Mars Pixel — Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Mars Pixel ("we" or "us") operates marspixel.meme (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. What We Collect

Almost nothing. The public areas of the Site do not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information.

The only data that may be collected automatically:

• Hosting logs: Our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical data (IP address, request timestamp, URL visited) as part of standard web hosting. We do not actively collect or use this data. See their Privacy Policy for details
• Live data requests: Several pages make read-only requests to our database provider to display live plot and sponsor data. Your browser connects to their servers, which means your IP address and request metadata are visible to them. We do not write user data on public routes

That's it. No email collection. No analytics. No tracking pixels. No behavioral advertising.

3. What We Don't Collect

We do not collect:

• Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses
• Accounts or login credentials (public routes require no login)
• Social media profiles or friend connections
• Behavioral advertising profiles
• Game scores (stored in your browser only — see Local Storage)
• Dashboard layout preferences (stored in your browser only)
• Wallet addresses or private keys (we do not connect wallets on public routes)
• Payment information (we do not process payments on the public Site)
• Biometric data
• Exact GPS location

This is not a social media platform. We do not collect social graph data, personal messages, friend lists, or behavioral profiles for social targeting.

4. Local Storage

The Site uses your browser's local storage for the following purposes:

• Arcade game scores: High scores are saved in your browser. They are never transmitted to our servers. Clearing your browser data will erase them
• Hangout dashboard layout: The panel types and URLs you paste are stored in your browser. They never leave your device unless you explicitly generate a P2P share link
• Game state: Any in-progress game state is stored locally and lost when you close the tab

Local storage data is stored on your device only. We have no access to it. We cannot read it, modify it, or delete it. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Services

The Site displays content from and links to third-party services:

• DexScreener / GeckoTerminal: Read-only chart embeds displayed via iframe. These services may set their own cookies or collect data according to their own privacy policies. We do not control their data practices
• NASA: Public domain images and data. No tracking involved
• Wikipedia: Content licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. Links to Wikipedia may be subject to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy
• User-pasted embeds: On the hangout dashboard, you may paste URLs from Discord, Twitch, YouTube, X, or other services. When you do, those services load directly in your browser via iframe. Their content, cookies, and data collection are governed by their own privacy policies, not ours. We do not proxy, intercept, or process any data from these embeds

We are not responsible for the data practices of any third-party service. Each service has its own privacy policy that governs your use of their platform.

6. P2P Dashboard Sharing

The hangout dashboard allows you to share your layout via a P2P link. This link contains your panel configuration encoded as a URL hash (base64). The link is generated entirely in your browser.

The P2P link does not involve our server. When someone opens your shared link, their browser decodes the hash locally and loads the panels. No server round-trip occurs. We do not store, log, or have access to shared links.

The shared link contains only panel types and URLs — no personal data. If your pasted URLs contain sensitive information (e.g., private Discord invite links), that information will be visible to anyone who opens the shared link. Do not share links containing private information.

7. Cookies

The Site uses minimal cookies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g., admin session if applicable). These cannot be disabled
• Local storage: Game scores and dashboard layouts (see section 4). These are not cookies but are stored similarly in your browser

We do not use:

• Google Analytics or any analytics tracker
• Facebook Pixel or any advertising tracker
• Google Ads remarketing
• Third-party advertising networks that profile users across sites
• Cross-site tracking cookies

You can disable cookies in your browser. Essential cookies are necessary for the admin area to function; non-essential cookies are not used on public routes.

8. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data on public routes, there is no personal data to retain or delete.

• Local storage: Game scores and dashboard layouts persist in your browser until you clear them. We cannot delete them because we do not have access to them
• Hosting logs: Our hosting provider may retain standard access logs according to their retention policy. We do not control this
• Admin area: If any data is collected in the admin area, it is retained only as long as necessary for site operation

9. Security

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect the Service:

• All connections use HTTPS
• The admin area is isolated with separate authentication
• API keys are stored in server-side environment variables (never in client-side code)
• Public routes do not expose any database access
• Third-party embeds are loaded in sandboxed iframes

However, no system is perfectly secure. You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal data on public routes, most data protection rights (access, correction, deletion, portability) are not applicable to us — we have nothing to access, correct, or delete.

However, depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Local data: Clear your browser's local storage at any time to erase game scores and dashboard layouts
• Hosting logs: Request access to any hosting provider logs that may contain your IP address (subject to the provider's policies)
• Opt-out: Disable cookies in your browser

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the Site.

Note: On-chain data (Solana transactions) is public by nature and cannot be deleted. We do not control on-chain data.

11. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. Since we do not collect personal data on public routes, this policy is primarily a notice that the Service is intended for adults.

If you believe we have collected data from a minor, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

13. Contact

For privacy questions or data requests, contact us through the Site. We do not maintain a public office for privacy inquiries; all correspondence is handled through the Site's contact channels.
