Privacy Policy for Skate 3 Browser (skate3browser.org) — how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

Last updated: 2026-10-10

Introduction

Welcome to Skate 3 Browser (accessible at skate3browser.org). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect when you visit our website, explore our skateboarding guides, load and play the browser fan game, create an account, or contact our support team, and how that information is used, maintained, and safeguarded.

Information We Collect

To provide our skateboarding simulation launcher, controls reference, and community features, we may collect the following categories of information:

  1. Account & Profile Data — If you register an account or sign in (via email or OAuth providers), we collect your email address, username, profile picture, and associated authentication identifiers.
  2. Local Storage & Device Preferences — For guest and registered players, your interface preferences (such as audio volume, keyboard keybind adjustments, and dark/light theme) are stored locally on your device via HTML5 LocalStorage and Cookies.
  3. Technical & WebGPU Hardware Telemetry — To ensure smooth rendering and compatibility, we check device capabilities such as WebGPU API support, graphics acceleration availability, browser version, operating system, and canvas viewport resolution.
  4. Usage Analytics — Aggregated, non-personally identifiable usage data, including page views, guide interactions, and general geographic region, to help us optimize server performance and content layout.
  5. Billing & Supporter Purchases — If you purchase optional supporter passes or digital features, transactions are processed securely through certified, PCI-DSS compliant third-party billing providers (e.g., Stripe). We never store your full credit card number or sensitive financial credentials on our servers.

How We Use Your Information

We process user information for the following legitimate purposes:

  • Service Delivery & Game Launcher — Providing the web launcher interface, responsive controls tables, trick playbooks, and map navigation guides.
  • Hardware Compatibility & Troubleshooting — Diagnosing WebGPU startup errors, latency issues, and frame rate optimization across devices.
  • Account Maintenance — Managing authentication sessions, account security, and customer service inquiries.
  • Community & User Support — Responding to questions, feedback, and technical support requests submitted to our team.
  • Platform Integrity — Preventing automated abuse, malicious bot traffic, and unauthorized scraping.

Unofficial Fan Project & Third-Party Engine

Skate 3 Browser is an independent fan project and player portal. The underlying browser simulation engine is developed by community developer aaddpp. When launching the game, content streams in real-time through the player canvas. We do not distribute, host, or sell copyrighted game ROMs or proprietary console code.

Cookies and Local Storage

Skate 3 Browser uses minimal cookies and local browser storage to provide core functionality:

  • Essential Storage — Required to remember your UI preferences, session state, and input focus settings.
  • Analytics Storage — Anonymous, privacy-friendly analytics to help us understand guide readership and improve website performance.

You can manage, restrict, or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time.

Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited operational data with trusted third-party service providers solely to maintain our website:

  • Hosting & CDN Infrastructure — Cloud infrastructure and content delivery network providers under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Payment Processors — Secure processing of optional supporter transactions.
  • Legal Compliance — In cases where disclosure is required by lawful government requests, court orders, or applicable regulations.

Data Security and Retention

We implement modern security measures, including TLS/HTTPS encryption across all data transmissions, secure cookie handling, and access-restricted servers.

We retain user account data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal obligations. You may request the deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (including under GDPR in the European Economic Area and CCPA/CPRA in California), you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information or deletion of your data.
  • Object to or restrict specific data processing activities.
  • Request data portability.

Children's Privacy

Skate 3 Browser does not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please notify us immediately and we will take prompt steps to remove such records.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or technical changes. Any revisions will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
