Privacy Policy for Pipe Game

Last Updated: July 22, 2026

Pipe Game ("the game") is a browser game developed by Carrie on Accessibility. Unlike some other games on this site, it does use a backend service — Google's Firebase platform — to keep your level progress synced between visits and, optionally, between devices.

Summary

Pipe Game automatically creates an anonymous "guest" account the first time you play and saves your level-completion progress to a Firebase cloud database under that account, with no sign-in required. If you choose to sign in with Google instead, your progress syncs to that Google-linked account so it follows you across devices. The game also uses Firebase Analytics for basic usage statistics.

Accounts and Sign-In

When you first open Pipe Game, it silently signs you in as an anonymous Firebase user — no prompt, no information collected beyond a randomly generated account ID. You can instead press Login to sign in with a Google account via Firebase Authentication, which shares basic profile information (such as your Google account ID and display name) with Firebase in order to create that sign-in. The game itself only uses your display name to show a "Cloud Sync: [name]" status message; it does not otherwise use, display, or store anything else from your Google profile.

Signing in with Google links that Google account to your existing guest account, so any progress you've already made as a guest carries over rather than starting from zero.

What Is Stored, and Where

For whichever account is active (anonymous guest or Google), the game saves the following to a Cloud Firestore database (Google's cloud infrastructure, not a server we run ourselves):

Your browser also keeps some sign-in state locally (via mechanisms Firebase manages internally, such as IndexedDB) so you stay signed in to your guest or Google account between visits without having to sign in again each time.

Analytics

Pipe Game initializes Firebase Analytics (built on Google Analytics), which may collect basic, aggregated usage data such as page opens. This is standard Firebase SDK behavior; the game's own code does not send any custom event or gameplay data to Analytics beyond what the SDK collects automatically.

What We Don't Do

Your Control Over Your Data

You can play entirely as a guest and never provide any personal information. Clearing your browser's site data for this page will sign you out and remove your local sign-in state (a new anonymous guest account will be created next time you play). To remove progress stored in Firebase for a Google-linked account, or to ask about deleting an anonymous guest account's data, contact us using the address below.

Children's Privacy

Pipe Game does not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond the anonymous, randomly generated account ID needed to save progress, and Google sign-in is entirely optional.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new "Last Updated" date.
