Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you play Pull a Sword (the “Game”), how it is used, and how you can contact us. The Game is distributed on the Poki platform.
1. Who we are
The Game and its optional game backend (leaderboard / seasons / server time) are operated by the developer of Pull a Sword.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you play, we may process:
- Display name — the nickname you enter for PvP / leaderboard features.
- Game identifiers — a randomly generated device/player ID stored locally in the browser (not an email or real-world identity).
- PvP / leaderboard stats — wins, losses, trophies/score, selected cosmetic skin id, and related season data.
- Technical request data — standard server logs that may include IP address, browser user-agent, timestamps, and request paths when calling our backend.
- Local game progress — saved in browser local storage / platform save systems so your progress persists between sessions.
We do not ask for your real name, email address, phone number, postal address, government ID, or payment card details through the Game backend.
3. Why we use this information
- Provide core Game features and save progress.
- Operate PvP seasons, energy/timers, rewards, and leaderboards.
- Show your display name and stats to other players on leaderboards where applicable.
- Maintain, secure, and improve the Game and backend (anti-abuse, debugging, reliability).
4. Our backend (external server)
When PvP / leaderboard / season features are used, the Game may send requests to our server at
https://pullaswords.com (including paths such as
/leaderboard_pullasword/ and /TimeServer/).
That server stores leaderboard-related records (display name, player id, scores, skin id, season stats) and provides server time for timers. Data is used only for Game functionality described in this policy.
5. Platform and third parties
The Game runs on Poki. Poki may collect and process data according to its own Privacy Policy (available on the Poki website / Privacy Center). We do not control Poki’s independent data practices.
In-game purchases or ads, if any, are handled by the hosting platform and their payment/ad partners — not by our Pull a Sword backend.
6. Leaderboards and public visibility
If you use leaderboards or related social features, your display name and game statistics may be visible to other players. Do not put personal information in your nickname.
7. Children’s privacy
The Game is intended for a general audience on Poki. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for identification purposes. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
8. Data retention
- Local progress remains in your browser / platform save until you clear site data or reset progress.
- Leaderboard and season records are kept while needed to operate seasons and rankings, and may be removed or reset when seasons end or when reasonably requested.
- Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and operations.
9. Your rights
Depending on your location (including GDPR/CCPA where applicable), you may request access, correction, or deletion of data we hold about you related to the Game backend. Contact: denis.khalipov@gmail.com. Please include your in-game display name and, if known, your player/device id.
We do not sell personal information.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical measures (including HTTPS) to protect data in transit and on the server. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
11. International transfers
Our servers may be located in a different country than yours. By using backend features, you understand that data may be processed in the country where the server is hosted.
12. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above will change when we do. Continued use of the Game after an update means you accept the revised policy.
