BEHIND THE PULSE

Your privacy, in plain English.

What this service needs to work and the choices you have.

Effective October 23, 2026.

Data we use.

Google sign-in provides an account identifier, display name, email address, and verification state through Firebase Authentication. We store your discussions, replies, votes, reports, and submission timestamps in Cloud Firestore. Bookmarked games are stored locally in your browser on this device.

What is public.

Approved discussions and replies show the author’s display name and submitted text. They can be indexed by search engines and referenced by AI search tools. Your account email is not published. Do not post information you want to keep private.

Infrastructure and retention.

Firebase Hosting serves the website globally. The application and database use Google infrastructure in the configured US region. Server logs may contain request and security metadata. The service uses no advertising trackers. Optional upstream game and social data services receive game-search queries, not your account details.

Your controls.

You can sign out, remove local bookmarks, and request deletion of your account and submitted content from the signed-in account panel. Account deletion removes the stored profile, topics, replies, and votes associated with your identifier. Legal security records and aggregated, non-identifying counts may be retained. Search engine caches can take longer to update.

Security.

Direct client database access is denied. Public posting requires a verified identity and server validation. Moderators can review submissions and reports. Do not use the service to submit sensitive personal information.
