Privacy Policy
1. What We Collect
Discord details – When you log in with Discord OAuth2, we receive and store your Discord ID, username, and avatar URL. This is how we identify you. We do not collect your email address, password, real name, phone number, or any other personal identifiable information (PII).
Cookies and localStorage – We use browser cookies and localStorage to keep you logged in (store your session token) and remember your game preferences. These are strictly necessary for the Service to function. No third‑party tracking cookies are used.
Logs of everything you interact with – We log every action you take while using TradeRange: games played, answers submitted, scores earned, pages visited, buttons clicked, API calls made, and any content you view or connect to. This includes timestamps, your Discord ID, IP addresses, and browser/device metadata.
2. How We Use This Information
- To operate the leaderboard and save your game progress.
- To detect and prevent cheating, automation, scraping, and abuse.
- To debug, improve, and analyze usage of the Service.
- To enforce our Terms of Service (e.g., suspending accounts that violate fair play).
We do not sell, rent, or share your Discord ID or logs with advertisers or any third parties except as required by law.
3. No Personal Data Collected
TradeRange is designed to not collect personal data. We do not ask for or store your email, name, address, payment info, or any sensitive information. Your Discord ID is a pseudonymous identifier — it is not considered personal data under many privacy laws because it does not directly reveal your real-world identity. However, we still protect it as if it were.
4. Reliance on Discord ID
Your Discord ID is the sole key to your TradeRange account. It ties together your scores, settings, and gameplay history. If you delete your Discord account or lose access, you will not be able to recover your TradeRange progress unless you can still authenticate with the same Discord ID.
5. Cookies & Local Storage
We set a session token in localStorage after you log in via Discord. This token expires after 30 days. We also use a single cookie for CSRF protection. No tracking or analytics cookies are used. You can clear browser data at any time, but you will be logged out.
6. Data Retention
Logs of your interactions are retained for up to 90 days, after which they are automatically deleted or anonymized. Your Discord ID, username, avatar, and gameplay history (scores, points) are kept until you request deletion. When you request account deletion via legal@tradely.dev, we will remove your Discord ID and all associated data within 30 days. Aggregated, non‑identifiable statistics (e.g., “average score per game”) may be retained.
7. Third Parties & Stock Data APIs
When you play a game that fetches live stock data, your IP address may be visible to our upstream data providers (public stock APIs). No Discord ID or other identifier is shared with them. We do not use any third‑party analytics, ad networks, or tracking scripts.
8. Your Rights
Since we collect no personal data (by definition), traditional GDPR/CCPA rights around access, correction, and portability of personal data have limited application. However, you absolutely have the right to:
- Request deletion of your Discord ID and all associated gameplay data.
- Opt out of logging – The only way is to stop using the Service. Logging is inherent to operation and security.
To request deletion, email legal@tradely.dev from the email associated with your Discord account (if any) or contact a maintainer on the tradely.dev Discord.
9. Children Under 13
TradeRange is not intended for children under 13. If we discover that a user under 13 has logged in via Discord, we will delete their data. Discord’s own age requirements also apply.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy. Changes will be announced on our Discord (tradely.dev) and via the website. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
11. Contact & Project Maintainers
TradeRange is maintained by volunteers via the tradely.dev community. For privacy questions:
- Discord: discord.tradely.dev
- Email: legal@tradely.dev
Our game website is traderange.net – but all legal and project coordination happens under tradely.dev.
