Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 8, 2026

Who we are

CodePulse Dev is an independent game studio and the developer of Merge Sentinel. This policy covers the website codepulse-dev.xyz and the public build of Merge Sentinel at play.codepulse-dev.xyz.

The public game build

The public build of Merge Sentinel collects no personal data and sends no gameplay telemetry. It requires no account and no sign-in.

Your progress (unlocked upgrades, settings, chosen language) is stored only on your own device, in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device, and you can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's site data.

Closed playtests

During development we run closed playtests with volunteer testers. Testers play a separate test build at a private address, shared with them directly, and knowingly opt in to anonymous gameplay telemetry so we can improve the game. This telemetry contains:

• a random player ID and a nickname the tester chooses (not a real name or email);
• gameplay events: waves reached, units and upgrades used, run outcomes;
• basic device information: browser and OS type, screen size, CPU cores, language and in-game settings.

It is stored in a private Google Sheet accessible only to the developer, used only to balance and fix the game, is not sold or shared with third parties, and is not used for advertising. Raw logs and tester nicknames are never published; the website shows aggregates only. A tester can ask us to delete their data at any time by email.

This website

This website uses no cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. It is hosted on Cloudflare, which may process standard technical data (such as IP addresses) to deliver and secure the site, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. All fonts are hosted on this site; no third-party font or analytics services are used.

Children

We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If future versions of the game (for example on Android or Steam) process any data, this policy will be updated before those versions are released.
