Privacy Policy
Effective date: 11 November 2026
1. Who we are
Mumbai Traffic Escape ("the game", "we") is a free browser game at mumbaitraffic.com, run by Captain Guap.
This policy explains what the game collects when you play, why, and what you can do about it. You can play as a guest without giving us your name, email or phone number.
Contact and grievance officer: Captain Guap, ogcaptainguap@gmail.com. We reply to privacy requests within 7 days and resolve them within 30 days.
2. What we collect
We collect only what the game needs to save progress and run the leaderboard. We do not ask for your real name, email, phone, contacts, photos or location.
| What | When | Stored where | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Random device ID and secret key | First time you play | Your browser, and our server once you post a score | Until you clear browser data or ask us to delete it |
| Game progress (coins, outfits, trips, settings) | While you play | Your browser only, unless you make an account | Until you clear browser data |
| Leaderboard entry: the name you choose, best score, area, character | When you post a score | Our server | Until you or we remove it |
| Account: username, password (stored scrambled, never readable), saved progress, sign-up and last login dates, and the date you agreed to these terms | Only if you make an account | Our server | Until you delete the account |
| Login token (lets you stay logged in) | When you log in | Your browser, and a scrambled copy on our server | Up to 365 days, or until you log out |
| Usage counts: visits, runs per game mode, tutorial and share-button taps, phone or computer, the website that sent you (e.g. whatsapp) | While you play | Our server, as daily totals plus the random device ID per day | Up to 400 days |
| Network address, scrambled, to stop spam | When you post a score, log in or play | Our server | About 1 day |
| Server logs: IP address, browser type, pages requested | Every visit | Our hosting provider | As per GoDaddy's policy |
What stays on your device: share cards and replay clips are made inside your browser. They are never uploaded to us. They leave your device only if you share or save them yourself.
3. Why we use it
We use your data only to run the game, and only with your consent, which you give by playing, posting a score or making an account.
- Save your progress on your device, or on our server if you have an account, so you can play on any phone or computer.
- Run the global leaderboard: show your chosen name and best score, and stop others from changing your score.
- Keep the game fair and working: block spam, cheating and repeated login guessing.
- Improve the game: daily totals tell us how many people play, which modes they like and where they found us. We never look at what one person did.
We do not use your data to train AI or for any purpose not listed here. You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account and clearing the game's data in your browser.
4. Who we share it with
We never sell or rent your data. Only these parties ever handle it:
- Everyone who plays: your leaderboard name, best score and area are public on the global leaderboard. Pick a name that does not reveal who you are.
- GoDaddy, our hosting provider, stores the game and its database on its servers and keeps standard server logs.
- WhatsApp, Instagram and other apps you share to: when you tap a share button, your phone hands the card, clip or text to that app. Their own privacy policies then apply.
- Authorities: only when Indian law requires it, for example a valid court or police order.
The game's fonts and 3D engine are served from our own site, so playing does not send your data to Google or any other third party.
5. How long we keep it and how we protect it
We keep data only as long as the game needs it, and delete it when you ask or when its purpose ends.
- Inactive accounts: if an account has no login for 3 years, we will show a notice when you next open the game, wait at least 30 days, and then delete the account and its scores. We have no email address to warn you with.
- Usage counts are deleted after 400 days. Spam-protection records are deleted after about 1 day.
- Security: the site uses HTTPS. Passwords are stored with bcrypt hashing, so nobody, including us, can read them. Login tokens are stored scrambled. Only the game owner can open the database and the stats page, which is password protected.
- If a breach happens: we will post a notice in the game and on mumbaitraffic.com without delay, saying what happened and what you should do, such as changing your password, and we will report it to the Data Protection Board of India as the law requires.
6. Your rights
You can see, correct or delete your data at any time, and complain if we get it wrong.
| You want to | How |
|---|---|
| Change your leaderboard name | Leaders → "Your name on the board" → Save |
| Delete your account and its board entry | Leaders → Delete my account (asks for your password) |
| Delete guest progress on a device | Clear this site's data in your browser settings |
| Remove a guest score, get a copy of your data, or fix something | Email ogcaptainguap@gmail.com with your board name and roughly when you played |
| Reset a forgotten password | Email ogcaptainguap@gmail.com with your username |
| Complain | Email our grievance officer (section 1). If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India |
You may also name someone to exercise these rights for you if you die or cannot act yourself. Email us to set this up.
7. Children
Anyone can play as a guest, but accounts are only for players aged 18 or over, or younger players whose parent or guardian agrees. Indian law treats everyone under 18 as a child.
- When making an account, you confirm that you are 18+ or that a parent or guardian has agreed.
- We do not track children, show them ads, or build profiles of them.
- A parent or guardian can ask us to delete a child's account or score by emailing ogcaptainguap@gmail.com.
8. Cookies, browser storage and changes
The game uses no tracking or advertising cookies. It uses your browser's local storage, which stays on your device, to keep your progress, settings, device ID and login token.
- The only cookie is set on the owner's private stats page, which players never visit.
- If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and show a notice in the game. For a big change, such as collecting something new, we will ask for your consent again.
