Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 23, 2026

Kibasen is operated by Testcode, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use the Kibasen game - the website at kibasen.com, the desktop applications for Windows and macOS, and the related online services (together, the "Service").

Kibasen is a multiplayer game, and we aim to collect only what we need to run it safely. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Overview

When you use Kibasen you create an account, play matches with other people, and can talk to your partner over voice chat and create your own servers. To keep the community safe, usernames and server names that you share with other players may be moderated automatically and by our team. We collect the limited information described below to provide and secure the Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information. When you create an account we store your username and a hash of your password - never the password itself. We do not ask for your email address. Your username is shown to the other participants in a match and on the leaderboards. We also store your game statistics and progress, such as kills, wins and level.

2.2 Voice Chat and Player Content. While you have a partner your microphone is transmitted to your partner in real time. Voice chat is carried by our voice chat provider, Epic Online Services (operated by Epic Games, Inc.), which receives a pseudonymous identifier derived from your account rather than your username; we do not record it. Kibasen never accesses your camera. The name of a server you create, and a salted hash of its password if you set one, are stored on our servers while the server exists so it can be listed for other players.

2.3 Technical Data. We process basic technical information such as IP address and timestamps to connect players to game servers and to keep the Service reliable and secure, including rate limiting and abuse prevention.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Account information is used to sign you in and show your username in matches and on the leaderboards.
• Voice chat is transmitted to your partner in real time.
• Game statistics are used to show your progress and the leaderboards.
• Usernames and server names are used to moderate and monitor the Service, enforce bans, handle reports, and review appeals.
• Technical data is used to operate the Service and prevent abuse.

4. Service Providers

We share information with service providers who process it on our behalf to operate the Service:

These providers are permitted to use the information only to perform services for us, subject to their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.

5. Data Storage and Security

• Account, username, statistics, and moderation records are stored on secure cloud databases.
• Data in transit between your device and our servers is protected by TLS (HTTPS).
• We use reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect your information.

No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.

6. Your Choices and Account Deletion

To delete your account, contact us at [email protected] with your username. Deleting your account removes your profile information, including your username, statistics, and progress. We may retain limited safety and moderation records associated with a non-identifying account identifier to enforce bans and prevent abuse.

7. Data Retention

• Account information is retained until you delete your account.
• Server names are retained while the server exists, and afterwards only as needed to operate the Service, enforce bans, handle reports and appeals, and prevent abuse.
• Technical data used for abuse prevention is retained for as long as necessary.

8. Data Deletion

To delete your account or request deletion of your data, contact us at [email protected]. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

Kibasen is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe that a child under 16 has used the App, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly delete any associated data.

10. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide you with specific rights regarding your personal information. Kibasen collects only the limited personal information described in this policy. To the extent applicable:

International Data Transfers. For transfers of personal data from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland to the United States, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission, or other lawful transfer mechanisms as applicable. You may request a copy of the applicable transfer safeguards by contacting us at [email protected].

EEA/UK User Rights Under GDPR. If you are located in the EEA or United Kingdom, you have the following additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR:

We process the limited personal data we hold on the legal basis of legitimate interest (providing and securing the Service) and, where applicable, performance of a contract (these Terms of Service).

12. What We Do Not Do

For clarity, Kibasen does not:

• Display advertisements or use advertising SDKs
• Sell, rent, or share your data with data brokers or marketing companies
• Collect more personal information than we need to run and secure the Service

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and, where practicable, notify you through the App. Your continued use of Kibasen after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
