Serial Lover Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Serial Lover (“the Game”) handles data related to its online leaderboard system.

The Game collects no personal information and does not identify players.

By using the leaderboard feature, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

When you complete a rhythm track and submit a score to the online leaderboard, the Game sends the following data to our server:

Gameplay Data

A recording of your inputs during the track (timing and keybound actions only)
The date and time of the submission
Track identifier and difficulty
Score, accuracy, and max combo

Anonymous Player Identifier

A randomly generated user ID used only to:
- associate your score with your device’s leaderboard profile
- allow updating your existing score if you beat it

This user ID cannot identify you and does not contain or reveal any personal information.

The Game does not collect your name, email, IP address (beyond what the server logs for normal security), location, device identifiers, or any other personally identifiable information.

2. How We Use the Data

Your submitted data is used only for the following purposes:

Verifying that your score is valid through server-side simulation
Adding or updating your score on the leaderboard
Displaying leaderboard rankings to players
Detecting cheating or invalid submissions

Your user ID is never publicly displayed, and it is not returned to players when leaderboard data is fetched.

3. What We Do NOT Do

We do not:

Collect personal data
Sell or share data with third parties
Track users across devices or services
Use analytics or advertising systems in the leaderboard
Link gameplay data to any real-world identity

4. Data Storage and Security

Leaderboard data is stored in a secured database accessible only to the Game’s developer.

We take reasonable steps to protect data, including:

Server-side validation
Secure connections (HTTPS)
Limited database access

5. Data Retention

Leaderboard entries may be stored indefinitely so players can compare scores over time.

If the leaderboard system is shut down in the future, all stored data will be permanently deleted.

6. Third-Party Services

The leaderboard operates only on our own servers.
We do not use third-party services for data processing or storage.

7. Children’s Privacy

Because no personal data is collected, the leaderboard system is suitable for players of all ages.
However, the Game itself may contain mature content and is intended for older audiences.

8. Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the new version will be made available on the Game’s website and/or within the Game.
Continued use of the leaderboard means you accept the updated policy.
