TWGAMING

Privacy Policy & Terms

Last updated: November 14, 2026

The short version

1. Who we are

TWGaming ("we", "us") runs twgaming.win and the browser games on it, currently PopDuels (popduels.twgaming.win) and Boat Blasters (boatblasters.twgaming.win). This policy covers all of them. Questions go to admin@twgaming.win.

2. What we collect

If you sign in with Discord

We receive and store your Discord user ID, display name and avatar link. We ask Discord only for the "identify" permission, so we never see your email address, messages, servers or friends list. We also store your progress in each game: rating, wins and losses, win streak, coins, unlocked cosmetics and daily progress.

Detailed records of individual matches (game, result, placements, duration) are deleted automatically after about 3 days. Your overall stats remain until you ask us to delete your account.

If you play as a guest

We don't create an account. The server gives you a random temporary ID for the session, and the name you type is shown to other players during a match but is not saved to our database. Some progress, such as PopDuels coins or your Boat Blasters captain name, is kept only in your own browser's local storage.

Technical data

When you connect, your IP address and basic browser information are processed to run the service, to prevent abuse (for example rate limits and connection limits), and to fix problems. This appears in server logs, which we keep only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.

Gameplay data

In Boat Blasters, boards and moves are processed on our game server while a match is running and are not stored afterwards. PopDuels sends board updates directly between players using WebRTC; this means your opponent's device can see your IP address as part of the connection. When a direct connection isn't possible, traffic goes through our relay server.

3. Cookies & local storage

These are needed for the games to work. We do not currently use analytics cookies. Advertising providers may set their own cookies; see below.

4. Advertising

We use Google AdSense on some pages. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar identifiers to show and measure ads, which may be personalized. You can learn more at how Google uses data from sites that use its services and opt out of personalized ads in Google Ads Settings. If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you can manage your ad choices through any consent prompt we display and through Google's settings.

5. Services we use

These providers process data under their own privacy policies. They may process data outside your country.

6. How we use data

To run the games, keep accounts and leaderboards working, match you with other players, detect cheating and abuse, secure our services, answer support requests, and show ads. We do not sell your account data.

What others can see: leaderboards show your display name, avatar, rating and win/loss record to anyone. Other players in a match see your display name and rating.

Payments: there are no paid features. Coins are earned only by playing. If we add paid options, we will use a third-party payment processor, will never store your card details, and will update this policy first.

Security: connections use HTTPS, sign-in cookies are signed and HTTP-only, and access to our server is restricted. No online service can be guaranteed 100% secure.

7. Retention & deletion

We keep your account and game stats while your account exists. To delete them, email admin@twgaming.win with your Discord username, and we will delete your account and stats within 30 days. Signing out removes the sign-in cookie, and clearing your browser data removes local storage.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the use of your personal data, to receive a copy of it, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Contact us to use these rights and we will respond within the time required by law.

9. Children

Our games are not directed at children under 13, and Discord requires users to be at least 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below that age. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Terms of use

11. Changes to this page

If we change how we handle data, for example by adding analytics or paid features, we will update this page and its date before the change takes effect.
