Privacy

What this website and the Wahala game keep about you and for how long. Short version: very little.

This website

• No cookies, no scripts, no third-party trackers, no ads.
• Our web server keeps standard access logs: IP address, time, page requested, browser type and the page you came from. We keep them for 14 days to keep the site running and safe, then they are deleted.
• We count visits and clicks (for example, how many people tap "Open in Lagos Life") from those logs, with IP addresses anonymised in the counts.
• Cloudflare carries traffic to this site and protects it from attacks, so it processes your IP address while doing that.

The game

Wahala runs inside Lagos Life and in your browser. Inside Lagos Life, Lagos Life gives us a player id made just for Wahala, your display name and your avatar. We don't receive your email, phone number, location or anything that identifies you outside the game and we never try to.

In your browser, Wahala asks only for a name. Your phone keeps a random key that signs you back in and we keep only a scrambled copy of it (a hash), never the key itself. Log out in the menu removes the key from your phone; without it, that name can't be signed back in.

To run the game we keep:

• Your Wahala player id, display name and avatar (in the browser: the name you picked and the hash of your key).
• Your rounds: parks you joined, roles, outcomes and scores and a replay of each round for fair-play checks.
• Park chat, for 30 days, so reports of abuse can be checked.
• Reports, mutes and bans.
• Your coins, the coin packs you bought, the roof loads and slogans you own and records of stake parks and their results.
• Error reports from the game, with IP addresses switched off.

We don't fingerprint devices, don't link you across other games or services and don't sell or share your data. Fare and purchases are handled by Lagos Life on its own sheets. We only receive whether a payment or stake went through.

Keeping and deleting

We delete your game data when you ask, when Lagos Life asks, or if Wahala leaves Lagos Life. Records needed to settle a stake park correctly are kept only as long as the law requires. We follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and if a breach ever affects your data, we report it within 72 hours.

Privacy requests: a contact address will be published here before the game launches.
