Privacy Policy

The short version

Mothlight has no accounts, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. The only thing the game ever sends off your device is the nickname you choose and your best score, and only if you decide to join the world board.

What we collect

Nickname and best score (optional). If you join the world board, your chosen nickname (2 to 16 letters and numbers) and your best score are sent to our scoreboard service and shown publicly to other players. One row per nickname; a new best replaces the old one. If you never join, nothing leaves the device.
Local play data. Your best score, chosen difficulty, and whether you have seen the tutorial are stored only on your device.
Transient network data. When the app talks to the scoreboard, our infrastructure provider sees your IP address as part of ordinary request handling and short-lived rate limiting. We do not store IP addresses with scores and cannot link a nickname to a person.

Mothlight collects no names, emails, contacts, photos, location, advertising identifiers, or any other personal information. There are no purchases and no payment data.

Who processes the data

The world board runs on Cloudflare (Workers, D1, and KV), which hosts the scoreboard and handles requests on our behalf. App distribution is handled by the Apple App Store. No other processors are involved. We do not sell data, share it for advertising, or use it for profiling of any kind.

Legal bases

Where GDPR or similar laws apply: joining the world board is processed on the basis of your consent (you type a nickname and press join); rate limiting and abuse protection rest on our legitimate interest in keeping the board honest.

Retention

A world-board entry is kept so the board can display it. Rate-limit records expire automatically within minutes. Local play data stays on your device until you delete the app.

Your rights

You can ask us to remove or change a world-board entry at any time (access, rectification, deletion, or export): email noumenon.aii@gmail.com with the nickname, and we will remove it. Deleting the app removes all local data.

Children

Mothlight is suitable for general audiences and collects no personal information from anyone, including children. Nicknames are free text you choose; do not use your real name if you do not want it shown.

International transfers

Cloudflare serves requests from data centers worldwide; world-board data may be processed in the United States and other countries under Cloudflare's standard safeguards.

Security

Scoreboard traffic is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Input is validated and bounded server-side, and submissions are rate limited.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date.
