Skills Arcade privacy

Last updated October 29, 2026

The Skills Arcade is a free practice site run by Open Tier Systems LLC. We keep what we collect to the minimum needed to run the high score boards and the game votes. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking cookies.

What we collect

• The name you type when you post a ranked score. Use a nickname or initials; you don't need to give your real name.
• Your score for that round: points, how many you got right, which game, when you played and the site version.
• Your votes on Coming soon games, tied to a random ID your browser makes. It isn't linked to your name or anything else about you.
• Your IP address when you post a score or vote. We use it only to block spam and rapid repeat posts, and it isn't shown on any board.

Practice rounds never leave your browser.

What stays in your browser

The site saves a few things in your browser's local storage so it works the way you'd expect: your last player name, your own score history, which questions you've seen recently, your vote ID, and whether you've read the latest release notes. This is never used to track you and isn't shared. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.

Why

To show the high score boards, count votes on what we build next, and keep the boards free of spam. That's it. We don't sell this data or use it for marketing.

Where it's kept

Scores and votes are stored with our automation provider, which processes them on our behalf. Fonts and pages are served from this site, so your browser doesn't contact any other company to load them.

How long

Scores and votes are kept while the boards are running. We may reset boards at any time, and we delete names that are offensive or impersonate someone.

Your choices

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete any score posted under your name. Contact us and tell us the name you used and roughly when you played. If you're in the EU or UK, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
