Policy.

Thunderpaw Arcade ("we," "us") is a small independent studio making Bolt Brawlers, Static Dash, and the upcoming Paws of Fury: Turbo and Megawatt Rally. This policy covers our website and the games we publish.

Reach us any time at [email protected].

Only what we need to keep the games running and the lights on:

• Stuff you send us: your email and message when you contact us about press, partnerships, support, or tournaments, and any high-score screenshots or videos you choose to share.
• Website basics: standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages hit, time).
• Game data: game version, device and OS type, performance and crash info, and gameplay stats such as runs played or levels reached, depending on the game.
• Purchases: the store tells us a sale happened. Card details stay with the store.

Bolt Brawlers (PC and Switch) is built around local couch co-op. Matches happen on your device, and we don't get your players' names.

Static Dash (mobile) keeps your best runs on your device. Where an online leaderboard is offered, it uses your platform's game service (like your phone's game center account), which shows your display name and score to other players. You can opt out through that service's settings.

Paws of Fury: Turbo and Megawatt Rally are still in the lab. If they ship with online versus or new leaderboards, this level gets updated before launch.

• Run, patch, and balance our games, and tune that "one more round" feel.
• Find and squash crashes.
• Reply to you, and run tournaments or community events you enter.
• Keep the site and our games secure and stop cheating or abuse.
• Meet legal and tax obligations.

Legal basis, where it matters (EU/UK): what's needed to give you the game or service you asked for, our legitimate interest in improving and protecting it, your consent where we ask for it, and legal obligations.

We don't sell it. No pay-to-win, no data-for-cash. We share it only with:

• Our crew of service providers: hosting, email, analytics, and crash reporting. They work for us and can't use your data for their own purposes.
• Platforms and app stores that distribute our games and run their own accounts, leaderboards, and payments under their own privacy policies.
• Tournament partners, only if you enter an event and only what's needed to run it. We'll tell you up front.
• Authorities, when the law requires it.

Our website doesn't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Our games don't sell loot boxes. If we ever add ads to a mobile game, we'll say so in the store listing, ask for consent where your local law requires it, and update this policy first.

Our providers may store data in different countries, including outside where you live. When data crosses borders, we use the legal safeguards required (such as standard contractual clauses).

• Emails & tournament entries: up to 2 years after we last talk.
• Crash reports & gameplay stats: up to 12 months, then deleted or anonymised.
• Server logs: up to 30 days.
• Platform leaderboards: controlled by the platform. Delete your score through them.

Full controller in your hands. You can ask us to access, correct, delete, or export your info, object to how we use it, or withdraw consent. Residents of the EU, UK, California, and other places with privacy laws have these rights by law, including the right to complain to a regulator. We'll honour them for everyone.

Email us, we'll verify it's really you, and we'll respond within 30 days. Using your rights won't cost you anything or change how our games treat you.

Our games are made for a broad audience, but we don't knowingly collect personal information from kids under 13 (or the higher minimum age in your country). Tournaments and email contact are for older players, or need a parent or guardian involved. Parents who think their kid sent us info can email us and we'll delete it.

We use HTTPS, limit who on the team can access data, and pick reputable providers. Nothing online is 100% unbreakable, but if a breach ever affects you, we'll notify you as the law requires.

When new games launch or features change, we'll patch this page and bump the "Last updated" date. Big changes get a notice on our site.
