Privacy policy

Last updated 9 November 2026

Madlad Games is run by one person. This page explains, in plain language, what information the site keeps and why.

What we collect

• Account details: your username, email address and a securely hashed password (we never see or store your actual password).
• Things you post: forum posts, feed posts, messages, profile details and images you upload.
• Release list: your email address, if you choose to join.
• Technical data: your IP address is used briefly to stop spam and brute-force attacks, and standard server logs are kept for security.

Cookies

The site uses a session cookie to keep you signed in, and a "keep me signed in" cookie only if you tick that box. Your sky-effects preference is stored in your browser. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies. Arcade games save high scores on your device only.

How we use it

To run your account, show what you post to other members, send emails you asked for (account confirmation, password resets and release emails if you opted in) and keep the site safe. Your information is never sold or shared for marketing.

Emails

Release emails are opt-in and every one has a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also turn them off in your settings.

Your choices

You can edit your profile or delete your account at any time from settings. Deleting your account removes your profile, friends, messages and feed posts; forum posts remain but are shown as "Deleted user". For any other request, including a copy of your data, email warren@madladgames.com.

Embedded content

Game pages may offer a YouTube trailer. It only loads from YouTube (using their privacy-enhanced mode) after you click play.

Children

Accounts are for people aged 13 and over.
