Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Chase82 ("Chase82," "we," "us," or "our") is an independent basketball simulation game where users build all-time lineups, play different game modes, and see whether their team can chase an 82-0 season.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have when using our website, game modes, leaderboards, analytics, and related features.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only the information needed to run the site, improve the game, protect the service, and support features such as personal bests and leaderboards.
Information you provide
You may provide information when you enter a display name for a leaderboard, submit a game result, contact us by email, or send feedback, bug reports, or suggestions.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through Chase82.
Gameplay information
When you play Chase82, we may process gameplay-related data such as selected players or player versions, game mode, simulated wins, losses, scores, ranking data, lineup combinations, lineup hashes, formula version, data version, Chemistry version, and anonymous session identifiers used to support gameplay and prevent abuse.
If you submit a leaderboard entry, your display name, result, game mode, and selected lineup details may be shown publicly.
Technical information
We may automatically collect basic technical information, including IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location based on IP address, site performance, errors, and usage activity.
This information helps us keep Chase82 fast, stable, fair, and secure.
2. Cookies and Local Storage
Chase82 may use cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or similar browser technologies.
We may use them to save your personal bests on your device, remember a display name or anonymous session ID, support leaderboard submissions, improve site performance, understand general site usage, and prevent spam, abuse, or suspicious activity.
You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Some features may not work correctly if browser storage is disabled.
3. Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how people use Chase82, which pages are visited, which game modes are popular, and where technical issues occur.
Analytics may include aggregated or technical information such as page views, device type, browser type, country-level location, and gameplay activity.
We may use tools such as Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics, Cloudflare analytics, Supabase logs, or privacy-friendly analytics tools.
4. Leaderboards
If you submit a score to a Chase82 leaderboard, certain information may become public, including display name, game mode, wins, losses, ranking score, selected lineup or player names, submission time, and leaderboard position.
Do not use your real name as your display name if you do not want it to appear publicly.
We may remove leaderboard entries that appear fraudulent, abusive, spammy, offensive, or inconsistent with fair gameplay.
5. Chemistry Mode and Game Data
Chase82 may use basketball statistics, structured basketball context, and game logic to calculate Chemistry Mode results.
Public explanations may be simplified, such as strong teammate familiarity, role overlap, historic success connection, or chemistry risk.
6. How We Use Information
We use information to operate the Chase82 website and game modes, generate basketball simulation results, save personal bests and leaderboard entries, improve gameplay balance and user experience, monitor performance, fix bugs, detect cheating, prevent spam, manage security risks, understand traffic and SEO performance, respond to support requests or feedback, and comply with legal obligations.
7. Third-Party Services
Chase82 may rely on trusted third-party providers to host, secure, analyze, and operate the website.
These may include Vercel for hosting, deployment, serverless functions, and performance tools; Supabase for database, backend, authentication, and leaderboard storage; Cloudflare for DNS, security, caching, and traffic protection; GitHub for code hosting and deployment workflows; and analytics or advertising providers, if enabled.
These providers may process limited technical or usage information as needed to provide their services.
8. Advertising
Chase82 may display ads in the future to help keep the site free.
Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show, measure, or personalize ads, depending on your location, browser settings, and consent choices. If advertising is added or expanded, we may update this Privacy Policy and provide any required controls.
9. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information only when necessary to operate the website through service providers, protect Chase82, protect our users or the public, prevent fraud, cheating, abuse, or security incidents, comply with legal requests or obligations, or handle a merger, acquisition, financing, or business transfer.
10. Data Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
For example, leaderboard entries may remain available while the leaderboard is active, local personal bests remain on your device until you clear them, technical logs may be kept for security, debugging, and performance monitoring, and support emails may be kept as needed to respond and maintain records.
We may delete, anonymize, or aggregate data when it is no longer needed.
11. Your Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain uses of your personal information.
You can also clear cookies and local storage in your browser, avoid using your real name in leaderboard display names, contact us to request deletion of certain information, and use browser or device privacy settings to limit tracking.

You use Chase82 at your own risk.
