Privacy Policy
Effective September 1st, 2026 · The Lydian Gambit
1. The short version
We run a game, not a data business. No account creation, no email signup, no tracking pixels, no advertising, no sale of data. What we hold is the minimum a competitive on-chain game needs to function.
2. What we process
- Wallet address — public by nature, used to verify your entry fee and deliver prizes. We never see your keys.
- Pseudonym and player identifier — chosen by you or generated in your browser, used for matchmaking, the Elo ladder and milestones.
- Match data — moves, clocks and results. Replays of finished matches are public and permanent by design, published under your pseudonym.
- On-chain transactions — entry fees, escrows, prizes and burns are public records of the XRP Ledger, visible to anyone, forever. That transparency is a feature of the service.
- Technical logs — standard server logs (IP address, timestamps) kept briefly for security and abuse prevention.
3. What stays in your browser
Your language choice, interface preferences and session token live in your browser's local storage. They never leave your device except to resume your session.
4. What we don't do
- No analytics trackers, no fingerprinting, no third-party advertising.
- No linking of wallet addresses to real-world identities.
- No sharing or selling of any data to anyone, ever.
5. Third parties
Connecting a wallet uses that wallet's own service (for example Xaman), under its own privacy policy. The XRP Ledger is a public network operated by no one and everyone; nothing written to it can be edited or erased by us.
6. Retention and your rights
Ladder entries and replays are kept as the permanent history of the game. Technical logs are short-lived. You may stop using the service at any time; you can also ask us to rename or detach your pseudonym from the ladder — on-chain records, by nature, cannot be altered. Write to timefrags2@gmail.com.
7. Changes
