COPPA Notice

Effective date: May 27, 2026 · Tabaconda LLC

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law that limits what websites can collect from children under 13. Joyantenna takes COPPA seriously. This page explains what that means in practice.

1. What we do when someone is under 13

When a visitor enters their birth information during account registration, our system checks their age. If they indicate they are under 13 years old (US) or under 16 years old (EU), we do the following:

• We do not create a full account.
• We do not collect, store, or process any personal information from that visitor.
• We offer two paths: (a) play as a guest, with all scores saved locally to the browser only, or (b) use the parental consent flow below so a parent or guardian can authorize a restricted minor account.

2. Guest play (no consent required)

Every game on Joyantenna is freely playable without an account. In guest mode, scores are saved only to the browser's local storage on the user's own device. We do not transmit or store any game data server-side for guests. When the browser data is cleared, the scores are gone. There is no leaderboard participation, no currency wallet, and no profile for guest players.

3. Parental consent process (for a minor account)

If a child under 13 would like a full account (to appear on leaderboards and earn in-game currency), a parent or guardian must provide verifiable parental consent. Here is how it works:

• The age gate directs the child to a "Have a parent help" screen.
• The child's parent or guardian enters their own email address. We send a consent verification link valid for 48 hours.
• The parent clicks the link, reads a disclosure explaining what data we will collect (display name, hashed birth-month/year, scores, currency balance), and confirms consent.
• We create a restricted minor account. Restrictions include: no participation in any real-time multiplayer features, no public display of real name, no chat, no user-generated display name that could expose identity.
• The parent's email is only used for the consent flow and is not retained after consent is confirmed (or denied), unless the parent chooses to also create an account.

4. What a minor account collects

• A Nakama user ID (internal only, never exposed publicly).
• A display name chosen by the child after parental consent is granted — reviewed by parent on first sign-in.
• Birth month and year (stored only as a one-way hash — the raw date is never retained).
• Game scores and in-game currency balance (coins and gems earned by playing; no real money involved).
• The confirmation timestamp of parental consent.

We do not collect full names, phone numbers, addresses, photos, or any information beyond what is listed above.

5. Parental rights

Parents and guardians may at any time:

• Review the information we have collected about their child by emailing [email protected].
• Request deletion of their child's account and all associated data. We will complete deletion within 5 business days.
• Refuse further collection by requesting account closure. The child may continue to play as a guest.

6. Data collected from all users

Our full Privacy Policy describes all data practices. In short: we hash IP addresses before storage, we use session-only cookies, and we do not embed any third-party advertising or tracking.
