Sticks keeps what it needs to run the game, and nothing else. No ads, no tracking, nothing sold.

What everyone can see

• Your handle and tag (like RY#4821).
• Your rating, and the sticks on your rack: their names, who carved them, who has held them, their streaks.
• Your handle on the sticks you carved, wherever they hang now.

What only you and the game see

• Your save: every stick you hold, your friends list and your settings.
• Your email, only if you add one to keep your wanderer. It's used for sign-in emails and nothing else.
• Reports you file about another player, which we read to keep names and play fair.
• A record of each ranked match: who staked what, and how it ended. That's how the game decides who holds a stick.

Where it lives

Your account and saves are kept with Supabase. The game and its live duels run on Cloudflare. During a live duel, the two phones exchange positions and moves through Cloudflare. Nothing from a duel is recorded except its result.

Your phone also keeps a copy of your save, so the game opens fast and works between connections.

Leaving

In the game: Account, then Delete account. Your account, save, rack and email are deleted at once, along with every stick you hold. Sticks you carved that someone else won are theirs now and stay on their rack.

Children

Sticks isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly keep anything about them.
