Privacy Policy
Effective November 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Pelleg Games ("we", "us", "our") collects when you play Screw Your Neighbor (the "Game"), how we use it, who can see it, and the choices you have. Questions or requests: [email protected]
1. What we collect
Information you give us:
- Account: when you first play, a random ID for your device, which logs you in to your guest account. When you register, your email address and password. Our server keeps only a scrambled form (a hash) of your password, never the password itself. We also record when you agreed to the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, which versions you agreed to, and that you confirmed you're 18 or older.
- Profile: your player name, and the photo, frame, title and card back you choose.
Information created as you play:
- Game progress: your level and XP, coins and the history of coins paid and received, rounds played and their results, statistics, achievements, daily challenges, event progress, rewards claimed, and the items you own.
- Friends: the friend requests you send, receive, accept or deny, and your friends list.
- Purchases (when available): what you bought, when, its price, and the payment provider's reference for the payment. Your card or bank details go to the payment provider, not to us.
Information collected automatically:
- Messages to support: when you send a message with Help & Feedback, what you write and what it's about, the name of any player you report, your player name, account ID, email address, level and coins, and your Game's version, the kind of device or browser, and its screen size. If you tick the box for it, your recent coin changes and the tables they came from too. The message is saved on our server and emailed to our support mailbox so we can answer you.
- Connection information: your IP address, and the type of device or browser you use, which our servers and our network provider (Cloudflare) record in their logs when you connect.
- Login attempts: how many times a login was tried for an email address in the last few minutes, to stop people guessing passwords. This is stored against a scrambled form of the email address.
- Email checks: when you register, we email a code to the address you give, to check it's yours. We keep the code until it's used or runs out after 15 minutes, and count how many codes each address was sent in the last hour, stored against a scrambled form of the address, so nobody can use the Game to flood someone's inbox.
2. What is stored on your device
The Game saves your display and animation settings, a copy of your progress, your email address so you don't have to type it again, a login token so you stay logged in, and, until you register, your guest ID, on your computer or in your browser's storage. The token is not your password, and Log Out removes it. The Game does not use advertising or tracking cookies.
3. What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your personal information.
- We don't show ads, and don't share your information with advertisers.
- We don't use third-party analytics or tracking tools in the Game.
4. How we use your information
- To create and run your account, and log you in.
- To run the Game: seat you at tables, play rounds, keep your progress, coins and items, run events, leaderboards and friends.
- To provide purchases you make.
- To keep the Game fair and secure: stop cheating, abuse and password guessing, and fix bugs.
- To answer you when you contact us, and to tell you about important changes to the Game or these policies.
- To follow the law.
5. What other players can see
Other players can see your player name, photo, frame and level at tables, on leaderboards, and in friends lists, and see your results in rounds you play together. They can't see your email address.
6. Who we share information with
We share information only with companies that help us run the Game, and only what they need to do that:
- Server hosting: the company that hosts our servers, where the Game's data is kept.
- Cloudflare: carries and protects the connection between the Game and our servers.
- Payment providers (when purchases are available): such as Creem, or Steam for the Steam version, which handle payments under their own privacy policies.
We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect the rights and safety of our players or others, or as part of a sale or transfer of the Game, in which case this policy would still apply to your information.
7. How long we keep it
- We keep your account, profile and game information while your account exists.
- When your account is deleted, we delete this information within 30 days, except records we must keep by law, such as purchase records. Copies in our backups are deleted as those backups are replaced.
- Server logs with IP addresses are kept only for a limited time, for security and to fix problems.
8. Your choices and rights
- Change your profile: you can change your player name, photo, frame and title in the Game at any time.
- Delete your account: email [email protected] from your account's email address and ask us to delete it. Deleting an account removes its coins, items and progress for good.
- See or correct your information: email us to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, or to correct it.
Depending on where you live (for example in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or some US states such as California), you may have further rights, such as to object to or limit how we use your information, to move it to another service, or to complain to your local data protection authority. We will answer requests within the time the law requires, and won't treat you differently for making one. We may need to confirm it's you before we act on a request.
9. Security
We protect your information with measures such as encrypted connections, scrambled passwords, and limits on login attempts. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a password you don't use anywhere else.
10. Age
The Game is only for people aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you believe someone under 18 has an account, tell us and we will delete it.
11. Where information is processed
Our servers and the companies we work with may process your information in the United States and other countries, whose laws may differ from those where you live. Where the law requires it, we use appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will change the effective date above, and for important changes we will tell you in the Game.
