Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2026
The Short Version
MultiPirates is a free browser MMORPG. We collect basic analytics to understand how people play. We don't sell your data, we don't track you across websites, and we don't require a password account to start (play uses anonymous session auth for the shared server clock and optional cloud mirror). Progress lives primarily in your browser; the cloud is a mirror when signed in.
What We Collect
We use Google Analytics to collect:
- Page views and time spent on pages
- Button clicks and navigation patterns
- Device type (desktop/mobile) and browser
- Approximate location (country/region level)
- Game events: sessions started, boards viewed, play clicks, coarse progression signals
This data is anonymized and aggregated. We cannot identify individual users from Analytics alone.
What We Don't Collect
- Your real name, email, or contact information (no classic signup form)
- Precise location
- Your browsing history outside our site
- Payment data — there is no pay-to-win store
Local Storage & cloud mirror
Your game progress is saved in your browser's localStorage (pilot, galaxy, inventory, story). When online, a cloud mirror may sync progress for resume across devices. Clearing browser data deletes the local save; cloud recovery depends on the same anonymous session.
Third-Party Services
Google Analytics: We use GA4 for website and game analytics. Google's privacy policy applies to their data collection. Learn more
Firebase Hosting: The game is hosted on Google Firebase. Standard web server logs may be collected by Google.
Cookies
Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish users and sessions. These are first-party cookies set by our domain. No third-party tracking cookies are used.
Your Rights
You can:
- Use browser privacy/incognito mode to avoid analytics
- Install browser extensions to block Google Analytics
- Clear localStorage to delete your game save
- Request data deletion by contacting us
Children's Privacy
MultiPirates does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The game contains no account creation, chat, or social features that would collect personal information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
