Privacy Policy

MoonLanderGame.com is an independent game website created by Greg Harris.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected and used when you visit the site, play the game, or register for optional features such as a leaderboard.

Information We Collect

1. Information you choose to provide

You can play the game without creating an account.

If you choose to register for a leaderboard account or contact us, we may collect information such as:

• your chosen display name or username
• your email address (registration will require a valid email address)
• your password in protected form (not stored as plain text, stored as a secure hashed value)
• any messages or enquiries you send to us

2. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, the site and the services used to operate it may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit or use the game.

This may include:

• IP address
• browser type
• device type
• operating system
• pages viewed
• date and time of visits
• referring page
• cookie identifiers or similar technical identifiers

We intend to track game performance statistics so that the game can improve over time and so that players can compare results in a meaningful way.

These statistics may include things such as:

• final score
• whether the landing was successful or a crash
• fuel remaining
• vertical and horizontal speed at landing or crash
• landing angle
• time taken
• number of attempts
• other gameplay measurements relevant to scoring, analysis, or balancing the game

Some of this information may be stored in a way that is not directly linked to your real identity. If you register for a leaderboard account, game statistics may be linked to that account.

We may also use grouped or aggregated score data to produce charts and summaries, including score distributions and histograms that show how players are performing overall.

If you choose to register for the leaderboard, some information will be public by design.

This may include:

• your chosen display name
• your score or top scores
• your ranking position
• basic game statistics connected with your score
• your position within charts or score histograms

Please choose your display name carefully. If you use your real world name as your display name, that name may become visible to other visitors as part of the leaderboard.

As the developer of MoonLanderGame.com, I will use my real name (Greg Harris), I expect that most others will not.

We do not intend to display private contact details such as your email address on the public leaderboard.

It costs some real money to run MoonLanderGame.com. To recover a percentage of the costs, the site may display advertisements supplied by our advertising partners.

I will do my absolute best to keep MoonLanderGame.com uncluttered by advertisements. The website has multiple pages, my initial intention is to only allow advertisements on the landing and about pages, and to limit the number of ads shown at any one time. The game page will remain free of advertisments.

Please, if you see an advertisement of a product or service that appeals to you, click on it. A small amount of the revenue from that click will help to keep the site running and free to play for everyone.

Advertising providers may collect or receive information from your browser or device in order to show, measure, and improve their advertisements. This may include cookies, similar technologies, IP address, browser information, and information about pages viewed.

Some advertisements may be personalised based on previous visits to this site or other sites. Where required by law or advertising platform rules, consent options will be provided to users.

The site may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for purposes such as:

• keeping the site working properly
• remembering settings or preferences
• saving game-related state where appropriate
• supporting leaderboard login
• measuring game and site performance
• serving and measuring advertisements
• fraud prevention and security

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable some cookies or related technologies, parts of the site may not work as intended.

Information collected through the site may be used to:

• operate and maintain the website
• run the game and improve gameplay
• save scores and performance history
• create rankings, charts, histograms, and leaderboard views
• help prevent cheating, abuse, or technical misuse
• respond to messages or enquiries
• show and measure advertising
• keep the site secure and diagnose technical issues
• comply with legal obligations

Sharing of Information

We do not intend to sell your personal information.

However, information may be processed by service providers who help us operate the site, such as hosting, security, database, analytics, login, and advertising providers.

Public leaderboard information, by its nature, may be visible to other users of the site.

Your Choices

You can choose whether or not to register for the leaderboard.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not function correctly if you disable them.

If you register for the leaderboard and later want your account or public leaderboard entry removed, please contact us and we will consider the request in line with how the system is operating at the time.

MoonLanderGame.com is intended as a general audience website. It is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children inappropriately.

If we become aware that personal information has been provided in a way that should not have happened, we will take reasonable steps to deal with it.

This Privacy Policy may change over time as the site changes.

For example, this policy may need to be updated when we add:

• new game features
• new leaderboard features
• new tracking or analytics tools
• new account features
• new advertising arrangements
• new community or social features

When that happens, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised last updated date.
