Safety, Privacy & Terms

_The short, friendly version. Full privacy details are at basetopia.xyz/privacy.

Privacy

No personal data. We don't ask for your name, email, phone number or location.
No cookies, no ads, no ad trackers.
Progress stays on your device. Game progress, medals, builds, islands, settings and your streak live in your browser's storage.
Leaderboard: when you finish a round, your time and the board name you chose are sent, tied to a random ID the game made. Please don't use your real name.
Ghost Relay: when you publish a level, the level, its title, your relay name and your ghost run are stored so others can race it. Racers' times and ghosts are stored the same way.
Island sharing: a shared island lives inside the link itself. Nothing is uploaded.
Anonymous play stats are on unless you turn them off in Settings. When they're on, simple events like "finished a round" go only to basetopia.xyz, the random stats ID is hashed on our server, we never store IP addresses or emails, and data is deleted after about 13 months.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are respected.

No open chat with strangers.
Board names and relay titles are filtered for bad words.
No wallet needed, so nobody in the game can ask you to connect one. The only official places are basetopia.xyz and @basetopiaxyz.
Report problems by mentioning or messaging @basetopiaxyz.

Every ranked run gets a run token from the server, and times that are faster than humanly possible are rejected.
Relay clears are checked too: a level has to be beaten by its maker before it can be published.
Cheating, exploiting bugs on purpose to top the boards, or offensive names can get times or names removed.
Cosmetics and Blocks never affect gameplay, so the boards are skill only.

Full legal terms are TBA, pending legal review. Until they're published, this page and basetopia.xyz/privacy describe how things work today.
