Privacy Policy
The Short Version
Pixel Arcade does not collect your personal data, does not use tracking or advertising cookies, and does not share any information with third parties. Your high scores are stored only in your own browser's local storage and never sent to us.
1. Introduction
Pixel Arcade ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information if any â we collect when you visit uploadspay.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. This policy complies with applicable data protection laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
By using our website, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our website.
2. What Data We Collect
We take a minimal-data approach. Here is a clear breakdown of what we do and do not collect:
| Data Type | Collected? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Name or email address | No | We do not require accounts or registration |
| IP address | No | We do not log visitor IP addresses |

| Advertising data | No | We display no ads and collect no advertising data |
3. Local Storage (Game Scores)
To provide a better gaming experience, some games on Pixel Arcade save your high score using your browser's local storage feature. This is a standard browser technology that stores small amounts of data on your own device â similar to a cookie but never transmitted to any server.
Specifically, local storage is used to save:
- Your best score in Snake
- Your best score in Snake Runner
- Your best score in Fruit Catcher
- Your best completion time in Memory Match
- Your best score in Brick Breaker
This data remains on your device only. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings (Settings â Privacy â Clear Browsing Data â Cached images and files / Local storage).
4. Contact Form
If you choose to use the contact form on our Contact page, the information you provide (name, email, and message) is sent directly to our email address using your device's default mail application via a mailto: link. We do not store this data on any server. The information you submit is used only to respond to your enquiry.
We will never sell, share, or use your contact details for any purpose other than responding to your message.
5. Third-Party Services
Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts to load the typefaces used across our website. When your browser loads a page, it may make a request to Google's servers to download the font files. Google's privacy policy applies to this data transfer. You can view Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
All other resources (CSS, JavaScript, game logic) are served directly from our own server â no CDN, no external script sources.
6. Children's Privacy
Pixel Arcade is designed to be family-friendly and suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since we collect no personal data from any users, this commitment extends to all visitors regardless of age.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information to us via our contact form, please contact us and we will take immediate steps to remove that information.
7. Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights regarding any personal data we may hold (note: since we collect no personal data, these rights apply primarily to data you have voluntarily submitted via the contact form):
- Right of Access â You may request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.

- Right to Erasure You may request deletion of your personal data.

8. Data Security
Since we collect no personal data on our servers, there is no stored personal data for a breach to expose. Game scores stored in your browser's local storage are protected by standard browser security â they can only be accessed by pages on the same domain.
