Powder Kings privacy

Updated 4 November 2026

Powder Kings is a free daily snowboard game made by Lloyd Turner, who is responsible for your data. You can reach him at hello@powderkings.gg. The game doesn't use cookies or ad trackers, nothing is sold, and an account is optional.

Leaderboard

When you finish a run, the game saves it to the daily leaderboard so other riders can see it and race your ghost:

• your rider name: a made-up one until you pick your own, and you can change it any time
• your time, your ghost (the line you rode), your rider's outfit and your streak (how many days in a row you've finished)
• whether you played on desktop or mobile
• a random player ID and key made on your device, so only you can replace or rename your runs
• your biggest wipeout and best trick of the run, as short replays for highlight videos
• if you share a dare, a picture of your rider with your name and time, so the link can show it

Everything is kept for 10 days. After that, only the ghosts of each day's top 20 are kept, plus the names and times on the board so past days and their winners still show. Other ghosts, runs and replays are deleted.

Account (optional)

If you sign in, we keep your email address so we can send you sign-in codes and let you ride as the same rider on any device. You need to be 13 or over. We also keep:

• which of your devices' player IDs have signed in, so your times and progress add up across them
• whether you want time alerts (an email when someone pushes you down today's top 10, up to three a day) and game updates (news about the game, now and then). Each is your choice, and game updates are off unless you tick them
• sign-in codes, stored only in scrambled form, and deleted within a day

We keep your email address until you delete your account. Every alert has a link to stop it. In the game, Settings → Account lets you change what you get, sign out, or delete your account, which deletes your email address and device links straight away. Your times stay on past boards under your rider name, as they do for everyone. Emails are sent by Cloudflare.

Play stats

To see how the game is doing, it records visits and runs: how far you got, where you wiped out, tricks landed, frame rate, load time, and when you share, customise your rider or tap the Instagram link. It also counts how the menus get used: which offers and prompts you see and tap, opening the leaderboard, choosing ghosts, your phone's orientation, and whether you made or deleted an account (never your email address). Visits also note your country and region (worked out by our host, Cloudflare, without storing your IP address), time zone, operating system, browser, language, screen size and where the visit came from (for example, a game site).

These stats are saved against the same random player ID as your runs, so they could be matched to your rider name. They're only used to see how the game is played and to improve it, and they're never shared. They're deleted after 12 months. No IP addresses are kept.

On your device

Your player ID and key, settings, best time, own ghost and outfit are kept in your browser's local storage. Clearing your site data removes them, and the game then treats you as a new rider.

Why we can use it

• Leaderboard, ghosts, sign-in and playing across devices: to give you the game you've chosen to play.
• Play stats: our legitimate interest in seeing how the game is played and improving it.
• Time alerts and game updates: your choice, which you can change at any time.

Where it's stored

Everything above is stored with Cloudflare, which hosts the game and its leaderboard and sends its emails. Cloudflare may handle it outside the UK, under its data protection terms.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, or ask for it to be corrected or deleted. You can also object to how it's used or ask for that to be limited. Email hello@powderkings.gg with your rider name, for this or any other question. If you're unhappy with the answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
