Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to VoltStrike ("we," "our," or "us"). We are dedicated to providing the ultimate high-voltage arcade experience where you can strike with power, collect coins, and dominate the board. As you immerse yourself in our lightning coin games and physics puzzles, we are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, play our games, or interact with our services. By accessing VoltStrike, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Our Senior Game Designer, Alex 'Spark' Rivera, has ensured that just as we avoid "beginner mistakes" in gameplay, we also avoid them in data handling. We treat your data with the same precision required to master a perfect coin strike.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better services to all our users. The types of information we collect include:

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share your information in the following situations:
