Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 July 2026

Navy Combat is a browser game. This page explains exactly what data the game stores, what leaves your device, and what you can do about it. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past — if something here is unclear, please ask.

1. Who runs this game

Navy Combat is an independently developed browser game. Questions about this policy or about data held about you can be sent to the address in the About page.

2. Data stored on your own device

Most of the game lives in your browser's localStorage and never leaves your computer unless you deliberately sign in. That local data includes:

Your career profile: credits, experience, naval rank, unlocked ships, upgrades and refits.
Campaign progress, achievements, medals and challenge completion.
Game settings: graphics quality, audio volume, language, control bindings.
Saved battle replays and any maps you create in the map editor.
A randomly generated player id used to label you in multiplayer lobbies.

Clearing your browser's site data for this domain erases all of the above permanently. There is no server-side backup unless you have signed in.

3. Data sent to our servers

The game only contacts our own backend when you use an online feature. Specifically:

Multiplayer and co-op: while a match is running, your ship inputs and match state are relayed through our server so the other players can see them. This data is transient and is not stored after the match ends.
Ranked ladder and leaderboards: if you play ranked matches, the result, your rating and your chosen display name are recorded so the ladder can be shown.
Cloud save (optional): if you sign in, your career profile is stored against your account so you can continue on another device.
Purchases (optional): if you buy the full edition, the payment is handled by our payment provider. We never see or store your card details — we only record that your account is entitled to the content.

If you never sign in and never play online, no personal data reaches our servers.

4. Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense to show advertising, including optional rewarded video ads that grant in-game currency. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.
More information about how Google uses data from sites that use its services is available at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are shown a consent prompt before personalised advertising cookies are used, and can change that choice at any time.
Additional third-party opt-outs are listed at aboutads.info.

Watching a rewarded ad is always optional. Declining it does not restrict any gameplay content; it only forgoes the bonus currency.

5. Children

This game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and it will be deleted.

6. Your choices

Play without an account. Single-player, the campaign and the map editor all work with no sign-in and no data leaving your device.
Delete local data. Clear site data for this domain in your browser settings.
Delete account data. Contact us and we will remove your stored profile, ladder entries and entitlements.
Block ads. The game detects a blocked ad loader and continues to run normally; no feature is gated behind seeing an advert.

7. Security and retention

Account data is held only as long as the account exists. Match relay traffic is not retained after a match finishes. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with third parties except the advertising, authentication and payment providers described above.

8. Changes

If this policy changes materially, the "last updated" date above will change and a notice will appear on the site. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the updated policy.
