Privacy Policy

Tetra — Privacy Policy Last updated: 30 October 2026 Tetra is a game played through Discord and at tetra.pixlabs.dev, made by PixLabs (run by rhodzy, based in England). Each Discord server looks after one aquarium together. This policy explains what the game stores about you, why, and what you can do about it. It's written to be read, so if anything is unclear, just ask. Tetra is not released yet. We'll update this policy before launch if anything below changes. Contact: rhodzy@rhodzy.com, or our Discord server: https://discord.gg/CwX7B9RxXZ WHAT WE STORE About you, as a player • Your Discord user ID. This is how the game knows which stats are yours. • Your Discord display name, as it was the last time you looked after a tank. It's shown on the fishkeeper leaderboards. • Your fishkeeping stats in each server you play in: feeds, water tests, water changes, glass scrubs, fish added, votes, and when you last played. • Who last did each job on a server's tank, so the game can share the work fairly. About each server's tank • The server's Discord ID, the tank's name and size, its fish, plants and decor, water readings, shells, upgrades, and fish that have died (the memorial board). • The settings the server's admins choose: the panel channel, the ping role, who can spend shells, and whether announcements and web play are on. Votes If you vote for Tetra on a bot listing site, that site tells us your Discord user ID. We record which site you voted on and when, so a vote can't be counted twice, and which server should get the reward. Playing on the website To play at tetra.pixlabs.dev/play you log in with Discord. The website reads your Discord user ID, username and avatar to show who's logged in and to keep you logged in (with a cookie). It checks with the bot that you're a member of the servers it shows you. Now and then the website may ask you to complete a Cloudflare Turnstile "are you human" check. Cloudflare runs that check and hosts the website, and its privacy policy applies to it (https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/). Purchases Tetra may offer optional cosmetic extras, such as tank backgrounds and decor. If it does, payments are handled by Stripe. We never see your card details. Stripe tells us what was bought, for which server or player, and the Discord user ID of the buyer, so we can unlock it. Stripe's privacy policy applies to the payment (https://stripe.com/privacy). Technical logs Our server keeps activity logs (for example, "user ID … pressed Feed in server …") to find and fix problems. They're deleted automatically as the logs rotate, usually within a few weeks. WHAT WE DON'T DO • We don't read your messages. The bot only sees the commands and buttons you use with it. • We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. There are no ads. • We don't track you outside Tetra. • The bot only sends you direct messages if you turn on alerts. WHAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN SEE Some of the game is public by design: • The tank panel shows who fed the fish last, and the server's fishkeeper list shows players' names and stats to anyone who can see the panel. • Announcements (for example new fish, upgrades and votes) may include your name. A server's admins can turn announcements off. • The global leaderboards show tank names and the top fishkeepers' display names and stats to players in every server that uses Tetra. WHO WE SHARE DATA WITH Only the services needed to run the game: • Discord, where the game runs. • Bot listing sites, which send us your vote. • Cloudflare, which hosts the website and runs the "are you human" check. • Stripe, if you buy something. • Our hosting provider (Contabo). The game's data is stored on a server in France, in the EU. WHY WE USE YOUR DATA (UK GDPR) • To run the game you've chosen to play: your ID, name, stats, votes and purchases. • Our legitimate interests: keeping the game fair (anti-abuse), fixing problems (logs), and showing leaderboards and announcements. • Legal obligations: keeping purchase records for tax and accounting. HOW LONG WE KEEP IT • Game data: as long as you or your server play. If you ask us to delete your data, we will. • If a server's admins or the bot owner wipe a server, its tank, upgrades and fishkeeper stats are deleted. • Purchase records: as long as the law requires (usually six years in the UK). • Logs: deleted automatically as they rotate, usually within a few weeks. YOUR RIGHTS You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop using it for a particular purpose. Contact us (details above) from the Discord account concerned. Deleting your data clears your fishkeeping stats everywhere and can't be undone. The tanks you helped look after keep their fish, because they belong to their servers. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). CHILDREN You must be old enough to use Discord in your country (at least 13) to play. CHANGES If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. For significant changes, we'll also let players know in the PixLabs Discord server.
