Privacy and Data Handling in the Deadline Ceiling Demo

Local Storage Observations

The game source explicitly uses localStorage to store the settled balance and fractional carry. This local storage persists through settlement, manual refill, and page reloads, allowing the balance to remain consistent across sessions without an account.

• Settled Balance: Stored locally, including zero balances.
• Fractional Carry: Persists through settlement, manual refill, and reload.
• Scope Limit: Using localStorage for these values does not establish anonymity. It also does not exclude other data processing that may occur via cookies, server logs, or third-party scripts not captured in this limited view.

Clearing cached files may leave local storage intact depending on browser settings, but this is a local browser behaviour, not a guarantee of global data deletion.

Network and Font Requests

The template declares a Google Fonts stylesheet. The browser may request third-party font resources; the declaration alone is not a capture of actual requests. A full network capture remains pending, so other requests and processing have not been established.

Identity and Account Flow

The demo operates without a standard account login flow or payment cashier.

• Demo Account Flow: None. There is no sign-up, login, or profile management.
• Demo Payment Flow: None. Virtual coins have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn.

The absence of these flows in the demo does not prove that an outside platform does not use or sell personal data. It only confirms that this specific demo instance does not require them for operation.

Wallet and Balance Persistence

The wallet state is managed locally. The initial balance is set to 1000 virtual coins. If the balance drops below 10 while idle, a manual refill restores it to exactly 1000, preserving any fractional change.

• Restoration: Manual set when idle and balance < 10.
• Unfinished Rounds: If a round is unfinished during a reload, it ends without refund or resume capability.
• Busy Controls: Stake, mode, and refill are locked during active play. Sound remains available.

Audience and Responsible Use

The intended audience for this guide is 18+. This is a policy guideline for this guide and not necessarily a universal legal age or an implemented age gate within the demo.

Responsible use involves managing your time and virtual coin usage. The demo does not clinically train behaviour or make losses safe. There are no built-in self-exclusion tools, timers, or blocking mechanisms in this demo interface. Users should find appropriate local qualified help if needed.

Summary of Privacy Scope

The confirmed source facts are localStorage use for settled balance and fractional carry, and a Google Fonts stylesheet declaration. They do not establish exclusive local processing, anonymity, absence of tracking or server retention periods.
