Privacy policy

Last updated 18 October 2026

AkwaCity is an online life-sim game set in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, played at akwacity.vercel.app and on games portals such as CrazyGames. This page explains what we collect when you play, why, who else handles it, how long we keep it, and your choices. It goes with our terms and conditions.

What we collect

• Your account, on our site: your email address (to sign you in and reset your password), your username and, if you set one, your password (stored only as a secure hash by our sign-in provider).
• Your account, on CrazyGames: your CrazyGames user ID and username, which CrazyGames shares with us when you're logged in there, so your progress follows you. We don't receive your CrazyGames email or password. If you play there without logging in, we make an anonymous guest account that holds only your game progress.
• Your game: your character, money, homes, businesses, cars, progress and what you do in the game, so the world remembers you.
• What you share: city chat and nearby chat, direct messages in Yarn, photos you post or send, ads you upload, your profile, and reports you make about other players.
• Payments (our site only): when you buy Palms or a pass, the amount, currency and a payment reference. Card details go straight to Stripe and never reach us.
• Technical information: how smoothly the game runs (frame rate, load time, connection type) and crash reports (the error, the page, your browser type), to fix problems. Your country, from your connection, is used to show prices in your currency and isn't stored.
• On your device only: your settings, your in-game camera roll and a few preferences stay in your browser's storage and are never sent to us.

Other players only ever see your username, your character and what you choose to share in the game, never your email.

Why we use it

• To run the game and your account, keep the shared world in sync, and save your progress (performing our agreement with you).
• To keep players safe: filtering chat for bad language, reviewing ads, handling reports, and stopping cheating and abuse (our legitimate interest in a fair, safe game).
• To process purchases and keep the records the law requires.
• To find and fix bugs and performance problems.

We don't sell your information, and we don't use it to profile you for advertising.

Ads

Every ad in AkwaCity comes from an ad network; players can't post ads. On CrazyGames and other game sites, their own ads are shown under their own privacy policy. On akwacity.vercel.app, ads are served by Google AdSense, which may use cookies to show ads, including personalised ones (see Google's how Google uses information from ads). Either way, we only learn whether a rewarded ad finished, so we can give you its reward.

Who else handles it

• Supabase stores the game's data and runs sign-in.
• Vercel hosts the game.
• Stripe processes payments on our site.
• Cloudflare Turnstile checks that sign-ins come from people, not bots.
• CrazyGames, when you play there: their login, friends, invites and ads. Their own privacy policy covers what they collect.
• YouTube plays videos when you watch TV in the game (using YouTube's privacy-enhanced player).

These providers may store data outside Nigeria; they protect it under their own security and data-protection commitments.

How long we keep it

As long as you have an account. Crash reports and performance figures are kept only as long as they help fix the game. Payment records are kept as long as the law requires. Guest accounts that are never used again may be removed.

Your choices and rights

• Delete your account at any time in the game: Settings → Delete my account. Your account, character, money, Palms, homes (they go back on the market), messages and posts are deleted for good. This can't be undone.
• You can ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct it, through the Report button in the game.
• On CrazyGames you can turn chat off in their settings, and the game respects it.
• Depending on where you live (for example under Nigeria's Data Protection Act or the GDPR), you may also have the right to object to some uses or complain to your data-protection authority.

Children

AkwaCity is for players aged 13 and over. If you believe a child under 13 is playing, report them in the game and we'll remove the account.

Security

Data travels over encrypted connections, each player can only reach their own private data, and payments are handled by Stripe. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep yours safe.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes too, and big changes are announced in the game. Questions or requests: use the Report button in the game and we'll get back to you.
