal information through website forms.

6. Cloudflare, Hosting, and Backend Tools

ShuffleBall Arena may use hosting, database, serverless, security, or performance tools to run the game and website.

These tools may process technical information such as IP address, request data, user agent, country, server logs, form data, feedback submissions, gameplay events, or error information.

This information is used to keep the website online, prevent abuse, diagnose bugs, operate the game, and improve performance.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

ShuffleBall Arena may use cookies, local storage, browser storage, cache files, analytics identifiers, or similar technologies.

These may be used to:

  • remember basic site or game preferences;
  • keep the game working in your browser;
  • improve loading and performance;
  • understand aggregate usage;
  • prevent spam or abuse;
  • support future accounts or optional features;
  • measure sponsor-supported features in aggregate.

See the Cookie Policy for more details.

8. How Information Is Used

ShuffleBall Arena may use information to:

  • operate the website and game;
  • respond to feedback or form submissions;
  • send updates if you opted in;
  • improve gameplay;
  • fix bugs;
  • measure basic traffic and usage;
  • understand which features players want;
  • prevent spam, cheating, abuse, or security problems;
  • support optional livestream, replay, multiplayer, or sharing features;
  • measure sponsor-supported rewards or features;
  • comply with legal obligations;
  • protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the game and its users.

9. Email Communications

If you submit your email address, ShuffleBall Arena may use it to:

  • respond to your message;
  • send updates about the game;
  • invite you to test new features;
  • ask for feedback;
  • notify you about optional launches, community updates, or future features.

You can ask to stop receiving emails by contacting [contact email] or using any unsubscribe option included in an email if one is provided.

10. Sponsor Reporting

ShuffleBall Arena may work with sponsors in the future.

Sponsor reporting should be aggregate and non-personal. Examples include:

  • total matches played;
  • total views;
  • average session length;
  • total clicks;
  • total reward redemptions;
  • general engagement stats;
  • feature usage counts;
  • general traffic performance.

ShuffleBall Arena does not intend to give sponsors personal identity details such as real names, home addresses, phone numbers, private messages, or exact location.

If a future sponsor promotion requires sharing personal information, that should be explained separately and require a clear opt-in.

11. Livestreaming, Replays, and Public Sharing

ShuffleBall Arena may eventually include optional livestreamed matches, public replays, featured matches, shareable clips, YouTube live battles, community highlights, or player-vs-player features.

Players should not be automatically required to stream or share their games.

If a feature makes gameplay public, ShuffleBall Arena should make that clear before you participate. Public gameplay may include gameplay footage, player display names, match results, replays, scores, or other information shown during the match.

If you opt in to public gameplay, replay sharing, featured matches, livestreams, or public clips, that content may be displayed, recorded, replayed, edited, promoted, embedded, or shared on ShuffleBall Arena websites, social channels, video platforms, sponsor presentations, or promotional materials.

12. Public Content

If future features allow public profiles, usernames, replays, comments, leaderboards, livestreams, chat, or shared gameplay, the information you choose to make public may be visible to others.

Do not share personal information publicly that you do not want others to see.

13. Information Sharing

ShuffleBall Arena may share information with service providers that help operate the website and game.

This may include hosting providers, website platforms, analytics providers, database providers, security tools, livestream platforms, email tools, video platforms, or similar services.

ShuffleBall Arena may also share information:

  • if required by law;
  • to protect rights, safety, users, or the game;
  • to investigate abuse, cheating, spam, fraud, or security issues;
  • as part of a business transfer, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets;
  • with your consent;
  • in aggregate or de-identified form.

ShuffleBall Arena does not intend to sell personal information.

14. Data Retention

ShuffleBall Arena keeps information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy.

For example:

  • form submissions may be kept to respond to users and understand interest;
  • feedback may be kept to improve the game;
  • analytics may be kept to understand trends and performance;
  • server logs may be kept for security, debugging, and operations;
  • records may be kept longer if needed for legal, security, or abuse-prevention reasons.

Because ShuffleBall Arena is early-stage, retention periods may change as the project matures.

15. Security

ShuffleBall Arena uses reasonable efforts to protect the information it collects.

However, no website, browser game, hosting provider, database, email system, or internet transmission is completely secure. Do not submit sensitive personal information through the website or game.

16. Children’s Privacy

ShuffleBall Arena is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are under 13, do not submit your email address, name, feedback, or other personal information.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child under 13 has provided personal information, they can contact [contact email] to request deletion.

If ShuffleBall Arena later creates features specifically directed to children, the privacy policy and consent process should be updated before collecting personal information from children.

17. Your Choices

You can choose not to submit forms.

You can request that ShuffleBall Arena delete or correct personal information you submitted by contacting [contact email].

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings.

You can avoid opting in to public gameplay, livestreams, replay sharing, or featured matches.

You can stop using the website or game at any time.

18. State and Regional Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable law. These may include the right to request access, deletion, correction, or information about how personal information is used.

ShuffleBall Arena is an early-stage project, but reasonable privacy requests can be sent to [contact email].

If the project grows, adds accounts, runs paid features, expands advertising, or collects more personal information, this policy should be reviewed and updated for applicable privacy laws.

19. International Users

ShuffleBall Arena may be accessed from different locations. If you use the website or game from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or by service providers in other locations.

By using ShuffleBall Arena, you understand that your information may be processed where the website, hosting, database, analytics, email, or other service providers operate.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as ShuffleBall Arena changes.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
