Hi! I'm Nikos and I'm a full stack engineer. I like coding all sorts of stuff, although I focus more on front end development with native JS/CSS features, React and 2D games with PixiJS. I'm really looking forward to provide more and more content in this website and I hope you enjoy my blog and games.

Privacy Policy for Couples Run

Effective Date: 2024-11-24

Couples Run (“we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you play our game. By using our game, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you play Couples Run, we collect the following information:

  • Nickname: Your nickname, which is used to identify you in the game and on the leaderboard.
  • Game Score: Your score in the game, which is stored to display your rank on the leaderboard.

Both your nickname and score are stored in our Firebase Firestore database.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used for the following purposes:

  • To identify you in the game and display your nickname on the leaderboard.
  • To store and display your game score on the leaderboard, allowing you to compare your performance with other players.

We do not use this information for any other purposes, such as for advertising or data analysis.

3. Data Storage and Security

We store your information on Firebase Firestore, a secure cloud service provided by Google. We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, please note that no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

4. Firebase Firestore Data Storage

In addition to the data you provide (nickname and score), Firebase Firestore may automatically store certain metadata, such as:

  • Timestamps: Information about when your data (nickname and score) was created or last updated.
  • Transaction Metadata: Basic metadata related to the storage and retrieval of your data, such as document IDs or records of database transactions.

While Firebase Firestore does not collect personal information like your IP address or device details as part of our service, Google may collect such data as part of its network infrastructure for security, performance, and monitoring purposes. This data is used to maintain the service’s stability and security, and it is not shared with us. Firestore does not automatically collect or store sensitive personal information beyond the data you provide (nickname and score).

5. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal information (nickname or game score) with third parties, except in the following cases:

  • Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers, such as Firebase, who help us store and manage the data.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required by law, to comply with legal obligations, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Couples Run, its users, or others.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our game is accessible to children under 13 years of age. We are committed to complying with applicable laws protecting children’s privacy, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States.

  • What We Collect from Children: We collect the player’s nickname and score to allow participation in the game’s leaderboard. We do not collect additional personal information from children.
  • Parental Consent: If you are under 13 years of age, we recommend that you obtain parental consent before playing the game or submitting your information.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, you can contact us at printezisn@gmail.com to request that we delete the information.
