Privacy notice · effective September 7, 2026
Small rooms.
Minimal data.
Backyard Ballistics is a browser game from Daedalus Work LLC. It has no advertising, accounts, chat, analytics trackers, microphone access or camera access.
What stays on your device
Your nickname, selected character, loadout, display settings, control preferences and locally prepared playtest reports may be stored in your browser. You can remove them by clearing site data. A report is not sent automatically; it leaves your device only if you choose to copy, download or share it.
What private rooms use
When you create or enter a room, the service processes the room code, nickname, character, loadout, game inputs and connection state needed to run the match. Other people in that room can see your nickname and gameplay. Use a nickname rather than your real name. A room code is an invitation link, not a password.
Active room state is kept in memory. Limited room configuration and an unguessable host token may be retained in Cloudflare Durable Object storage so a room can recover from an infrastructure restart. Rooms expire after no more than two hours, and inactive or empty rooms expire sooner. Disconnected player sessions have a 15-second reconnect window.
Network and security data
Cloudflare delivers and protects the site and may process IP addresses, request metadata, security signals and operational logs under its own service terms. Daedalus does not intentionally log room codes, host tokens, nicknames, chat content (there is no chat), or game input contents. Rate limits use short-lived infrastructure controls rather than an application-owned IP database.
Players under 13
This service is intended for people age 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use the online room feature or submit personal information. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided personal information can contact us to request review and deletion where available.
Your choices
- Play offline against bots without creating a room.
- Decline browser storage; the game will continue with settings that reset later.
- Close a room and stop sharing its code.
- Ask about access or deletion of data we control by emailing outreach@daedalusworks.net.
Do not put sensitive, identifying or confidential information in a nickname or playtest report.
Changes and contact
Material changes will be posted here with a revised effective date. Privacy questions may be sent to outreach@daedalusworks.net. Daedalus Work LLC is responsible for the game service.
