Privacy & cookie policy

This page explains what TradeOff collects, why, and the choices you have. TradeOff is a free game funded by advertising.

Data we collect

  • Account: email address, display name and chosen avatar.
  • Games: rooms you join, moves, results and match history.
  • Preferences: language, sound, tutorial progress and your cookie choices.
  • Technical data: session identifiers, approximate region and device/browser information needed to serve the site.

Why we use it

  • To run your account, rooms and matches.
  • To show your match history and statistics.
  • To keep the game fair and prevent abuse.
  • To show advertising that keeps the game free, only with your consent.

Cookies and local storage

Essential storage keeps you signed in and your game running; it cannot be switched off. Everything else only runs after you accept it in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time.

  • Essential: Sign-in, game session and security. Always on.
  • Preferences: Language, sound and tutorial progress.
  • Measurement: Anonymous statistics about how the game is used.
  • Advertising: Google AdSense ads in the lobby and between matches.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

TradeOff uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Ads appear in the lobby and, at most once every two matches, as a full-screen ad when you return to the lobby. They are never shown during a match, during an active round timer, or while a player is reconnecting. Google may set cookies or read device identifiers to serve and measure ads; the AdSense script is only loaded after you consent to advertising cookies, and ads are always requested as non-personalised. More information is available in Google's advertising and privacy policies.

Minors

TradeOff has no minimum age, so we assume children may play. We therefore request only non-personalised, child-directed-safe advertising, never profile users for advertising, and never ask for data beyond what the game needs. Children should ask a parent or guardian before creating an account. A parent or guardian may contact us at any time to access or delete a child's account and data.

Your rights

You can access, correct or delete your account and data, withdraw consent at any time, and object to processing. Contact us through the account email used to sign in and we will answer within 30 days.
