Privacy Policy
Welcome to the BUCC Promotion Trials website (accessible via our official domain). This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, storage, protection, and disclosure of information when you interact with our web arcade game, leaderboard, and related services.
Summary: We prioritize user privacy. We do not require account registration or collect sensitive personal data. We utilize standard browser local storage for offline game state and third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) that may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your web browsing history.
1. Information We Collect
We do not require you to provide government identification, passwords, phone numbers, or physical addresses. The data collected consists of:
- Player Display Names: When you initiate the Promotion Trials or submit a high score to our Hall of Fame, you provide an arcade handle or name of your choice. This name is displayed publicly on the global Top 5 Leaderboard.
- Gameplay Analytics & Scores: In-game metrics such as coins collected, stage completion times, enemies vanquished, and ranks attained.
- Browser Local Storage: High score records, volume preferences, and candidate nicknames are cached locally on your device using HTML5 LocalStorage to maintain your settings across visits.
- Server Log Files: Like most standard web servers, our host automatically collects anonymous access logs, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, referring pages, and visit timestamps.
2. Cookies and Web Beacons
Our site itself uses minimal essential browser storage. However, third-party partners and advertising networks may use cookies and web beacons to monitor traffic, analyze usage patterns, and serve relevant advertisements.
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by websites that you visit. You have the right and technical ability to decline or purge cookies at any time via your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies will not impede your ability to play the game.
3. Google AdSense & Advertising Disclosures
We partner with Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our website. As part of this integration, Google AdSense uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to your interests:
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this website.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the official Google Ads Settings page.

4. Third-Party Links & External Services
Our website may contain links to external websites, including BRAC University portals, club social media pages, and developer profiles. We have no direct control over the content, privacy practices, or policies of external sites, and we recommend inspecting the privacy policies of any third-party resource you visit.
5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
We do not knowingly collect or solicit any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. The BUCC Promotion Trials game is designed for university students, club candidates, and arcade gaming enthusiasts. If a parent or guardian believes their child has submitted personal information on our site, please contact us immediately so we can purge the record from our leaderboard database.
