🌶️ Privacy

Pepper Panic is a free browser game. We keep this short because we store very little.

What we store

• If you create an account (to save to the cloud and join the leaderboards): the chef name and username you pick, your password — stored only as a salted hash, never in plain text — an optional email address (only if you choose to add one, used solely to reset a forgotten password), your gameplay statistics (heat, bottles, clicks, and similar numbers), and a cloud copy of your game save. Playing is instant and an account is optional; we never ask for your real name.
• In your browser: game saves and settings live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device unless you join the leaderboards.
• Server logs: like nearly every website, our server logs requests including IP addresses for security and abuse prevention. Logs rotate automatically and are not shared with anyone.

What we don't do

• No advertising, no ad networks, no third-party trackers, no analytics scripts in your browser.
• No selling or sharing of data. There is nothing worth selling — we don't know who you are.
• No cookies beyond what the game itself needs (we don't use cookies at all; saves use local storage).

Deleting your data

In the game, open 🌐 Account → 🗑️ Delete account. This immediately and permanently erases your name, statistics, leaderboard entries, and cloud save from our server. Local saves in your own browser are yours — clear them via your browser's site-data settings if you wish.

Data requests

Everything we hold is self-service: manage or permanently erase your account any time from 🌐 Account in the game (see “Deleting your data” above) — no email or request form needed.
