ArcadeSkill ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at arcadeskill.com (the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your personal data and complying with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

• Game data — your scores, reaction times, and game history when you play games on our platform.
• Usage data — pages visited, time spent, device type and browser, collected automatically via cookies and analytics.

We use your data to:

• Provide and maintain the Service, including saving your game scores and displaying leaderboards
• Identify you on leaderboards using your username
• Contact you if you win a competition prize

Under UK GDPR, we process your data on the following legal bases:

• Contract — processing necessary to provide the Service you signed up for
• Legitimate interests — analytics and service improvement

We use Google OAuth to authenticate users. When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google. We do not receive your Google password. Your use of Google Sign-In is also subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Service. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

• Supabase — our database and authentication provider, acting as a data processor on our behalf
• Vercel — our hosting provider
• Google — for authentication (Google Sign-In) and advertising (AdSense)
• Law enforcement or regulatory bodies where required by law

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Game scores and leaderboard data are retained indefinitely as they form part of the public record of the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time (see Your Rights below).

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate personal data
• Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
