Horizon Blvd · last updated 26 October 2026

Who looks after your data

Horizon Blvd is made and run by Tiberiu Matei, an independent developer in Romania, who is the controller of the data described here. For anything about your data, or to report a bug, write to [email protected].

What's kept on your device

The game saves your progress, settings and car builds in your browser's storage, along with your driver key (if you play online), runs waiting to be sent, and a few pictures it draws (avatars, menu covers) so it doesn't draw them again. This is what makes the game work, so it needs no consent banner, and none of it is used to track you. Clearing the site's data in your browser removes it, as does Delete my driver in the game.

What's kept on our server

Only if you play online (claim a driver name). Then the server keeps:

• Your driver name, when you made it, and when you last changed it.
• Your driver key, only as a one-way hash, so it can't be read back. The key itself stays on your device and in your recovery code.
• Your save (progress, settings, car builds, avatar), so your recovery code can bring it to another device.
• Your ranked runs (the daily road, the drag strip, score attack): the run's replay (when you steered, shifted and so on), its result, when it was driven, and anything our fairness checks noticed about it.
• Your leaderboard bests, the honours you've won, and the drivers you follow.
• A hash of your internet address when a driver is made, to stop anyone making drivers by the hundred. Never the address itself, and it's deleted after about two hours.

What others can see: your driver name, avatar, scores and times on the leaderboards, your honours, and your driver card (how many daily roads you've driven, your bests, and since when you've been driving).

Challenge links you send carry your name, your car's look and your run's replay. Anyone you send one to, or who it's passed on to, can see those.

Why we keep it

• To give you the game you're playing (GDPR article 6(1)(b)): your driver, your saves, ranked runs and the leaderboards.
• To keep it fair and working (our legitimate interest, article 6(1)(f)): checking ranked runs by replaying them, so a leaderboard can't be cheated, and limiting abuse such as mass-made drivers.

The replay check only decides whether a run counts on a leaderboard. Nothing is used for advertising, sold, or shared with anyone beyond the hosting below.

For how long

• Ranked runs that aren't one of your bests: 14 days.
• Your bests, honours, save and driver: until you delete your driver.
• The hash of your address: about two hours.
• Backups: after you delete your driver, or anything else is deleted, it can stay in our backups for up to 14 days (Cloudflare's own 7-day history of the database, and copies we keep for at most 14 days) before it's gone for good. Backups are only used to put the game back after a fault, never to look at anyone's data.

Who hosts it

The game and its server run on Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc.), which stores the data above in its database in the Eastern Europe region and carries the site's traffic, including internet addresses, to deliver and protect it. Cloudflare works for us under its data processing agreement, and where data may leave the EU it's covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the EU's standard contractual clauses. The game's fonts and everything else are served from our own site: nothing is loaded from other companies.

Your rights

You can, at any time:

• Get a copy of everything we keep on you: Settings → Your data → Download my data.
• Correct your name: Settings → Driver name.
• Delete your driver and everything kept on it, on the server and on your device: Settings → Your data → Delete my driver.
• Object to or restrict how we use your data, or ask anything else about it: write to [email protected]. Since we never ask who you are, we may need you to show us it's your driver (from inside the game) before acting on an email.
• Complain to a data protection authority: in Romania the ANSPDCP, or the one where you live.

Children

Horizon Blvd isn't aimed at children under 16. If you're younger, ask a parent before playing online. A parent who wants a child's driver deleted can write to [email protected].

Keeping it safe

Everything travels encrypted (HTTPS), driver keys are only stored hashed, and the server checks what it's sent. Your recovery code is the key to your driver: keep it private, as anyone with it can play as you. Because we only keep it hashed, we can't see it, send it again or recover it: if you lose it on every device, your driver can't be got back.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and anything that matters to you (ads, say, if they ever come) will be said in the game first.
