Privacy Policy update

August 12, 2026 - Darrel Herbst

We have updated our Privacy Policy. The changes take effect on 12 August 2026.

The update describes information collected by our games, including Code Run Game. In summary:

• You can play as a guest, with no account and no personal information. We generate a random player identifier and keep it in your browser.
• Accounts collect an email address and a password, so that you can choose a display name and appear on leaderboards. We verify the address before the account works.
• An unfinished game is deleted after 30 days without activity.
• A finished game is kept permanently as a record of how it was played, and used in aggregate to test and balance the rules. These records identify players only by an identifier specific to that single game — never by name or email address. A separate index links those games to your account so you can see your own history, and deleting your account deletes that index.
• We briefly record IP addresses — for no more than an hour — to limit how quickly requests can be made and to prevent abuse.

We are posting this notice because the Privacy Policy asks us to tell you here whenever we make a substantive change to how we use your information.

If you have questions, or you would like a specific game record removed, write to privacy@streamingrat.com.
