Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Browser Boxing ("Browser Boxing," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you access or use our game, website, matchmaking services, and related features (collectively, the "Service").

By using the Service, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree with this Policy, do not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide, gameplay context, and limited technical data.

• Account information, including username, password, and optional display name for registered users.
• Guest session identifiers generated to support quick play without account creation.
• Matchmaking and match telemetry, such as queue activity and match outcomes.
• Authentication and session data, including session identifiers and server-side session state.
• Technical logs, such as device metadata, IP address, and diagnostics.

3. How We Use Information

We use personal information only as needed to operate and secure the Service.

• Authenticate users, validate sessions, and protect account integrity.
• Run queue, matchmaking, and real-time match logic safely and fairly.
• Process reconnects, resolve disputes, and maintain match continuity.
• Monitor abuse, cheating, and operational integrity.
• Improve stability, balancing, and user experience.
• Comply with legal obligations and support account-related support requests.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and storage technologies for authentication, session continuity, and core service functionality. Some cookies are essential and required for secure gameplay and match operations.

If required browser cookies are disabled, your experience may be degraded and some features may stop working.

5. Realtime Data and WebSocket Handling

Live matches rely on persistent WebSocket connections. During play, we process transient gameplay messages, presence updates, queue events, timing data, and match state.

This data is used to synchronize gameplay, prevent abuse, and keep matches fair when network issues, disconnects, or duplicate input events occur.

6. Sharing Information

We do not sell personal information. Sharing is limited and constrained.

• Service providers and infrastructure partners that process data on our instructions.
• Other players, where needed for visible match context (username, boxer choice, match outcomes).
• Legal, law enforcement, or regulatory requirements where required.
• Fraud, security, abuse, and safety investigations.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for operation, security, enforcement, legal obligations, and legitimate business needs.

Guest session records are typically retained for shorter periods, while account records may be retained longer for anti-abuse and compliance reasons.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may be able to access, correct, or delete certain information and limit use of your data.

Account users may update profile details, change credentials, or request account deletion through available in-product settings. Some data can remain in limited backups or logs for legal and security obligations.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls and secure session management. No online system is fully risk-free, but we continuously improve our protections.

10. Children's Privacy

Browser Boxing is not directed at children under 13. We do not intentionally collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn such data was collected, we will take steps to remove it where appropriate.

11. International Use

If you use the Service outside our home country, your data may be processed where our infrastructure operates, which may involve different data protection laws.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The date at the top will change for material updates. Continued use after the update date means you accept the latest version.

13. Contact
