Privacy Policy

Who runs this site

Pyrekin is an indie game project. If you have a privacy question, email hello@pyrekin.com.

What we collect

When you create an account, we store your email address, an optional display name, and a hash of your password. While playing, we keep your active run state, run history, and any purchases linked to your account. We log basic technical details (HTTP request metadata) for security and debugging purposes.

How we use it

Account data lets you sign in across devices and resume runs. Run history powers the leaderboard and your profile statistics. Purchase records prove you own a skin or class. We don't sell or share your data with third parties for marketing.

Where it lives

All Pyrekin data is stored on a server we operate (Hetzner Cloud, EU region). Payment processing is delegated to a third-party provider (currently in demo mode); when a real provider is connected, we'll name it here and update the data-sharing section.

Identity verification (KYC)

If you request a cash withdrawal of embers, we ask you to verify your identity by uploading a government-issued ID (and optionally a selfie with it). These documents are used solely to review your withdrawal eligibility. They are stored encrypted on our server and are permanently deleted as soon as the review is complete— we keep only the outcome (approved/rejected), the reviewer's note, and the date. Payout card details are likewise stored encrypted; only the last four digits are ever displayed. To have a pending submission and its documents removed before review, email hello@pyrekin.com.

Your rights

Under GDPR and similar laws, you can request access to or deletion of your personal data at any time. Use the "Delete my account" button in your profile to erase your account, run history, cloud save, and purchases. The deletion is immediate and irreversible.

Cookies

See our Cookie Policy for the cookies and localStorage entries we set.

Children

Pyrekin is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We may update this policy as the game evolves. Material changes will be announced on the site.
