Gotham Metro is a hobby game run by G-Metro Studio. This page says what it keeps about you and why. Questions, or a request to see or delete your data: [email protected].

What the Game Keeps

Your account. Your email address, and your password stored as a scrambled code the game can't read back. Older accounts also have a username.
If you sign in with Discord or Microsoft. Your account number there and the name and email they share with the game. The game never sees your Discord or Microsoft password.
If you add a passkey. Its public half. The private half never leaves your device.
Your game. Your company, its trains and crew, the jobs you take, your money, and your place on The Board. Your company name and initials are public to other players. Your email is never shown to them. Your run reports are private unless you choose to share them.
Your invite. Which invite code you signed up with, and the note the person who invited you made about it.
Cookies. One to keep you signed in and one for security. There are no ads, no trackers and no analytics.
Server logs. Each page request is written to a log on the game's own machine: the page, the time, your network address and your browser's name. It is used to find and fix problems, and old logs are deleted from time to time.
Backups. Copies of the whole database are kept on the game's machine, on a second machine of ours, and (encrypted) in Dropbox. Older copies are replaced over time, at most three months later. Data you ask to have deleted can stay in an older copy until it is replaced.

Other Companies Involved

Cloudflare carries the game's traffic and runs the check that tells people from bots, so it sees your visits.
Google Fonts. Your browser downloads the game's fonts from Google, so Google sees your network address.
Discord or Microsoft, only if you choose to sign in with them.
Dropbox keeps a copy of the game's backups, encrypted before it leaves our server, so Dropbox can't read it.

Your data is not sold, and it is not shared for advertising.
