It is available as a virtual reality app for Meta Quest headsets and as a web version played in a browser at https://the-pissing-game.ptrvr.com. This notice explains what information each version handles, where it is kept and how to ask us to delete it.
This notice is a product supplement to the People Tech Revolution Privacy Policy. That policy applies to The Pissing Game except where this notice says something different. Where the two conflict, this notice controls for The Pissing Game.

| Information sent to us | None. The app only reads the public leaderboard. | Your game profile, your scores if you are signed in, and anonymous daily usage counts. |

The app has no account and no sign-in. It does not ask for your name, email address, Meta username or Meta account identifier, and it does not use Meta platform features that read your Meta profile or friends.
The app keeps a small amount of information in its own storage on your headset. It keeps the two letters you choose as your initials for the snow signature. It keeps your personal records for each level and difficulty, such as rounds played, best score, aim, streak, coverage and precision. It also keeps whether you have seen the tutorial, and your haptic strength and sky motion comfort settings.
This information stays on your headset. The app does not send it to us and we cannot see it. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes it.
The app's only network use is to read the public leaderboard. It sends an encrypted request to our cloud database in Australia asking for the top scores for the level and ranking you are viewing. The request carries no account, name, initials or device identifier, and the app does not sign in to the database.
The app does not upload your scores, initials or any other information. As with any internet request, our cloud provider receives your device's IP address and basic request details in order to answer the request.
The leaderboard you see shows the usernames, avatars, leaderboard categories and scores that signed-in players of the web version have published. See section 4.
The share button copies a short plain-text summary of your round to the headset's clipboard. The app does not post it anywhere. What happens next is up to you.
The app contains no advertising. It does not use an analytics, crash reporting or performance reporting service.
If you play as a guest, our authentication provider creates an anonymous identifier for your session. Your guest game profile may be saved to our cloud database against that anonymous identifier. A guest profile does not contain an email address. Guest scores are not added to the public leaderboard.
You can sign in with an email address and password, or with a Google account. Our authentication provider stores your email address, your sign-in method and the records needed to keep you signed in. If you use a Google account, Google shares your email address and basic account details with our authentication provider so that you can sign in. We never see your Google password.
Your game profile is stored in our cloud database. It contains your email address (for accounts), a display name you may enter, your username, your avatar choices, the leaderboard category you choose, your selected rocket, your best results and the number of rounds you have played, with the times it was created and updated. The database rules allow only your own signed-in session to read or change your profile.
The username is generated for you and you can edit it. The leaderboard category is chosen by you. The options are Man, Woman, Alien, Chaos Entity and Prefer not to say.
When you finish a round while signed in to an account, a score entry is published to the public leaderboard. It contains your username, your avatar choices, your leaderboard category, the level and difficulty, your rocket, your score and round statistics, your grade, the round length, the time of the round and an internal account identifier. It does not contain your email address or display name.
The leaderboard can be read by anyone, including players of the Meta Quest app. A score entry cannot be changed or removed from within the game. Contact us to have one removed (see section 8).
Camera play is optional. If you choose it, your browser asks for permission to use your camera. The video is processed inside your browser, on your device, to detect hand and body position. The software that does this is served from our own website. Video frames are not recorded, stored or sent to us. The web version does not use your microphone.
The web version adds one to a set of daily counters when certain things happen, such as a visit, a new or returning visitor, a round started or completed on a level, the camera being allowed or refused, the share sheet being opened, a round played on a phone or a computer, and a round played signed in or as a guest. Only these totals are stored. They are stored in our cloud database and can be read only by authorised PTR staff.
To tell a new visitor from a returning one, the web version keeps a random device identifier in your browser's local storage. That identifier is never sent to us.
The web version keeps the random device identifier described above, whether you have seen the tutorial and your input preference in your browser's local storage. Our authentication provider keeps your sign-in session in your browser's storage. The web version does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Clearing your browser's site data removes this information.
The web version loads its typefaces from a third-party web font service, which receives your IP address and browser details when the fonts load. Our hosting provider serves the website and processes request details, such as your IP address, to deliver pages and protect the service.
| Information | Where it is kept |
|---|---|
| Quest app settings, initials and records | On your headset only |
| Web game profiles, leaderboard scores and anonymous usage counts | Our cloud database in Australia (Sydney region) |
| Web sign-in records | Our authentication provider, which may process them outside Australia |
| Font and website request details | Our web font service and hosting provider, which may process them outside Australia |
The categories of provider we use and where they may process information are listed in Subprocessors and Data Locations. That register describes provider categories rather than naming individual companies.
We use this information to run the game, show the leaderboard, keep your profile and sign-in working, understand overall use of the web version through the anonymous counts, and keep the service secure.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
The Meta Quest app is distributed through the Meta Horizon Store and runs on Meta Quest headsets. Meta may collect information about your device, your account and your use of the store and headset under its own privacy policy. This notice does not cover information collected by Meta. The Meta Quest app does not send any information to us.
To ask for access to, correction of or deletion of your account, game profile or leaderboard scores, email privacy@peopletechrevolution.com. We may need to verify that the request comes from the account holder.
The Pissing Game contains toilet humour. The Meta Quest app is published in the Meta Horizon Store for teens and adults. The game is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information through the web version, contact us and we will delete it.
All network traffic is encrypted. The Meta Quest app refuses unencrypted connections and trusts only the headset's system certificates. The web version's database rules let only your own session read or change your profile, and do not let anyone change or delete a published score from the game. No system can guarantee absolute security.
The version number and effective date identify this notice. If we change what the game collects or how it is used, we will publish a new version here.
