Privacy & Cookie Policy
Privacy Policy
One of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact us.
This Privacy Policy applies to visitors of Swing Ninja, accessible via swingninja.app. Swing Ninja shares its server and its accounts with Guess the Hex (guessthehex.com), whose own privacy policy covers that game. This policy is not applicable to any servers other than this website.
Consent
By using this website, you consent to the Privacy Policy outlined, and to its terms.
Information we collect
We restrict data collection to registered users. Players who don't log in keep their progress in their own browser's local storage; it isn't sent to us, and they don't appear on the leaderboard.
For registered users we keep their username and a one-way hash of their password (never the password itself), and their game progress: coins, suits owned and worn, best distance, best chain, total distance and games played. While a run is being played we keep the time it started, to check the distance it reaches. None of this is sensitive information.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect in order to:
- Keep a user's progress the same on every device they log in on
- Maintain the Swing Ninja leaderboard, and keep it fair

Usage Disclaimer
Swing Ninja is a game of timing and skill. Distances reach the leaderboard only from runs our server has timed, but we still need to trust you to play truthfully. Cheating damages your enjoyment of the game as well as that of others who are trying to reach the leaderboard. If any suspicious ranking on the leaderboard is detected, it will be removed and that account may be suspended.
The registration process for this game is designed to be simple and fast and we would like to keep it this way. Therefore, do not spam registering new accounts, or we will need to change the authentication method.
