What we collect

When you create an account we store your email address, username, and a hashed password. We also store content you contribute — game submissions, venue listings, verifications, and comments. We log basic analytics (page views, referrers) to understand traffic. No tracking pixels or third-party cookies are used.

What we never do

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for commercial purposes. Ever. Your email address is used only to send you account-related messages (verification, password reset). We do not run ads or affiliate programs.

Disclaimer of liability

ArcadeFinder is a community-maintained directory. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or safety of any information on the site — including machine availability, pricing, or venue details. Use of this site is entirely at your own risk. We are not responsible for any loss, damage, or disappointment arising from information found here.

Venue and game listings

All venue and game information is contributed by community members and is provided in good faith. If you are the owner of a venue or game and would like it removed from the site, contact us and we will remove it promptly. We respect removal requests and do not require you to prove ownership — your word is enough.

Takedown requests

If any content on ArcadeFinder — a game listing, venue entry, photo, or comment — relates to you and you want it removed, send us a message. Include the name of the listing and a brief description of your connection to it. We will remove it without question.

Data retention

If you delete your account, your personal information is removed. Content you contributed (game entries, verifications) may remain in anonymised form to preserve the integrity of the community record, unless you request full removal.

Your rights and data deletion

You can delete your account and all personal data at any time from within the app. Go to your profile page, tap Edit profile, and scroll to Delete account. Deletion is immediate and permanent. Content you contributed (verifications, placement photos) may remain in anonymised form unless you request full removal.

If you need help deleting your account or want all associated content removed, contact us and we will process the request within 30 days.

Sign in with Apple

If you use Sign in with Apple, we receive a unique Apple User ID and, optionally, an email address (which may be a private relay address). We store the Apple User ID to associate your account with your Apple identity. We do not store your Apple ID password or any other Apple account details. Deleting your ArcadeFinder account removes the stored Apple User ID.
