Privacy Policy

Who we are

the strip ("the game", "we") is an online drag racing game. Contact: support@thestrip.io.

What we collect

Guest play: your save lives in your browser's localStorage. If you never create an online session, nothing about you reaches our servers.

Online accounts: an account identifier, your email address (if you sign in with email), and your game state, cars, parts, currency balances, race results, replay input logs, and an append-only log of in-game transactions. Race replays contain only game inputs (key timings), never text or personal content.

Purchases: payments are processed by Stripe. We never see your card number. We store the Stripe payment id, the pack purchased, and the amount, so we can credit your account and handle refunds.

What we use it for

Running the game (saving progress, matchmaking, leaderboards), preventing cheating (server-side replay verification), fulfilling purchases, and required accounting.

Processors

Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), Stripe (payments). Each processes data only to provide their service to us.

Retention

Account data is kept while the account exists. Deleting your account removes all game data immediately; our payment processor Stripe retains transaction records as required by financial and tax law.

Your rights

You can export all data we hold about you (Account → Download my data) and delete your account entirely (Account → Delete account). EU/UK residents have the full set of GDPR rights, access, rectification, erasure, portability, and complaint to your supervisory authority.

Children

Real-money purchases require an adult (18+) attestation. The game is not directed at children under 13.
