Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

   Welcome to Old Lane 17 ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our website at www.oldlane17.com and use our gaming platform at gambit.oldlane17.com. By using our site and logging in, you consent to this policy.

2. Data Collection and Storage

   To provide a functional gaming and ranking system, we collect and store specific information when you authenticate via Google:

   • Account Information: We store your Google email address and your Google account name to identify your unique account.
   • Profile Information: We store the "applied username" you choose to display on our leaderboards and within the game interface.
   • Game Data: We store your Elo ratings and game history to maintain a competitive ranking system.

3. Third-Party Services

   We rely on Google services to provide authentication and improve our platform:

   A. Google Analytics & Google Tag

   • Purpose: We use Google Tag to manage Google Analytics, which helps us understand site traffic, popular games, and user behavior.
   • Data Collected: Anonymized IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns.
   • Opt-Out: Google Analytics Opt-Out

   B. Google Authentication

   • Purpose: To allow secure login without requiring a separate password on our servers.
   • Data Privacy: We only access the profile information you authorize during the OAuth process.

4. Cookies

   We use cookies to keep you signed into your account and to facilitate Google Analytics. Essential cookies are required for the game to recognize your session and record your Elo changes. You can disable cookies via your browser, but the site will not function for logged-in play.

5. Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

   You have the right to access the data we hold about you or request its deletion. Because we store your email and Elo history on our servers, you may request that your account be wiped. Note that deleting your account will result in the permanent loss of your Elo ranking and game history.
