Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This Privacy Policy applies to the Donut Click Showdown Chrome extension (“Extension”) and the game services it uses. By using the Extension, you agree to this policy.

1. Data we collect and use

The Extension is a clicker game with a worldwide leaderboard. To provide that service, we use the following data:

• Username – You choose a display name when you create an account. It is stored on our servers and shown on the public leaderboard.
• Country – You may select a country, or we may infer it (see “Country detection” below). It is used for country-based leaderboards and display only.
• Game data – Total clicks, best clicks-per-second (CPS), and similar in-game stats are stored and synced so your rank and progress appear on the leaderboard and can be restored on another device.
• Recovery code – A code is generated when you create an account. It is stored on our servers so you can restore your account. Keep your code private.

2. Country detection

To suggest a default country, we may use your approximate location. This can be done via:

• Header values provided by our infrastructure (e.g. country code from the network edge), or
• A request to a third-party IP-to-location service (e.g. ipapi.co) that returns only a country code.

We do not store your IP address for longer than needed to get a country code. You can change or clear your country in the Extension at any time.

3. Where data is stored

Game and account data (username, country, clicks, best CPS, recovery code) are stored on servers operated by Supabase (our backend provider). Their processing is subject to their privacy policy and terms. Data is used only to run the leaderboard, daily challenges, achievements, and account recovery.

4. Local storage

The Extension uses your browser’s local storage to keep your profile, click counts, and preferences on your device. This data is not sent to us except as part of normal sync (e.g. to update your rank on our servers).

5. What we do not do

We do not sell your data. We do not use the Extension to read your browsing history, track you across websites, or inject ads. The Extension only requests the “sidePanel” permission so the game can open in Chrome’s side panel when you click the icon.

6. Data retention

We retain your game and account data for as long as your account exists. If you want your data removed, contact us (see Contact below) and we will process your request within a reasonable time.

7. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change, and we will post the new version at this URL. Continued use of the Extension after changes means you accept the updated policy.

8. Contact
