Privacy policy

Who we are

2DGameClub (2dgameclub.com, play.2dgameclub.com) is operated by 2DGameClub Studio, an independent developer based in India, which is responsible for your data. Contact: jaym6600@gmail.com or our contact page.

What we collect

Guest accounts

When you first play a game we create an anonymous guest account identified only by a random ID. It holds your progress (coins, statistics, settings and game history) but no name or email. If you clear your browser's data before signing in, you lose access to it.

Signing in with Google

Signing in is optional, and Google is the only sign-in we offer. One sign-in works on this website and in every 2DGameClub game, on as many devices as you like. When you sign in, Google shares with us, with your permission, only the basic profile scopes openid, email and profile:

• Email address — used to identify your account and to suggest your first player name (the part before the @, which you can change). Never shown to other players.
• Name and profile picture — used only to show you which Google account you are signed in with.
• Google account ID — used to recognise your account when you sign in again, on any device.

We never see or store your Google password, and we do not access your Gmail, contacts, Drive, calendar or any other Google data.

Player profile

• Player name — you choose it; it is shown publicly on leaderboards and in game invites, and must be unique. It does not need to be your real name.
• Avatar and preferences — your chosen avatar, piece colours, theme and sound settings.

Game data

For each game: your statistics (games played, wins, ratings), coins, achievements, solo-challenge progress, saved games and online match moves. Each game's own policy (linked below) lists exactly what that game keeps. Your player name, rating and match results are visible to other players on leaderboards; the rest is private to your account.

Usage data and error reports

We record simple events such as starting or finishing a game, with the game version, tied only to your account's internal ID and stored in our own database — never sent to third-party analytics. When something goes wrong, a game may send an error report (the error, game version, platform, a random device and session ID and, if signed in, your internal account ID). The website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and counts only aggregate page views.

Cookies and browser storage

• gc_player_name — our cookie on .2dgameclub.com that remembers your player name so every game can show it.
• Sign-in session — kept in your browser's local storage on play.2dgameclub.com so you stay signed in across our games for days at a time.
• Settings and progress — saved in local storage so the games load quickly.
• Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense (see Advertising).

What we don't collect

• Payment details — there are no purchases in the browser games; coins are earned by playing.
• Precise or background location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.
• Passwords — sign-in is handled entirely by Google.
• Any Google data beyond the basic profile scopes listed above.

How we use your data

• To run the games — save your progress, deliver online moves and keep your account in sync across games and devices.
• To recognise you when you sign in — and carry your name, profile, coins and statistics to any device.
• For leaderboards and ranked play — so players can compete fairly.
• To keep play fair — detect cheating, abuse and multiple-account manipulation.
• To fix bugs and improve the games — using usage events and error reports.

We do not use your data, and in particular never your Google user data, to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell, rent or trade it.

Google user data — Limited Use

2DGameClub's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically: we use Google user data only to provide and improve sign-in and the account features described above; we do not transfer it to others except as needed to provide those features, to comply with law, or as part of a merger or acquisition with your notice; we do not use it for advertising; and no human reads it except with your consent, for security, or to comply with law.

Advertising

The website and games may show ads served by Google AdSense, which keep the games free. In games, ads appear between games or as an optional ad you can watch for coins — never in the middle of a move.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
• You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
• In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google shows personalised ads only with your consent.

Your sign-in data (email, name, Google ID) is never shared with the advertising service.

If we make a significant change, we will update this page and the date at the top. We will never quietly weaken it.
