Privacy Policy — Offroad Peaks
In short: Offroad Peaks has no accounts and never asks for your email or any other personal information. Your progress, and the leaderboard name you may type in, are saved on your own device only. To improve the game it sends anonymous gameplay statistics (for example, how far up the mountain you got and how smoothly the game ran) to our own self-hosted analytics server. They cannot be used to identify you.
1. Who we are
Offroad Peaks is a browser game developed by Dmitrii Ryzhik (“we”, “us”). The game is published on Poki.com. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at dimaryzhik@gmail.com.
2. Information we do not collect
- We do not ask for or store email addresses, phone numbers, photos or precise location.
- There is no registration, login, chat or any other way to share personal information inside the game.
- We do not sell or rent any data.
3. Data stored on your device
The game uses your browser’s local storage to remember your progress and settings: your best time, coins, garage upgrades, the colour of your car, graphics, sound and volume settings, and your row in the leaderboard. This data stays in your browser and is not sent to us. You can delete it at any time with “Reset progress” in the game menu or by clearing your browser’s site data.
Leaderboard name. After your first finish the game offers to type a name for the leaderboard. The name is optional, is kept only in your browser’s local storage and is never sent to us, to Poki or to anyone else; the leaderboard you see is generated on your device. Please do not type your real name or other personal information there.
The analytics described in section 4 also keeps a random identifier in local storage. “Reset progress” keeps it (it is not game progress); clearing your browser’s site data removes it.
4. Gameplay analytics (self-hosted)
To find out where the game is too hard, too easy or too slow, the game sends gameplay events to our own analytics server at analytics.ryzhik-games.duckdns.org. We run this server ourselves; no third-party analytics service receives the data. The server is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany (European Union), which only provides the hosting and does not use the data.
What the game sends. Events are sent in small batches while you play and when you leave the page. Each event contains only:
- the name of a game event, for example a run started or finished, a checkpoint reached, the car getting stuck and getting free, the winch used, an upgrade bought, a menu button or setting used, your place range in the leaderboard (not your name), an in-game advertisement shown or a reward for watching it received;
- the time of the event;
- a random player identifier created by the game on your device (stored in local storage under
offroad.analytics-id), and a random session identifier that exists only until the page is reloaded; - the game build (for example, the Poki version of the game);
- technical context: input method (touch, keyboard or gamepad), graphics technology (WebGPU or WebGL), graphics quality level and performance range (frame rate and loading time);
- device type (phone, tablet or computer), operating system family and browser family. Our server derives these three values from the browser’s user agent and discards the user agent itself.
What we do not collect. No names, email addresses, accounts, precise or approximate location, contacts, photos, advertising identifiers or cookies. We do not combine the data with other sources, do not track you across other websites or apps and do not try to identify players. Your IP address is necessarily visible to the server when a request arrives; it is kept only in memory, for up to about a minute, to limit abuse (rate limiting), and is never written to disk, logged or stored with the events.
How we use it and who sees it. We use the events only to improve the game: its route, difficulty, controls and performance. Only our small development team has access to them. We do not sell, rent or share them and do not use them for advertising.
How long we keep it. Events are deleted automatically 24 months after they were recorded.
5. Poki
When you play on Poki.com, Poki provides the website, the advertisements and its own statistics through the Poki SDK. This is handled by Poki under the Poki Privacy Statement, which also describes the choices available to you there.
6. Children
Offroad Peaks is suitable for children. Because the game never asks for personal information, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children or anyone else. If you believe a child has sent us personal information (for example by email), contact us and we will delete it.
7. Your choices and rights
Because the statistics we collect are anonymous, we cannot connect them to you. You can delete everything
stored on your device as described in section 3. To have the analytics events of your browser deleted, send us
the value stored in local storage under offroad.analytics-id and we will delete all events
linked to it. Depending on where you live (for example, in the European Union or the United Kingdom), you may
have additional rights regarding your data; if you want to exercise them or have any concerns, email us and we
will help.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the game changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
