Your data, plainly
Blipyard is a free browser arcade. You can play everything without an account. If you sign in, we keep the smallest amount of data needed to save your progress, run leaderboards and connect you with friends. We never sell it and we do not show personalised ads.
If you play as a guest
Your progress (coins, level, items, scores, settings) is saved only in your browser's local storage on that device. It is not sent to us. Clearing your browser data, or "Reset my progress" in Settings, erases it.
If you sign in
You sign in with Google or Discord. We ask them only for your basic profile, never your email address, contacts or anything else. We store:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Which service you signed in with, and the ID number that service gives your account | To recognise you next time you sign in |
| The player name you choose | Shown on leaderboards, your profile page and to friends |
| The profile picture you pick, and the web address of your Google or Discord picture | Your Google or Discord picture is only shown if you choose it as your profile picture |
| Game progress: coins, XP, level, items, quests, streak, trophies, best scores, how often you played each game | So your progress follows you to any device |
| Recent runs (game, score, coins, length) for 14 days | To check scores are believable and stop cheating |
| Friends, friend requests and invites | So you can play together |
| When you were last online, the game you have open and your co-op room code | Shown to your friends only, so they can join you |
| A sign-in cookie (a random code; we keep only a scrambled copy) | To keep you signed in for up to 60 days |
Your Google or Discord display name is used once, to suggest a player name, and is not stored. We do not use tracking cookies or analytics on players.
Chat
Anyone can read world chat; only signed-in players with a player name can post. Team chat is visible only to the players in the same co-op room.
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| World chat messages (with your player name, picture and level) | Deleted after 24 hours, or at once if a moderator removes them or you delete your account |
| Team chat messages | Deleted when the room ends (the host leaves, or nobody is connected for 15 minutes) |
| Players you muted or blocked | Until you undo it or delete your account |
| A reported message, the ten messages before it, who reported it and why | Kept for moderators to review; the reporter's name is removed if they delete their account |
| Chat mutes and bans, and how many automatic mutes you had | Until a moderator lifts them or you delete your account |
Messages are checked automatically before anyone sees them: slurs, sexual words and threats are blocked, links (except blipyard.com), e-mail addresses, phone numbers and other apps' usernames are blocked, and mild swearing is hidden with asterisks. Repeated attempts mute the sender automatically for a while. To report a message, tap the face next to it (or the player's name) and choose Report; a moderator sees the message with the conversation around it. Mute hides a player's messages from you; Block also hides yours from them and stops their friend requests and invites. Never share your real name, address, school, phone number or other accounts in chat.
Who can see what
- Anyone can see your player name, picture, level, favourite games, best scores and trophies on your profile page and the leaderboards.
- Your chat messages are seen by everyone in that chat (world: anyone on the site; team: your room).
- Only your friends can see whether you are online, which game you are playing and your co-op room.
- Co-op games connect browsers directly to each other (WebRTC, via the PeerJS service), so other players in your room can see your network address, as with most online games.
Where it is kept
The site and its database run on Cloudflare. Sign-in goes through Google or Discord, under their own privacy policies.
Deleting your data
Signed in, open your account menu, choose Name and picture, then Delete my account. Your account, progress, scores, friends, invites and world chat messages are erased straight away. You can also remove Blipyard's access in your Google or Discord account settings.
Age
Accounts are for players aged 13 and over. If you are under 13, please play as a guest (no account, nothing leaves your device). If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Contact, names and cheaters
To ask about your data, report an offensive name, a chat message or a faked score, email hello@blipyard.com. Player names are checked against a list of blocked words, but no list catches everything.
