PUSH Privacy Policy
Effective date:
Operator: William Kurtz, doing business as BVNGER ("we," "us," or "our")
Privacy contact: support@bvnger.dev
This policy explains how PUSH handles information when you play, create an account, use cloud saves, submit feedback, make an optional contribution, or contact us.
1. Age check and local guest play
PUSH's online features are for players age 13 and older. Before creating an account, new players answer a neutral birth-year question. If necessary to determine whether they have turned 13, we also ask whether their birthday has occurred this year. The game keeps only the eligibility result on the device; the birth year and birthday answer are not saved or sent to our servers. The result is remembered so the age question cannot simply be retried in the game.
Players under 13 can play only as local guests. Account creation, sign-in, cloud saves, feedback, and donations are hidden and disabled. Guest progress stays on the device. The game does not send guest personal information, account information, age answers, installation identifiers, or gameplay progress to PUSH's online services.
Loading the browser game still requires ordinary website requests. Cloudflare processes the technical information needed to serve and protect the website, and the website uses the aggregate analytics described below. These website activities are separate from the game's disabled account and gameplay requests.
2. Information used by online features
- Accounts: nickname, Player ID, a randomly generated installation identifier, account and sign-in timestamps, and authentication information used for PIN login, recovery, and saved sessions. PINs and recovery codes are submitted when needed for authentication; the server stores verification hashes rather than the original PIN or recovery code.
- Cloud saves: coins, highest unlocked level, weapons, upgrades, equipped items, and progress-changing game actions. This information is associated with your account.
- Feedback: your message and category, nickname, Player ID, installation identifier, game version, current level, map seed, platform, and submission time. Feedback is sent to us privately. Avoid including sensitive personal information.
- Support: information you voluntarily provide when contacting us, including your email address and message.
- Technical requests: our hosting provider may process IP addresses, request timestamps, network traffic, browser or system information, and security-related information to deliver and protect the service.
Creating a game account does not require your real name or email address.
3. How we use information
We use information to create and authenticate accounts, save and restore progress, operate game features, investigate bugs, review feedback, provide support, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising.
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on providing the game services you request, our legitimate interests in maintaining and securing the game, legal obligations, and consent where required.
4. Device storage and analytics
PUSH stores progress, preferences, account and session identifiers, the age-check result, and the acknowledged policy version in browser or device storage. Clearing that storage may remove local progress and sign you out. Resetting game progress does not delete a server-side account or previously submitted feedback.
pushv9.pages.dev uses Cloudflare Web Analytics. It provides cookieless, aggregate information about website visits and performance. It does not use advertising cookies or track individuals across websites. Learn more in Cloudflare's Web Analytics documentation.
5. Providers and disclosures
We use Cloudflare for website hosting, online services, and database storage. Cloudflare processes the information needed to provide these services under its applicable agreements and Privacy Policy.
Optional contributions are handled through Venmo. Venmo processes payment information under its Privacy Statement. We may receive transaction information made available to the payment recipient, such as the payer's name or username, amount, note, and timestamp. Payment activity may be publicly visible depending on the payer's Venmo privacy settings and the settings applicable to the transaction. Review those settings before paying; see Venmo's privacy settings guidance.
We may disclose information when legally required or reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, protect users, or secure the service. If ownership of PUSH changes, relevant information may transfer to the new operator, subject to applicable law and appropriate notice.
6. Retention and security
- Account and cloud-save information is retained until you ask for deletion.
- Feedback is retained for up to two years after submission.
- Server logs are retained according to Cloudflare's standard retention for the services involved.
- Support correspondence is kept while needed to resolve the request and meet applicable legal obligations. Payment records are handled under Venmo's retention practices and any recordkeeping obligations that apply to us.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No internet service or storage system can guarantee complete security. Keep your PIN and recovery code private.
7. Deletion requests and other rights
To request account deletion, email support@bvnger.dev with your nickname and Player ID. We may ask you to confirm ownership by sending an in-game feedback message from that account. Never email your PIN or recovery code. We handle deletion requests within 30 days. If we cannot verify ownership or a legal obligation prevents deletion of a particular record, we will explain this within that period.
You may also contact us to request access to or correction of information we hold. Depending on where you live, additional rights may include obtaining a copy of your information, objecting to certain processing, or complaining to a privacy regulator. We honor rights required by applicable law.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through an online game feature, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action, including deletion where required.
8. International processing and changes
Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, appropriate safeguards apply to international transfers.
We may update this policy as PUSH changes. We will revise the effective date and provide additional notice when required. The game shows existing players a notice when a new policy version is introduced and remembers acknowledgement locally.
