svg.games is run by SVG (Software Venture Group), called "we" here. This policy says what we keep when you use svg.games, why, who helps us run it, and what you can do about it. If anything is unclear, write to hello@svg.games.
01What we keep
- Your account: your email address, your password if you set one (kept only as a scrambled code we can't read back), your username, your display name and your date of birth. We ask your date of birth only to check your age, and never show it.
- Signing in with Discord, Steam or Google: your ID there, your name and your picture, and your email address from Discord and Google. We never get your password for those services, and we use what they send only to sign you in and set up your profile.
- Your profile: the picture, banner and bio you add.
- Your play: the games you play and for how long, your scores, achievements and level, the games you save to your library, and your game saves, kept on your account so they follow you to any browser.
- Friends: the players you add, accept or block, and when you were last on the site.
- What you post: your posts, comments and GGs, who you've blocked, reports you send, and your notifications.
- Plus: whether you have Plus, until when, and the number Stripe gives your subscription. Stripe keeps your payment details. We never see or keep your card.
- Invites: who invited you, the friends who joined through your link, and any reward you got.
- Two-step sign in: if you turn it on, the key your app uses and your backup codes, both encrypted.
- Your devices: the IP address and browser of each device you're signed in on, to keep your account safe and to let you sign out of the others in Settings.
- Emails you send us: what you write to hello@svg.games.
- Early access: if you left your email on our coming soon page, we keep it to tell you when svg.games opens.
02Why we keep it
- To run your account and sign you in safely, including the codes we email you.
- To run the games and show your stats, leaderboards, achievements and profile.
- To keep your game saves and give them back on any browser you sign in on.
- To sell and run Plus, and to give invite rewards.
- To keep svg.games safe: stopping bots, spam, cheating and abuse.
- To answer you when you write to us.
- To email you about your account and your Plus, such as sign in codes, password resets and a reminder before a free month ends. We don't send marketing emails.
We don't sell your information or use it for ads. Google Analytics shows us, in numbers, how the site is used, so we can make it better.
03Who can see what
- Anyone can see your profile: your display name, username, picture, banner, bio, level, badges, stats and achievements, and your places on leaderboards.
- Your friends also see when you're online or playing.
- The player who invited you sees your name and picture on their invite card.
- Anyone who can see your profile sees your posts, the comments on it and who said GG.
- Your comments on other players' profiles are seen by anyone who can see that profile.
- A player you block no longer sees your comments, and you no longer see theirs.
- Home shows the newest achievements and bests from public profiles. It never shows what players write.
- Nobody else sees your email, your date of birth, your devices or your payments.
04Reports and moderation
- When a post, a comment or a profile is reported, our team reads it, along with the report, to decide what to do.
- The player who was reported isn't told who reported them.
- We keep a record of reports and of what we decided, including any mute or ban.
05Who helps us run it
These services work for us and get only what they need to do their part:
- Our hosting provider runs the site and its database.
- Cloudflare stores pictures and game files and delivers them, and its Turnstile check tells people from bots when you sign in.
- Resend sends our emails.
- Stripe and Link take payments for Plus. Link is the seller of record and has its own privacy policy.
- Discord, Steam and Google, if you sign in with them.
- Font Awesome serves the site's icons, so it sees your IP address when a page loads.
- Google Analytics counts visits and shows how the site is used, loaded through Google Tag Manager. It sees your IP address and browser, and has its own privacy policy.
- Our games' own servers: some games keep their own online data, such as their own boards, on Supabase.
We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect players and svg.games from harm.
07How long we keep it
We keep your information while you have an account. Delete your account in Settings and we delete your account, profile, pictures, stats, saves and friends straight away, and cancel your Plus. Deleting your account also deletes your posts, your comments (on your profile and on other players'), your GGs, your notifications and your messages. Copies in our backups go as the backups are replaced. Stripe and Link keep payment records for as long as the law asks them to. We keep emails you send us as long as we need them to help you, and the early access list until we've told you we're open.
08Your choices
- Change your name, picture, banner, bio, email, password and connections in Settings.
- Delete your account in Settings, under Account.
- Choose who sees your profile, who can comment and what the bell tells you about in Settings, under Privacy.
- For a copy of your information, or anything else about it, write to hello@svg.games. We answer within 30 days and may first check it's really you.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or California), the law gives you rights to see, correct, delete or move your information, and to object to how it's used. We give everyone those choices.
09Children
svg.games is for people 13 and older. If someone younger tries to join, we stop and delete the account. If you think a child under 13 has an account, tell us at hello@svg.games and we'll delete it.
10Keeping it safe
Passwords are scrambled, two-step sign in is there for anyone who wants it, every connection is encrypted, and sign in attempts are limited. No system is perfect, so if something ever happens that affects your information, we'll tell you.
11Where it's kept
SVG is based in the United States, and the services above may handle information in the United States and other countries. Using svg.games means your information may be handled there.
12Changes
When we change this policy we change the date at the top. For a big change we tell you on the site or by email before it applies.
