Waddlewind closed test · last updated 31 October 2026

Waddlewind is an early, closed test of an online penguin game. This page says what the game keeps about you, why, and for how long. It is run by Waddle ("we"). Questions or requests: support@waddlewindcity.fun.

The short version

• Under 13, the game stays offline. Nothing about you leaves your device.
• From 13, you play online as a guest: no name, email or password.
• We keep only what the game needs and what keeps players safe: a guest account with its coins, items, house and quest progress, 30 days of Quick Phrases and reports, and bans.
• No ads, no tracking, no selling data, no payments.

On your device

• Your birth month and year, which the game asks the first time you play. They never leave your device.
• Your settings, what your penguin wears, and for online play a random device ID that signs you in as a guest.
• When you play offline (under 13, or a game without our servers): your coins, the items and furniture you own, how your house is furnished and your quest progress.

They are stored in your browser, or in the game's folder on a computer. Clearing your browser data removes them.

When you play online (13 and over)

• Guest account: our account server (Nakama, which we run ourselves) keeps an account ID for your device ID. No name, email or other contact details.
• In the room: a generated guest name like "Guest 1234", where your penguin is, how it moves and what it wears. Players in the room see this while you play. It is not stored after you leave.
• Coins, items, house and quests: your coins, with a record of each change (what you bought, or which quest, rink run or lantern lighting paid it), the items and furniture you own, how your house is furnished, your quest progress, which of the crew you have said hi to, which places of the City tour you have visited, which of Captain Neo's lost charts you have found, your best target slide of the day, and your rink, lantern and slide coins for the day. The room server checks greetings, rink times, visits, lanterns, charts and slides from where your penguin is before they count. All of this is kept with your guest account until you delete it.
• Quick Phrases log: what you say from the phrase list, with your guest name and session number, kept for 30 days so we can look into problems.
• Reports: when you report someone or someone reports you, we keep both account IDs and guest names, the reason, and the last ten Quick Phrases of the reported player, for 30 days.
• Bans: if we ban an account from online play, we keep its account ID, guest name, the reason and the end date until the ban ends.

Your connection

To send you the game, our server and our network provider see your IP address and basic connection details. Our game servers don't keep them in their logs. Cloudflare, our network provider, processes them to deliver the site and protect it from attacks, under its own privacy policy.

Who else handles data

• Hostinger rents us the server in Singapore that runs the game, the room and the account server.
• Cloudflare carries the traffic between you and that server.

We don't sell your data or share it with anyone else. We use no analytics, advertising or tracking services.

Why we use it

For players in the EU and the UK, the legal bases are:

• running the online game you asked to play (performance of a contract);
• keeping players safe and enforcing the Terms (legitimate interests).

Your choices

• Delete my online data: in the game, Menu > Privacy & data > Delete my online data deletes your guest account on our server right away, with its coins, items, house and quest progress. Logs and reports that mention it are deleted within 30 days.
• Ask us: write to support@waddlewindcity.fun to see what we keep about you, correct it, delete it, or object to how we use it. Tell us your guest name and roughly when you played.
• You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.

Children

Online play is only for players aged 13 and over. If you are under 13, the game stays offline. If we learn that data from a child under 13 reached our servers, we delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, we update the date at the top. For bigger changes we also tell players in the game.
