Privacy Policy

Vibreak is a small browser arcade you play while an AI coding task runs. It is built to be privacy-first: no accounts, no sign-ups, no ads, and no cookies. The only analytics we use is cookieless and anonymous. This page explains, in plain language, the little bit of data the site touches.

What stays on your device

These are saved in your browser's localStorage and never leave your device unless noted below. Clearing this site's data in your browser erases all of it:

• the display name you pick
• your best scores for each game
• your chosen theme and sound settings
• coins, owned items, and equipped skin
• achievements and play stats
• daily challenge progress
• a random notification token (see below)
• minor interface flags, such as whether you have hidden a panel

What the server stores

Two features send a small amount of data to our backend (hosted on Vercel, stored in an Upstash Redis database):

Global leaderboards. When a run ends, the site can submit the display name you chose plus your score so it can appear on the public leaderboard. That name is visible to anyone viewing the board, so please do not use your real name or any personal information as your display name if you would rather stay anonymous. Changing your name updates it across the leaderboards.

Task-done notifier. Your browser generates a random token and shows you a command (or a prompt for your AI) that includes it. When that endpoint is pinged with your token, only the tab holding the same token pops the "task complete" message. We store just the token, a counter, and an optional short message you send. The token is random and is not tied to your identity.

We do not sell, rent, or share this data, and we do not use it to profile you.

Third parties

• Analytics. We use DataFast, a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service, to understand basic traffic such as visit counts, which pages are viewed, and coarse referrer, country, and device type. It does not set cookies, does not track you across other sites, and processes your IP address only momentarily to count unique visits and derive rough location, without storing it. The data is aggregated and is not used to identify you. See DataFast's own privacy policy for details.
• Fonts. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address and browser information to serve them. Fonts load in the background and the site works without them.
• Hosting. The site and its endpoints run on Vercel, and leaderboard and notification data is stored in Upstash Redis. Like any web host, these providers may keep standard server logs, such as IP address and request time, for security and reliability.
• Outbound links. The footer links to Buy Me a Coffee and X. If you click them you leave this site, and those services have their own privacy policies.

What we do not do

• We do not require or collect accounts, emails, or passwords.
• We do not run ads, and we do not use advertising or cross-site tracking.
• We do not set cookies. The site uses your browser's localStorage for the preferences above, and our analytics (DataFast) is cookieless.

Your choices

• To erase everything stored locally, clear this site's data in your browser settings.
• To have a display name and its scores removed from the global leaderboard, contact us with the name.

Children

Vibreak is a general-audience game site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above will change with it. Continued use of the site means you accept the current version.
