Introduction
Tilted Games LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the website balwarte.io and the Balwarte web application (collectively, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.
Information We Collect
Account Information
When you sign in using Google OAuth, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. We use this information to create and manage your account, display your name on the leaderboard, and enable cloud save functionality.
Game Data
We store your game progress, career history, achievements, and character data. For anonymous users, game data is stored locally in your browser. For signed-in users, game data is synced to our cloud servers so you can access it across devices.
Usage Data
We collect anonymized usage analytics through Vercel Analytics to understand how players interact with the game. This includes page views, session duration, and general performance metrics. This data does not personally identify you.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the game experience
- To save and sync your game progress across devices
- To display leaderboard rankings and player achievements
- To process in-app purchases for additional game tickets
- To improve game performance and fix bugs
- To communicate important updates about the Service
Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a hosted PostgreSQL database service with row-level security policies. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe; we never store your credit card information on our servers.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google OAuth — for authentication
- Supabase — for database and user management
- Vercel — for hosting and analytics
- Stripe — for payment processing
- Groq — for AI-powered game content generation
- Google AdSense — for serving advertisements
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data. We encourage you to review their policies.
Cookies and Local Storage
We use cookies for authentication sessions and anonymous ticket tracking. We also use browser local storage to save game state for anonymous users. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings, though this will erase any unsaved game progress.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. For more information about how Google uses data from sites that use their services, please visit Google's privacy and terms page.

Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
