Verdictris Privacy Policy

Clear rules for local saves, cloud accounts, advertising, and privacy requests.

Verdictris is a multiplayer-capable social-deduction game. This page explains what data the game stores, when third-party services are involved, how advertising cookies may work, and how to send a privacy question or account-deletion request.

Verdictris is intended for teens and adults. The game includes social deception, crime themes, simulated trials, and non-graphic violence.

What Verdictris Stores

  • Local settings, saved sessions, and notice acknowledgments are stored on the current device or browser.
  • If you sign in, Verdictris stores your email, profile data, and cloud-backed session/leaderboard data through Supabase so sign-in and sync can work across devices.
  • Match analytics count gameplay decisions and measurable outcomes. The last 256 detailed action events per match stay in the local match archive; cloud leaderboard records receive numeric summaries and score components. Public leaderboards show scores and broad strengths, without chat text, target identities, or private action history.
  • Offline play remains available if you do not want cloud-backed account features.

Permissions and Controls

  • The shipped app manifests do not request contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or precise location permissions.
  • You can sign out later to stop cloud sync on the current device.
  • Clearing app or browser storage removes the local Verdictris data stored on that device.

Retention and Deletion

  • Local data remains until you clear the app or browser storage.
  • Cloud-backed account data remains until a deletion request is processed, except where limited records must be retained for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
  • Deletion requests may require manual review and are not always instantaneous.

Advertising, Cookies, and Ad Choices

Verdictris is free and paid for by advertising. In production, Adsterra serves approved Banner units on the public homepage and reviewed editorial guides, together with one Native Banner per page, a Social Bar, a Popunder, and a footer link labelled Sponsored link that opens an Adsterra offer page. Inside the browser game, Adsterra banners appear only on screens where no match is running: the main menu and completed-match recap, the leaderboard, in-app guides, solo setup, and the multiplayer waiting room. Active matches, trials, the Outcome Feed, account screens, and policy pages carry no web advertising.

Supported Android and iPhone/iPad builds may separately use Google AdMob and its mobile identifiers. See Google's data-use information.

There is no setting that turns these ads off; they are how the game stays free. The first editorial page you open shows a short notice saying so, which you can dismiss. Adsterra and the advertisers it works with may set cookies or read device and browser data to deliver, cap, secure, and measure ads. You can still limit advertising cookies through your browser and participating vendor controls, including aboutads.info and Your Online Choices where available. For native Google services, see Google Ads Settings.

Privacy Questions and Account Deletion

Use the form below to send either a privacy question or a request to delete your Verdictris account and associated cloud-backed data. For signed-in mobile builds, the app also provides an in-app deletion request path.

Account deletion requests should use the same email address tied to your Verdictris account so we can match the request with the correct cloud profile.
