Privacy
Last updated 14 September 2026
The short version: you get a guest account the moment you visit, with a made-up name and no form. We keep your name and your match record so a leaderboard can exist. We don't run ads, analytics, or trackers, and we don't sell anything about you to anyone. If you give us an email it's so you can sign in on another device, nothing else.
Who we are
SLAPPERS is a browser game at slappers.io, run by an individual, not a company. Questions and requests about your data go to jordonomarchesano@gmail.com.
What we collect, and why
| What | Why | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| A random account ID | So you're the same player next time, without asking you anything | Our database; a session token in your browser's storage |
| Your handle | Shown to other players and on the leaderboard. We generate one; you can change it | Our database |
| Your match record — slaps landed, times slapped, matches, wins, best streak | Your stats and the public leaderboard | Our database |
| Email and password (only if you create an account) | So you can sign in on another device and keep the same record | Our database; the password is stored hashed, never as typed |
| Look-sensitivity setting | So the game feels the same next visit | Your browser only; it never leaves your device |
| Match join codes and a "who's online" count | To put you in a match with other people | Our database, briefly; a match advert expires seconds after the host stops |
We do not collect your real name, date of birth, location, contacts, or anything from your device beyond what's listed. There is no in-game chat, so there's nothing you type to other players for us to store.
Your IP address
We don't store your IP address in our own records. The services that deliver the game see it in order to do their job — that's how the internet works — and each keeps it under its own policy: Vercel (serves the website), Supabase (accounts and database), and Unity Technologies (relays multiplayer traffic between players).
What's public
Your handle and your match record are visible to anyone, on the leaderboard and in matches. That's the point of a leaderboard. Your email is never shown to anyone. Guest accounts are marked as guests on their own profile screen and nowhere else.
Cookies and storage
We don't set cookies. The game keeps a session token and your settings in your browser's local storage so it can recognise you on your next visit. Clearing your site data for slappers.io removes them — and if you're a guest who hasn't created an account, that also loses your record for good, because there's nothing left that ties it to you.
Children
SLAPPERS isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account with an email address, contact us and we'll delete it.
How long we keep things
Your account and record stay until you ask us to delete them. We don't currently expire inactive accounts. Match adverts and queue entries are transient and disappear within a minute of you leaving.
Deleting your data
Email jordonomarchesano@gmail.com from the address on your account (or, for a guest, with your handle) and we'll delete the account. Deleting it removes your profile, your record, and anything else tied to it — there's no partial keep. We aim to do this within 30 days and usually far sooner. There isn't a self-service delete button yet.
Your rights
Wherever you are, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, at the address above. We'll answer honestly and act on it. We don't make automated decisions about you and we don't profile you.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and, for anything significant, we'll say so on the site. We won't quietly start collecting more.
