Privacy Policy

Critter Cantina: Animal Bar · Origami Octopus Games · Effective September 25, 2026

The short version: Critter Cantina has no ads, no analytics SDKs and no tracking across other apps or sites, and we never sell your data. If you choose a player name, we store it with a scrambled (hashed) copy of your PIN so you can play on other devices and against friends. You can delete all of it at any time.

Who we are

Critter Cantina: Animal Bar (formerly "Animal Bar") is made by Christopher D. Morgan, doing business as Origami Octopus Games. Questions or requests: origamioctopusgames@gmail.com.

What we collect and why

Data	Why	Who can see it
Player name (you choose it)	Your identity on leaderboards and in Correspondence games	Public: shown on leaderboards and to opponents
PIN, stored only as a one-way hash	Proves a name is yours when you sign in on another device	No one. We never store the PIN itself
Cloud career save: achievements, scores, stats, campaign progress	Syncs your progress between devices	Only you, after entering your PIN
Leaderboard scores: name, score, game mode, version	Global and daily leaderboards	Public
Correspondence games: game state and both player names	Turn-by-turn play with a friend across devices	You and your opponent
Notification subscription: a push address issued by your browser	Telling you when it's your turn (only if you turn it on)	No one. Used only to send you notifications
Install ID: a random ID created on your device	Rate-limiting abuse and grouping anonymous stats	Us only
Gameplay stats for each finished game: mode, turns, scores, bot opponents, and player names at the table	Balancing the game and fixing bugs	Us only
Crash reports: error message, technical trace, app version, screen, turn	Finding and fixing crashes	Us only

We don't collect your email address (unless you email us), phone number, contacts, location, photos, advertising ID, or payment information. The game has no in-app purchases.

Stored only on your device

Settings, local high scores, achievements and saved games are kept in your browser's storage on your device. If you've chosen a player name, some of this is also copied to your cloud career save as described above.

Services we use

Supabase: our database, where everything in the table above is stored.
Cloudflare: hosts the game at crittercantina.com. Like any web host, it briefly logs technical request data such as IP addresses. (Vercel hosts the older animal-bar.vercel.app address, the same way, until it is retired.)
Google Fonts: serves the game's fonts, so your device requests them from Google.
Your browser's push service (for example Google on Android): delivers turn notifications if you turn them on.

These providers process data only to run the game. We don't share your data with anyone else except when required by law.

How long we keep it

We keep your player name, PIN hash, cloud save, scores, Correspondence games and notification subscription until you delete your profile. Gameplay stats and crash reports carry no identity once your name is removed, and we keep them to improve the game.

Deleting your data

You can delete your profile at any time, and deletion is immediate:

In the game: About → Delete My Profile
On the web: delete-account page
By email: if you've forgotten your PIN, write to origamioctopusgames@gmail.com with your player name and we'll delete it within 30 days.

This removes your player name, PIN hash, cloud save, leaderboard scores, Correspondence games and notification subscriptions, and removes your name from our gameplay stats.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your data, or to object to how it's used. Email us to make any of these requests and we'll respond within 30 days.

Children

Critter Cantina includes cartoon alcohol references and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you think a child has created a profile, email us and we'll delete it.

Security

Data is sent over HTTPS. PINs are stored only as hashes, and cloud saves can be read only with the matching PIN. The PIN is a light lock for a game profile, not a bank password, so please don't reuse a PIN that protects anything important.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be noted in the game's changelog.
