Data we collect

The data depends on whether you play as a guest, create an account, or write to us.

  • Account: email address, nickname, a hash of your password, avatar choice, email verification status, and the time you accepted the Terms of Use.
  • Profile choices: whether you block friend requests, hide your online status, or hide from the leaderboard, plus a last-seen time used to show who is online.
  • Guest play: a random token in the farkle_guest_token cookie for 30 days, and the nickname you use at the table.
  • Play: room settings, scores, match results, and play time for registered players.
  • Social features: friend requests, friends, direct messages, table chat, blocks, and reports.
  • Moderation: ban records and moderator notes when a moderator acts on an account.
  • Contact: the name, email, category, message, and any file you send through the contact form.
  • Security mail: short-lived email verification codes and password reset links, stored only as hashes.

Cookies and similar tools

Some storage is required to run the game. Analytics, ads, and session replay wait for a choice.

  • Essential: farkle_guest_token keeps a guest seat, the sign-in cookie keeps you logged in, and NEXT_LOCALE remembers your language. The farkle_metrika_consent cookie stores your session-replay choice for about six months.
  • Google Analytics and Google AdSense: in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland these stay off until you answer Google's consent message. Elsewhere they may run until you turn them off. When ads are enabled, the Ad and analytics choices link in the footer reopens Google's message in those places. Elsewhere it lets you turn those cookies on or off. That choice is stored in the farkle_google_consent cookie for about six months.
  • Yandex Metrika: click maps and session replay load only after you choose Allow on the session-replay bar. Yandex processes that data in Russia. Russia does not have a European Commission adequacy decision, so that transfer relies on your consent. Choosing Don't allow leaves the game fully playable.

Why we use data

Each use has a reason that matches the feature.

  • To provide the game, your account, and the features you ask for, under the contract in the Terms of Use.
  • To keep the site secure, prevent abuse, and remember essential cookies, as part of running the service.
  • To measure visits, show ads, and record sessions only when you consent.

How long we keep data

Retention follows the feature that collected the data.

  • Guest tokens and guest nicknames expire after 30 days.
  • The session-replay choice cookie lasts about six months.
  • Account data, match history, chat, and friends stay until you ask us to delete the account, or until a moderation dispute or a legal claim requires a record.
  • Verification codes and password reset links expire on their own and are stored only as hashes.
  • Contact messages stay long enough to answer you and to look back at a request if you write again.

Who else receives data

Personal data is not sold. Other people and services receive it only to run the features below.

  • Google receives analytics and advertising data when those tools are allowed.
  • Yandex receives Metrika data, including session replay, when you allow it.
  • The email service configured for this site delivers verification, password reset, and contact messages.
  • Other players see your nickname, avatar, chat, and the public stats you have not hidden.
  • Moderators can see reports and the account details they need to enforce the rules.

Your choices and rights

While signed in, you can change your nickname, avatar, and social privacy settings.

You can withdraw analytics and ad consent with Ad and analytics choices in the footer, and session replay consent with Session replay choices.

You can ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of your account data. Where the law gives you the right, you can also object to a use of your data. Use the contact form. You can also email [email protected].

You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.

Deletion is handled by request. Settings does not yet include a delete button.
