Privacy Policy

Updated September 13, 2026. This policy describes Gold Rush at goldrushk.com. Contact the game operator at pengrambo3@gmail.com about your account or personal data.

Account and game information

We store your account identifier, email when you register by email, a password hash rather than your plain-text password, and your game progress, purchases, inventory, rankings and activity. Session cookies keep you signed in. Local browser storage keeps preferences and a visitor identifier. Activity and presence records support online status, traffic statistics, game operations and abuse investigation. Web requests expose your IP address to the hosting service and may appear in server logs.

Google and social accounts

When you choose Google sign-in, Google asks permission to provide basic profile and email information. The game uses the verified Google account identifier to authenticate you and stores the identifier and display name for the account link. It does not request your Gmail messages, contacts or friend list. Other social providers, when enabled, supply the account identifier and display name you authorize for sign-in or linking. Linking does not automatically import friends. Google user data is used for account authentication and linking, not sold or used for advertising.

Location

Your country and region are saved for regional rankings. If you choose device location and grant permission, your browser sends its coordinates to BigDataCloud to resolve the region. BigDataCloud also receives your IP address and uses location data to improve its service, as described in its service explanation. The game stores the returned country and region and the device coordinates and reported accuracy with your account. Permission is optional: you can select a country and region instead. IP-based regional suggestions may use ipapi.co and are approximate. Device accuracy is not guaranteed. Exact coordinates are not intended for public ranking display.

Public game activity and payments

Other players can see your game nickname, ranking, online status and game information needed for social play. Enabled third-party payment processors may include PayPal, Xsolla and Airwallex. Only the provider you choose receives information needed to process that checkout, under its own privacy policy. Listing a provider here does not mean its checkout is available. The game stores order identifiers, amounts, currencies, transaction references and payment status to deliver virtual goods and reconcile transactions; it does not store full credit card numbers, CVV or payment-provider passwords.

Retention and your choices

Account and game records remain in the system while needed to operate your account. Payment, security and operational records may be retained for reconciliation, fraud prevention or applicable legal obligations. To request access, correction, deletion or removal of a social link, email the address above from your registered address or provide enough information for us to verify ownership. Do not send passwords. You can revoke Google access in your Google Account settings, deny location permission in your browser and sign out of the game. Removing a browser cookie does not delete server-side account records.

Service providers and changes

Data is processed by the game's hosting infrastructure and the login, location or payment providers you use, potentially outside your country. We use access controls and secure connections, but no system can guarantee absolute security. Material changes will be reflected on this page. Contact us if you believe a child's personal information has been submitted without appropriate permission.
