ROTWAVE Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

ROTWAVE (rotwave.com) is a free browser game. This page explains what information the game stores, why, and the choices you have.

Progress saved in your browser

Your progress (cash, unlocked weapons, upgrades, perks, best waves and lifetime stats) is saved in your browser's local storage on your own device. It is not sent anywhere unless you create an account. You can erase it at any time with Reset progress on the main menu or by clearing your browser's site data.

Accounts and leaderboards (optional)

If you create an account, we store:

• the player name you choose,
• your password, stored only as a salted, one-way hash (we can never see the password itself),
• your password recovery code, also stored only as a one-way hash,
• a recovery email address, only if you choose to add one,
• your game progress, so it can follow you to other devices,
• your best results in each game mode.

Your player name and best results appear on the public leaderboards. Account data is stored with Cloudflare, which hosts the game. We do not ask for your real name or location, and we never sell or share account data.

Recovery email (optional)

You can add an email address to your account so you can reset your password if you forget it. We use it only to send a verification code and password reset links that you ask for. It is never shown on leaderboards, never used for newsletters or marketing, and never given to anyone else. These emails are delivered for us by Resend, an email delivery service. You can remove the address at any time from the Account screen, and it is deleted along with your account.

To delete your account and all of its data, email us at the address below with your player name.

Advertising

ROTWAVE may show ads provided by Google AdSense, for example between waves or when you choose to watch an ad to revive. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and to measure them, including ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.

• Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
• Turn off personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, and can change that choice at any time.

Hosting and security logs

The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. To stop abuse of sign-in and password reset, our server also briefly keeps a count of requests per IP address; these entries are deleted automatically within a day. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits; it does not use cookies or track you across other sites. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Children

ROTWAVE contains graphic cartoon violence and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
