OVERVIEW — WHAT WE COLLECT & WHY

Rekt Defender is designed with privacy in mind. We do not require you to create an account, provide your name, or share an email address. Your identity on our platform is your wallet address — a pseudonymous identifier on the Solana blockchain.

We collect only what is necessary to operate the game and leaderboard fairly. Here is a summary of everything we collect:

• Wallet address — to identify you on the leaderboard and send prizes
• Game scores — to power the leaderboard and Hall of Fame
• Session IDs — to verify paid games and prevent fraud
• Wave reached — recorded alongside scores for context
• Timestamps — to determine weekly leaderboard rankings
• Basic technical data — browser type, device type, and IP address for security and analytics

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, physical address, government ID, or any other personally identifying information.

WALLET ADDRESSES

When you connect your Solana wallet to Rekt Defender, we receive your public wallet address. This is a string of characters that identifies your wallet on the Solana blockchain — for example, GmRaXXXX...xK9f.

We use your wallet address to:

• Display your position on the leaderboard
• Record your score against your identity
• Send prize payments when you win
• Prevent the same wallet submitting fraudulent duplicate sessions
• Maintain the permanent Hall of Fame record

Wallet Address Display

On the leaderboard and Hall of Fame, wallet addresses are displayed in shortened form — for example GmRa...xK9f. The full address is stored in our database and used for prize payments but is not displayed publicly in full on the Site.

We never ask for, store, or have access to your private key or seed phrase. Never share these with anyone. We will never ask for them.

GAMEPLAY DATA

When you play a paid game, the following data is recorded in our database (Supabase):

• Wallet address — your identifier
• Score — your final score for that game session
• Wave reached — how far you progressed
• Session ID — unique identifier tied to your payment transaction, used for fraud prevention
• Timestamp — the date and time the score was submitted
• Week number — used to determine which weekly leaderboard your score belongs to

Demo mode scores are not stored in our database. They exist only in your browser for the duration of your session.

Your best score each week is displayed publicly on the leaderboard. When a week ends, your winning score (if you finish top 3) is permanently recorded in the Hall of Fame. All other weekly scores are retained in our database for fraud prevention and audit purposes but are not displayed publicly.

TECHNICAL DATA

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) automatically collects certain technical data when you visit the Site:

• IP address — used for security monitoring and abuse prevention
• Browser type and version — used to ensure compatibility
• Device type — desktop or mobile
• Pages visited and time spent — used for basic analytics
• Referring URL — how you arrived at the Site

This data is collected by Vercel as part of their standard hosting infrastructure. We use it only to monitor Site performance and security. We do not use it for advertising or profiling. Vercel's privacy policy applies to data collected at the hosting level and can be found at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

BLOCKCHAIN & PUBLIC DATA

All payment transactions are processed on the Solana blockchain. Blockchain transactions are public, permanent, and immutable by design. This means:

• Your payment transactions are publicly visible on Solana Explorer
• Prize payment transactions sent to your wallet are publicly visible
• We cannot delete or modify any on-chain data
• The Hall of Fame records are backed by on-chain transaction proof

This is a fundamental property of public blockchains and not something within our control. If you are concerned about on-chain privacy, consider researching privacy tools available within the Solana ecosystem.

DATA SHARING

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial purposes.

We use the following third party services to operate the Site, and your data may pass through their infrastructure:

• Vercel — website hosting. Collects standard server logs. Privacy policy →
• Supabase — database hosting for scores and leaderboard data. Data stored in Supabase servers. Privacy policy →
• Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics — analytics and tracking. Collects anonymised usage data. Privacy policy →
• OpenFacilitator / x402 — payment processing on Solana. Handles payment verification. No personal data beyond wallet address is shared.
• Solana blockchain — public ledger. All on-chain transactions are permanently public.

We may disclose data if required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory authority. We will notify you of any such requirement to the extent permitted by law.

DATA RETENTION

We retain data for as long as necessary to operate the game and leaderboard fairly:

• Hall of Fame records — retained permanently. These are the public record of all weekly winners and cannot be deleted without undermining the integrity of the competition.
• Weekly leaderboard scores — retained indefinitely for fraud prevention and audit purposes. Not displayed publicly after the relevant week ends.
• Session IDs — retained indefinitely to prevent reuse and fraud.
• Technical logs — retained by Vercel per their standard data retention policy (typically 30 days).

Because Hall of Fame records are tied to on-chain prize payments, they cannot be fully deleted — the blockchain record will always exist even if we remove the display from our Site.

YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data. As we hold minimal personal data, these rights are limited in practice:

• Access — you can request a copy of data we hold associated with your wallet address
• Correction — if data we hold is inaccurate, you can request correction
• Deletion — you can request deletion of your data from our database. Note: Hall of Fame records tied to on-chain prize payments cannot be fully deleted. Weekly scores not on the Hall of Fame can be deleted on request.
• Objection — you can object to our processing of your data in certain circumstances

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via X DM with your wallet address and the specific request. We will respond within 30 days.

COOKIES

We use minimal cookies and local storage:

• Local storage — your all-time high score (ATH) is stored locally in your browser. This never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers.
• Session cookies — used by Vercel for standard hosting functionality. These are technical cookies necessary to serve the website and do not track you for advertising purposes.
• Google Tag Manager (GTM-THCBC37D) — we use Google Tag Manager to manage analytics and tracking scripts. GTM itself does not collect personal data but may load third party tags that do. See Google's Privacy Policy for details on how Google handles data.
• Google Analytics — loaded via Google Tag Manager. Collects anonymised data about how visitors use the Site including pages visited, time on site, and device type. This data is used to improve the Site and understand our audience. No personally identifiable information is collected. You can opt out using Google's opt-out tool.

We do not use advertising cookies, remarketing pixels, or any cookies designed to track you across other websites.

You can clear local storage and cookies at any time through your browser settings. Clearing local storage will reset your locally stored ATH score.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We will notify the community of significant changes via our X and Hey.LOL channels.

Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
