Privacy policy

Effective from 12 November 2026.

This policy covers the REAL DRIFT game in the browser (game.real-drift.com), its Windows and Android versions and the real-drift.com website. Below, “we” means the REAL DRIFT team. For any question about your data, write to [email protected].

What data we keep

• Account: login (also your in-game nickname), your password as a hash (we never store or see the password itself), registration and last sign-in dates, rights level (player, moderator, admin).
• Email and Telegram — only if you linked them yourself on your account page for access recovery: the email address, Telegram chat number and name.
• Game progress: cars, tuning, liveries, plates, skins, money, StarCoin, experience, achievements, daily quests, race records, auction deals, swaps and transfers between players.
• What you publish yourself: in-game chat messages, screenshots and replays in the feed, questions and answers in support.
• Purchases: order number, account, what was bought, amount, currency, payment method and status. We have no bank card or wallet details: only the payment service receives them.
• Technical data: IP address, browser and device in the server logs; signs of cheating noticed by the game's protection; a device report (graphics card, errors, a frame snapshot) — only if you sent it with the button in the game settings.
• Moderation: sanctions (mute, ban) with their reason and term, and a log of moderators' and admins' actions.

Why

• To run the game: sign-in, saving progress, multiplayer, races, records.
• To credit purchases and sort out disputed payments.
• To give you back access to your account if you forget the password.
• To protect the game from cheats, fraud and rule breaking.
• To answer support requests and fix bugs and performance on different devices.

There are no ads and no ad tracking in the game or on the site. We do not sell data and do not pass it to ad networks.

What other players see

Your nickname, level, car and its livery, position in the game world, chat messages, records, published screenshots and replays, questions in support. Your public profile (real-drift.com/player/nickname) can be hidden on your account page. Other players do not see your email, Telegram, balance or purchases.

Location

We do not ask for access to your device's location. You pick the city in the game yourself on the world map. On the site's main page an approximate city is worked out from your IP address (Cloudflare data or the GeoLite2 database) to suggest starting the game nearby; it is not stored.

Cookies and browser storage

• rd_sess — signing in on the site (account page, donations, admin); removed when you sign out or after a while without activity.
• user_lang — the site language you chose.
• donate_cur — the currency of prices on the donation page.
• The game keeps its settings and a sign-in key in the browser so it does not ask for the password every time.

We set no advertising or analytics cookies of third-party services.

Third-party services

• Cloudflare delivers the site and the game and protects them from attacks; requests and IP addresses pass through it.
• Payment services: MyPay, our own USDT gateway, Microsoft Store, Google Play. Payments happen with them, under their rules and privacy policies.
• Google Fonts — the site's fonts load from Google's servers.
• YouTube — the video player loads only after you press it, from the youtube-nocookie.com domain.
• Telegram — if you linked the bot for access recovery.
• Email — letters for access recovery and address confirmation.

Apart from these cases, data goes to third parties only when the law requires it.

How long we keep it

• Account and progress — while the account exists.
• Orders — as long as needed for payment accounting, refunds and disputes.
• Server logs — for a limited time, then deleted automatically.
• Moderation log — while it is needed to deal with violations and complaints.

Your rights

• You can change your password, nickname, email, Telegram and profile visibility on your account page on the site.
• You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction or deletion of your account: write to [email protected] from the email linked to the account, or give your nickname and a way to confirm the account is yours.
• We answer within 30 days. The account and its data are deleted within 30 days after confirmation; payment records stay as long as accounting requires.
• If you live in the EU, the UK or another country with similar laws, you have other rights under local law too (for example, to object to processing or to complain to a supervisory authority).

Children

The game is not meant for children under 13. If a child under that age has created an account, a parent can write to [email protected] and the account will be deleted.

Security

Passwords are stored only as a strong hash (scrypt). The site and the game work over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Moderators and admins see only what their work needs, and every action they take is logged.

Changes

When the policy changes, the new version appears on this page with a new date. We announce significant changes in the news or in the game.
