Privacy Policy for Spacebar Clicker

Last Updated: June 29, 2025

Welcome to Spacebar Clicker. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in our game. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting it.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in transparency and minimalism when it comes to data. Here’s a breakdown of what the game does and does not collect:

  • Game Data (Locally Stored): The game saves your progress, including your score, items purchased, and achievements. This information is stored exclusively in your web browser's Local Storage on your own device. We do not have access to this data, and it is never transmitted to our servers.
  • Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do not collect any PII. You do not need to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or any other personal details.
  • Usage Analytics: We do not use any third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) to track your behavior.

2. How We Use Your Data

The only data the game uses is your locally-stored game progress. The purpose of this is solely to allow you to close the game and resume where you left off. If you clear your browser's cache or local storage, this data will be permanently deleted.

3. Web Monetization

Our website includes a <meta> tag for the Web Monetization API. This is a proposed W3C standard for a privacy-respecting way to support creators online.

  • If you are a subscriber to a Web Monetization provider (such as Coil), small payments may be streamed to us while you play the game.
  • This process is designed to be private. We do not receive any personal information about you from your monetization provider. We only see that a payment is being made.
  • This is an alternative to advertising and allows us to keep the game free and ad-free.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We do not use cookies for tracking. As mentioned, we use Local Storage, which is a standard web technology essential for the game's save functionality. It is not used to track you across other websites.

5. Your Control and Rights

You have full control over your game data. You can delete your saved game data at any time by:

  1. Using the in-game "reset game" button.
  2. Clearing the local storage and site data for this website in your browser’s settings.

6. Children's Privacy

Our game is accessible to a general audience, but we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect personal data at all, we are in compliance with regulations like the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
