Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 3, 2026

The short version: the game keeps your save on your own computer. The only thing that ever leaves it is what you choose to post in the optional in-game chat. There are no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no accounts, and nothing is sold to anyone.

On your computer

Your saved game, settings and progress are stored on your own device and never uploaded by the game. (If you play through a store that offers cloud saves, such as Steam Cloud, that store may copy your save file to sync it between your computers, under its own privacy policy.)

The in-game chat

Chat is optional and only connects when you open the Chat app on the SharkPad. When you use it, our chat server receives and stores:

A random player ID the game makes up the first time you open Chat. It isn't linked to your name, email, store account or device.
The chat name and avatar you pick (a generated name like "LuckyOtter42" and a face number).
The messages you send and any tickets you share or claim. The last 100 messages are kept so people who join later can read them.
Reports. If someone reports a message, that message and the reporter's player ID are kept so we can moderate.
A scrambled form of your IP address (a one-way hash). It's used only to stop spam, enforce daily limits and keep banned players out. The real address isn't stored.

Chat messages are public to everyone playing. Please don't post personal information. Offensive messages and links are blocked automatically, and players who break the rules can be banned.

What we don't do

No advertising, analytics or tracking of any kind.
No selling or sharing of data with anyone.
No collection of real names, emails, locations, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.
No real-money purchases or gambling. All gambling in the game is simulated with in-game money.

Children

77-36 isn't made for children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect anything from them. The chat collects no personal information, but if you believe a child has posted something personal, contact us and we'll remove it.

Removing your chat data

Chat history rolls over on its own as new messages arrive. To have messages from your player ID removed sooner, contact us with your chat name and roughly when you posted.
