Privacy policy

Privacy at a glance

• Your wallet is your sign-in: we store its address and read public blockchain data about it to count your $3PLACE. We do not show your address to other players.
• Glowing blocks show you hold: only players whose $3PLACE counts can paint glowing blocks, so anyone who sees yours knows you hold some. Beacons show you hold at least 1,000,000, and prisms and auroras at least 10,000,000. Someone comparing that with the public blockchain might guess which wallet is yours.
• Public and lasting: blocks you place or break are public with their exact coordinates on Mars, time, and your handle, and their edit history is kept for the life of 3place.lol. Your handle and points can appear on public leaderboards, and your alliance's name on the alliance leaderboards.
• No money: 3place.lol sells nothing and never receives payment details. Donations go straight to a blockchain address.
• No data sales or behavioral ads: we do not sell your information or use behavioral advertising.

Information we collect

Your wallet and account

• To sign you in, we ask your wallet to sign a message. We keep that message and your wallet address for up to 10 minutes, until the signature is checked, and then delete them. We never receive your wallet's keys or recovery phrase.
• Your account stores your wallet address, handle, paint bar, account and activity times, and account or moderation status.
• To know whether you may paint glowing blocks, beacons, prisms, and auroras and build from files, we read from the Solana blockchain how much $3PLACE your wallet holds and how long it has held it, and we store the balance, the coins that count, and when we read them. We read it while you play, and while it counts any $3PLACE, about once an hour while you are away, so what you may do follows what it holds now. The blockchain already makes this information public.
• We store where your astronaut last was on Mars, so you return there.

Builds from files

• When you build from a picture or 3D model, your browser turns it into blocks. We keep those blocks, their colors, and the build's name on your account, with where each of your builds stands, so they are there when you come back. The file itself never leaves your device.
• Your builds are private until you share one. Sharing a build lets anyone with its link see its design, where it stands, and your handle, and it stays that way after you remove the build from your list.

Alliances

• When you start or join an alliance, we store its name and code, who started it, who is in it, when each member joined and left, and how many blocks each member places each day while in it.
• Members see the alliance's code and each other's handles and points this week. Anyone can see each alliance's name and its members' points added up on today's, this week's, and this season's alliance leaderboards, and you also see your own alliance's place.

Public gameplay

• Placements, breaks, and erases include exact coordinates on Mars, color, time, and author, and can be public with your handle. When someone breaks or erases blocks you placed, we tell you their handle and how many blocks.
• Glowing blocks, beacons, prisms, and auroras are public like any other, with their color, so anyone can see that whoever placed them holds $3PLACE that counts: some for glowing blocks, at least 1,000,000 for beacons, and at least 10,000,000 for prisms and auroras. They never show your wallet address or exactly how much you hold.
• Each of your blocks still standing earns you points. We store, for each day, how many of your blocks still stand and when they were placed, and what your blocks earned in craters. Anyone can see today's, this week's, and this season's leaderboards, which show the top places' handles and points, and you also see your own place. When a season ends, its final top places are kept with their handles and points.
• Public player profiles show your handle, join date, painting totals and progress, and blocks still standing.
• Nearby players receive your astronaut's position, viewing direction, the block you aim at, and your handle while you are connected.
• Reports can include the people, alliances, or blocks involved, coordinates, evidence, and what the reporter writes, and are kept with moderation records.
• 3place.lol's game offers no profile pictures, custom avatars, emotes, or saved places.

Technical information

• We process IP address, request and connection metadata, device information, and security signals. When you connect while signed in, we record your account, IP address, and the day for moderation. Moderators can use these records for 30 days to investigate abuse, and may pause painting from one address for up to 24 hours.

How we use information

• Run accounts, the shared planet, presence, points and leaderboards, alliances, glowing blocks, beacons, prisms and auroras, break alerts, and builds from files.
• Enforce the rules, prevent abuse, secure the service, and comply with law.

Where required, our legal bases are performing our agreement with you, complying with law, and our legitimate interests in running and protecting 3place.lol.

How we disclose information

• Other people receive public blocks and their history, leaderboards, profiles, presence, and builds you share, and your alliance's members receive your handle and points, as described above.
• Service providers process information for us: Railway and its infrastructure providers host 3place.lol, and a Solana network provider answers our balance reads, which include your wallet address. Your wallet app handles signing under its own privacy policy.
• Legal and safety disclosures may occur when reasonably necessary for law or legal process, security investigations, or protecting people or 3place.

We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use third-party advertising pixels.

Cookies and browser storage

A necessary first-party cookie keeps you signed in, for up to 90 days. Browser storage holds your settings, such as sound and mouse sensitivity, and whether you have flown yet. Signing in through the Phantom app from a phone's browser, it also holds a one-time key, and the wallet address and session the app sends back, until the sign-in finishes; they stop working after 15 minutes. Browser controls can clear it.

Retention

• Account information, wallet balance records, and your astronaut's last position are kept while the account exists. Live presence is removed when you leave.
• Your builds stay on your account until you remove them. A removed build leaves your list, and a private one's design leaves with it, but their records are kept as history.
• Current blocks remain until painted over, broken, erased, or removed by moderation. Edit history, points records, final season leaderboards, reports, and moderation records are kept for the life of 3place.lol.
• Alliances and who was in them when are kept for the life of 3place.lol. Leaving takes you off an alliance's members, and an alliance stays after its last member leaves.
• Moderation IP records leave lookups after 30 days. Security, diagnostic, and operational logs are kept as reasonably needed.
• Deleted data may remain in backups for up to 89 days, unless a legal hold requires longer.

Your choices and rights

• You can sign out and clear browser data.
• To keep what you hold out of the game, sign in with a wallet that holds no $3PLACE, or paint no glowing blocks, beacons, prisms, or auroras.
• You may ask to access, correct, export, or delete personal information by contacting us below. Public block history may be kept or de-identified; we will explain any exception.
• You may complain to your privacy authority.

International processing

We are based in the United States. Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate.

Age

3place.lol is for people 18 and older. If you believe someone younger signed in, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Security

We use technical and organizational safeguards, but no service can guarantee perfect security.

Changes to this policy

We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when a policy change is material.
