Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 15, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to GridGame ("we," "us," or "our"). We operate the website f1grid.games (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We never store your password in plain text. Account creation is optional; you can use GridGame without registering.
2.2 Game Data
We store your game scores and progress. For unauthenticated users, game state is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. For authenticated users, game scores are also stored in our database to enable cross-device synchronization.
2.3 Automatically Collected Information
We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data such as page views, referral sources, and performance metrics. These services do not use cookies and do not collect personally identifiable information.
3. Local Storage
We use browser localStorage (prefixed with f1game-*) to store your game state, preferences (such as language and theme), and session data. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you are signed in, in which case game scores are synced to our database.
4. Cookies
GridGame uses only essential cookies required for authentication sessions (via NextAuth). We do not use any third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies. In the future, if we integrate advertising services, this policy will be updated accordingly.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Vercel — hosting, analytics, and speed insights
- Neon — PostgreSQL database hosting
- NextAuth — authentication framework (JWT-based sessions)
- Resend — transactional email delivery (password reset emails)
Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their respective policies.
6. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain the Service
- Authenticate your account and manage sessions
- Synchronize game progress across devices for registered users
- Send password reset emails when requested
- Monitor and improve performance and user experience
7. Data Retention
Account data and game scores are retained as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, please contact us at the email address below. localStorage data is retained on your device until you clear your browser data.
8. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including password hashing, HTTPS encryption, and secure JWT-based sessions. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights, including:
- The right to access, update, or delete your personal information
- The right to rectification if your information is inaccurate or incomplete
- The right to object to processing of your personal information

- The right to withdraw consent

10. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
