Combat 2600
Privacy Policy
Combat 2600 ("the game") is a fan recreation of the 1977 Atari 2600 game, played in a web browser or as a Discord Activity. It is run by [YOUR NAME OR STUDIO] ("we"). This policy explains what the game collects and what happens to it.
What we collect
- Your Discord identity. When you launch the game inside Discord and approve the sign-in prompt, Discord shares your Discord user ID, username and display name with the game (Discord's
identifypermission). We do not request your email address, your servers, your friends or your messages. - Your controls. During a match your device sends which joystick directions and fire button you are pressing, and which console switches you flip.
- Usage stats. When you join and leave an Activity, which Discord server and voice channel it was started in (their IDs), and for each game played: the cartridge and game number, who held which seat, when it started and ended, and the final scores.
When you play outside Discord, the game runs entirely in your browser and sends nothing to us.
How we use it
- To show your name to the other people in your Activity and give you a seat in the match.
- To make sure each person holds only one seat.
- To run the match: your controls move your vehicle for everyone in the room.
- To see how the game is used: how often it is played, which games, by how many people.
How long we keep it
Your controls are held only in the memory of the game server for your Activity while the match is running, and are discarded when everyone leaves. The usage stats, including your Discord user ID and display name, are stored in a database hosted by Convex. The sign-in token Discord gives us is used once to confirm who you are and is not stored.
Who else handles your data
- Discord runs the Activity and the sign-in. Its privacy policy applies to your use of Discord.
- Convex stores the usage stats, under its privacy policy.
- Cloudflare hosts the game and its servers. Like any web host it processes technical information such as your IP address to deliver the game, under its privacy policy.
We do not sell or share your information with anyone else, show ads, use third-party analytics or tracking, or set cookies.
Children
The game is available only through Discord's platform and follows Discord's minimum age requirements. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Your choices
You can decline Discord's sign-in prompt, or leave the Activity at any time. To have your usage stats deleted, contact us with your Discord user ID. You can also remove the game's access from Discord under User Settings › Authorized Apps.
Changes
If we change what the game collects, we'll update this page and its date.
