Striphe's Daily Stock Game ("the game") is a free simulated stock-market game played with pretend money. It is run by Striphe's Stock Game ("we", "us"). This page explains, in plain language, what information the game uses and why.

What we collect

• A random player code. The first time you open the game, your browser creates a random code and stores it on your device. This is how the game recognizes you without an account or password. We never ask for your email, phone number or real name.
• Your display name. The name you type to appear on the leaderboard and in chat. Please do not use your real name or anything personal.
• Gameplay data. Your trades, orders, cash, positions, daily and weekly results, scores, and when you played.
• Chat messages you send in the player chat, with your display name and the time.
• Anonymous usage events. Simple counters such as "visited", "joined", "started a day", "finished a run", "tapped share" or "tapped donate", stored against a scrambled version of your player code. We use these to see how many people play and where they get stuck. They are not shared with any advertising or analytics company.
• Settings stored on your device (theme, sound on/off, chart preferences, drawings you make on charts). These stay in your browser's local storage and are not sent to us.

What we do not do

• We do not show ads, sell your information, or use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.
• We do not run third-party analytics services. Our counters live in our own spreadsheet.

Where information is stored

Game data is kept in a Google Sheet and Google Apps Script project controlled by us. The website files are hosted on Netlify. These providers may process technical information such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the service and keep it secure, under their own privacy policies. We do not receive or store your IP address in our game data.

Who can see what

Your display name, scores and chat messages are visible to other players and to us. Your random player code is never shown to other players. If you tap the donate button you leave the game and are subject to the privacy policy of the donation service.

Children

The game is meant for people aged 13 and over. If you are under 13, please do not use it. If you believe a child under 13 has used the game, contact us and we will delete their data.

Keeping and deleting data

We keep gameplay data and scores for as long as the game runs, and may archive old weekly results. You can clear the data stored on your device at any time by clearing your browser's site data (this will also disconnect you from your player code). To ask us to delete your player record, scores and chat messages, email jstockley31@gmail.com and tell us your display name.

Security

The game server decides prices, executes trades and records scores so that results are fair. No online service is perfectly secure, and because we collect so little about you, we ask that you never put personal information in your display name or chat.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above. Continuing to play means you accept the updated policy.
