Privacy Policy
Map Battle is a browser-based multiplayer game. This policy explains what we process, why we process it, and the choices available to players.
Information we process
-
Device identifier: the game stores a random device ID in your browser
(
localStorage) to reconnect your profile across sessions. - Profile details: display name, progression, unlocks, and gameplay stats used to run progression and seasonal systems.
- In-session gameplay data: position and movement updates needed to show live multiplayer state.
- Operational network metadata: service metadata such as timestamps, connection events, and network identifiers (including IP address) used for reliability, abuse prevention, and rate limiting.
- Privacy-focused analytics data: first-party usage and gameplay events used to understand how players move from landing into the game and which core features they engage with.
What we do not ask for
- Real name
- Email address for gameplay access
- Payment information
- Device GPS location permissions (the map movement is game-state based)
How we use data
- Operate multiplayer sessions and save progress
- Render team and territory state in real time
- Maintain service stability, integrity, and abuse protections

We do not sell player data or use it for third-party advertising.
Analytics and cookies
Map Battle uses self-hosted, first-party analytics to measure product usage and improve the game. This analytics setup is hosted on our own infrastructure and is configured without advertising cookies.
Analytics events may include page views and low-cardinality gameplay events such as landing views, team assignment, game entry, boot completion, first paint, level-up, FTUE visibility, postmatch visibility, inventory opens, cosmetic equips, display-name changes, same-device retention buckets, coarse session-duration buckets, and normalized connection reliability events. When you choose a player display name, we may send that display name to our self-hosted analytics system as profile/session data so we can recognize the same player label across visits in analytics reports. We do not send raw profile IDs, raw device IDs, raw timestamps, or raw error strings in analytics event payloads.
These analytics are intended for audience measurement and product improvement only. They are not used for behavioral advertising or cross-site tracking.
Retention
Profile and gameplay records are retained while needed to operate Map Battle. Analytics records are retained according to our operational needs for product analysis and service improvement. We may remove stale or unused data during maintenance operations.
Your choices
You can request access to or deletion of profile data associated with your device ID by emailing contact@mapbattle.co. Include your display name and, if possible, your device ID to help locate records.
Children
Map Battle is intended for players age 13+. If you believe data from a child under 13 was submitted, contact us and we will review and remove relevant data where appropriate.
Changes
We may update this policy as the game evolves. When we do, we update the date at the top of this page.
