Privacy policy
Nyanko Network handles information about JOY ATELIER users in accordance with this policy.
Operator
This site is operated by Nyanko Network.
Information we collect and why
We handle the following information to provide the site, enable login, save game progress and results, display rankings, understand and improve usage, and prevent misuse.
Accounts and profiles
We store the name and email address supplied during registration, creation and update dates, and email verification status. For email and password registration, we store a password hash for authentication. We store session identifiers and expiry times to keep you logged in, and handle the connection’s IP address and browser information when available. When Google login is enabled, we handle your Google account identifier and authentication information. Profiles store a user identifier, display name, bio, and uploaded avatar image.
Games and rankings
Even without an account, we store your display name and a hash of the player secret generated on your device. Depending on the game, we store scores, answer results and times, personal bests, play counts, progress, earned titles, currency and cards, run start information, and received results. Multiplayer games handle rooms, participants, seats, game state such as hands, rankings, scores, and sent stickers. Rankings make display names, scores, ranks, and other performance results visible to other users.
Submissions, play counts, and administration
If you submit a game idea, we store its text, language, submission time, and a hash of the device secret to limit excessive submissions. To count plays, we store a hash of the device identifier, the game, the date, and aggregate counts. Applications for admin access store your name, email address, email verification status, user identifier, role, application status, and date. Admin action records include the operator, action, target, and date.
Information stored on your device
Browser storage records your selected language, display name, player secret, recently played games, sound settings, and a cached copy of your profile image URL and display name, among other settings. To count plays, it also records a randomly generated device identifier (atelier.device). To remember your selected language, we also use a cookie (atelier_locale) that is kept for one year. Device storage is also used to maintain your login state.
Google Analytics and cookies
This site uses Google Analytics to understand usage and improve the service. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect usage information such as pages viewed, device and browser details, and game starts and finishes. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. On supported browsers, you can also stop collection by Google Analytics using Google’s official opt-out add-on.
Third parties and external services
We use Convex and its authentication system for storage and login, Google Analytics for analytics, Google Fonts for delivering typefaces, and Cloudflare for delivering the site. Each service processes the information necessary for its function. On pages that load typefaces from Google Fonts, your IP address and browser information are sent to Google when you view them. Other users can view the performance results published in rankings as described above. Apart from these uses, we do not provide personal information to third parties without your consent, except where necessary, such as when required by law.
Policy changes
We may revise this policy in response to changes in the service or applicable laws. Revisions will be published on this page.
