Gridlock Run Privacy

Short version: Google sign-in is optional and is used only to prove ownership of a player profile. Gridlock Run never asks Google for access to Gmail, Drive, your crypto wallet, seed phrase, or private keys.

Information used by the game

Gridlock Run stores the public player name you choose, internal profile and security identifiers, public game results, race statistics, tickets, duels, tournament records, and information needed to prevent abuse. When you voluntarily use SOL features, the game may also process the public wallet address and public transaction signature you provide.

Optional Google sign-in

If you continue with Google, Google supplies a signed identity token. The server verifies it and stores a one-way hash of Google's stable account identifier so it can return you to the same Gridlock Run profile. The raw Google identifier, your Google password, email contents, contacts, Gmail, and Drive files are not stored or accessed by Gridlock Run. A private Gridlock Run recovery code remains available as a backup and as the non-Google option.

Optional AI Vehicle Studio

If you choose to generate a custom vehicle, your vehicle description is sent from a Netlify server function through Netlify AI Gateway to Google Gemini to create a top-down game sprite and a matching victory scene. Do not put private information in the description. Generated artwork is public in races, replays, profiles, and victory screens. Temporary full-size generation files expire if you do not save them; when you save, Gridlock Run keeps the processed vehicle sprite and finished victory scene under an anonymous asset identifier.

Why the information is used

The information is used to operate profiles and races, enforce ticket and prize rules, show public game information, prevent duplicate claims and cheating, investigate reports, maintain security, and provide player support. Private administrative details and private recovery credentials are not included in public profile results.

Service providers

Gridlock Run uses Google Identity Services for optional Google sign-in, Google Gemini for optional Vehicle Studio image generation, and Netlify for site hosting, server functions, storage, and AI Gateway. Their handling of information is governed by their own policies. Gridlock Run does not sell player information.

Your choices

You can play free modes without linking Google or a wallet. You can secure a player name with a private recovery code instead of Google. For profile help or a deletion request, contact Gridlock Run through its official X or Discord channels.

Safety

Never share a wallet seed phrase, private key, Google password, or Gridlock Run recovery code. Gridlock Run support will not ask for them.
