Privacy Policy

Effective: January 2025 · Last reviewed: January 2025

1. About This Game

NovaDuel — Neon 1v1 is a local 1v1 duel game playable against an AI opponent or a second player on the same device. It is provided free of charge and requires no account, login, or personal information of any kind. This policy explains exactly how we handle your data.

We collect zero personal information. No data leaves your device.

2. Information We Never Collect

We do not collect, store, process, or transmit any of the following at any point:

Names, email addresses, usernames, or any identifier
IP addresses, geolocation data, or device fingerprints
Advertising IDs, cookie tracking tokens, or persistent user IDs
Gameplay telemetry, session recordings, or behavioural analytics
Payment details, billing information, or financial records of any kind
Messages, inputs, or keystroke logs

3. Local Storage

Player 1's best kill count is saved locally using the key nd_best. This data:

Is stored only on your device — it never leaves your browser
Cannot be accessed by us, advertisers, or any third party
Persists only until you clear your browser's site data
Can be deleted at any time: Browser Settings → Privacy → Site Data → Clear

We use no cookies, no session storage, and no IndexedDB. The only browser storage is localStorage for the score described above.

4. No Real Money, No Purchases, No Gambling

NovaDuel is 100% free. There are no in-app purchases, no premium tiers, no virtual currencies, no loot boxes, and no gambling mechanics. Scores and achievements have zero monetary value.

5. Third-Party Services

We use Google Fonts (Orbitron, Rajdhani) loaded from Google's CDN. Google may log anonymised font-request metadata per their own policies. No advertising, analytics, social login, A/B testing, or any other third-party service is embedded in this game.

If you are concerned about Google Fonts requests, you can block fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com in your browser or network settings. The game will still function using system fallback fonts.

6. Hosting & Server Logs

Our web hosting provider may retain minimal server-access logs (timestamps, HTTP status codes, approximate region) for infrastructure security and uptime monitoring. These logs are not linked to individuals, are not used for profiling or targeted advertising, and are purged automatically on a rolling schedule. We have no visibility into individual user identities through these logs.

Local Multiplayer & No Accounts

NovaDuel supports local two-player mode on the same device. No player identity, profile, username, or communication data is collected or stored. Both players interact with the same browser session; no data is exchanged over a network between players.

8. Children's Privacy

Because we collect absolutely no personal data from anyone, this game is safe for users of all ages. We fully comply with the intent of COPPA (USA), GDPR-K (EU), PIPA (UK), and equivalent children's privacy regulations globally. No data profile is built for any user, regardless of age.

9. Your Data Rights

Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar frameworks, you have rights over your personal data. Since we collect and store no personal data on our servers, there is nothing to access, correct, export, or delete beyond your own localStorage entry (which you can clear at any time via your browser).

10. Security

The game runs entirely in your browser. No personal data transits our infrastructure, so there is no risk of a server-side data breach exposing your information. The security of your locally stored score depends on your own device's security settings.

11. Changes to This Policy

If our privacy practices change in any material way, we will update this page and revise the effective date. Continued use of the game after the update date constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
