Terms of use

• FZ Games games are free and provided by Forgenza. No sign-up required: signing in with Discord or Google is optional and only used for the leaderboard and your player space. By playing, you accept these terms.
• Pick a decent nickname and play fair: no insults, no hateful or sexual content, nothing targeting a real person. A room’s host and the Forgenza team can remove a player or close a room.
• What you write (nickname, answers, clues) is shown to the other players in the room: don’t put personal information in it.
• The game is provided as is. It may be interrupted (update, maintenance), and a game in progress may then be lost.
• The games, their texts, visuals and code belong to Forgenza, except the open content listed in the credits.
• Under 15: play with a parent’s permission.
• These terms are governed by French law.

Privacy

Forgenza is the data controller. We collect the bare minimum. After the game, we only keep the fingerprint described for Discord and the ranking of finished games, described below.

• Nickname and game content: kept in the server’s memory while the room exists, visible to the room’s players and to the Forgenza team, who moderate rooms live. Erased at most one minute after the last player leaves, and on every server restart. Never written to disk or to our logs, except the end-of-game ranking (nickname and score), described below.
• Your browser keeps your last nickname and your language (local storage) to pre-fill them, a sign-in token if you sign in for the leaderboard (with your leaderboard nickname, tag and avatar, to offer “Continue as”), and, for the current tab only, a token to reconnect you to your room and the site you came from. On games.forgenza.com only, if you open your player space, a session cookie (strictly necessary, 90 days, erased when you sign out) keeps you signed in. No advertising cookies, no trackers.
• IP address: used only to limit abuse (connections, room creation), kept in memory and erased after a few minutes. Our hosting may keep technical connection logs for the security of the service.
• Statistics: we count visits and games (number, length, language, number of players) and where they come from (referring site without the path, link campaign), how the sign-in buttons are used (shown, clicked, successful) and the kind of device (computer, phone, itch.io, Discord), as daily totals, with no nickname, IP address, identifier or content.
• In Discord: we receive your display name, used as your nickname, and your Discord user ID, no avatar or email. The ID (and that of the server where you launch the game) is never stored as is: it is replaced by a fingerprint, which cannot be traced back to your account without our secret key, to count distinct players. This fingerprint is erased 90 days after your last game. We also note, without linking it to you, whether you play on mobile or desktop. Your use of Discord is covered by its own privacy policy.
• Leaderboard, if you sign in with Discord or Google (automatically in the Discord Activity): we only receive your account ID (with Google, an opaque ID, no email or name), replaced by a fingerprint. Your browser keeps a sign-in token (90 days, erased when you sign out). The ranking of each finished game (nicknames, scores, rank, success, speed) is kept with no time limit, and the leaderboard publicly shows the nickname and results of signed-in players. From your player space, you can hide yourself from the leaderboard, export your data or delete everything.
• Player space (games.forgenza.com/moi), if you sign in to it: a profile tied to your account’s fingerprint (nickname chosen for the leaderboard, avatar, language, date you joined) and, if you link them, your Discord and Google accounts, each by its fingerprint. For the length of your session, your account ID is kept encrypted, to recognise you in the games without going back through Discord or Google, and erased with the session. Profile erased after 24 months without a visit or a game. If you delete your account, your games stay with no link to you, and for 90 days sign-ins still open in the games no longer count for the leaderboard. Your badges are kept with their date. While you are “visible” on the leaderboard, a public card (games.forgenza.com/j/…, never indexed) shows your nickname, tag, games and badges, with the image your space draws for sharing. What you suggest (content, recommendations, Lab ideas and votes) is reviewed by the team before anything is published; a published recommendation or idea shows your nickname, and the text of a refused suggestion is erased after 90 days. Your crews: their name and members, visible only to members (nickname, avatar, tag), invite links (kept as a fingerprint, 7 days at most) and rematch calls (30 minutes). You can leave a crew whenever you like; if you delete your account, you leave your crews, and your published content stays in the game without your nickname.
• Komba (komba.forgenza.com): at the end of each duel, a snapshot of your character, nickname, rating and way of playing (how many Strikes, Spells and Guards depending on the situation, counted by the game) becomes your “ghost”, an opponent other players face when nobody is free, for 30 days. Your browser keeps your character, your rating and a key that ties your duels to the same ghost. If you are signed in with Discord or Google, the ghost is tied to your account’s fingerprint, and your character and rating are saved there to follow you from one device to another (exported and deleted from your player space, with the rest) and the game can tell you what it did while you were away; otherwise it stays anonymous.

This processing is based on providing the game you ask for, and on our legitimate interest in protecting it from abuse.

You can access, export, correct or erase your data yourself from your player space (games.forgenza.com/moi), or ask at the address below, giving your nickname and its tag (#4F2A). You can also object to its processing, or contact the French data protection authority (CNIL, cnil.fr).
