Blocked In, a TruckerVerse puzzle
Privacy notice
Draft for review. This text is waiting for review by counsel before the public launch. Translations are convenience copies: until a translation has been reviewed, the English text prevails.
This notice explains what Blocked In processes about you, why, for how long, and what your rights are. It covers the three ways to play: as a professional driver with a TruckerVerse account, with a game account, and with "Just play", without any account. It covers the game at game.truckerverse.app, the start page at truckerverse.game and a test address we give our testers.
If the first screen of the game offers only "Just play" (on a new game, perhaps with the small link "I have a progress code", which reads a code on your phone and sends nothing), the online features are not switched on in the version you use. The game then sends us nothing that identifies you, apart from what every website receives: the host of the game, Netlify, Inc. (United States), our processor, processes technical connection data such as your IP address to deliver it (see "Who receives data"). In this early version the game itself sends nothing to TruckerVerse: no account, no results, no error reports and no answers to "Tell us what you think" in Settings (see "Error reports" and "Your opinion" below). "Write to us" only opens your email app. Your progress stays on your phone. Links you share carry only what "Help, relay and solution links" describes, and every link from the game to the TruckerVerse app carries how your phone first arrived (see "How you arrived"). We do not receive personal data from Netlify; we only see totals, such as the number of visits per day (see "Visits to our web addresses"). Only the parts of this notice about "Just play", these lines, the server logs and the host of the game, emails you send us and your phone apply.
- No ads, no advertising trackers and no location. Visitor statistics with Google Analytics only if you tap Accept.
- "Just play" needs no account and never sends your name, number or any other identifier.
- An account is optional. A driver account is your TruckerVerse account; a game account is separate from the TruckerVerse app.
- Your year of birth is checked on your phone and never sent.
- We never sell your data and never share it for advertising.
- The company field is optional and needs your consent. We never tell a company which driver named it.
1. Who is responsible
The controller is XS AI BV, Belgium, registered seat Fabriekstraat 38, 2547 Lint, enterprise number BE 1039.724.489.
Privacy questions and requests: hello@truckerverse.app.
Blocked In is part of TruckerVerse. If you play with a driver account, your TruckerVerse account is held by the TruckerVerse app of the same company; the app's own privacy notice on truckerverse.app covers what the app does with it.
2. What we process for each way to play
"Just play" (no account)
- On your phone only: your progress, settings and play days, your best clear of each lot with its tap times (kept so it can count if you make an account later), and the codes of the challenges you sent.
- When you share a challenge: a random 16-character code, the level or day, your result (stars, bumps and your time; your friend sees the time only if your clock is shown), the tap log so our server can check the result, how you shared it (picture, text, link, clip, passport or truck stop), and the day you first played on this phone. Your phone makes the code from a random secret and sends the secret with it, so our server can check that the code came from your phone; our server does not keep the secret. Your phone also gets a one-time key, so that only your phone can see how many people played your lot and collect a reward when a friend signs up through your challenge and then clears the first stretch (see "Friends who join through you").
- When you open a friend's challenge: the code, whether this is the first time your phone opens it and whether you are new to the game. When you clear it, the number of stars.
- Country cards: the country and the language, to show the matching cards from the TruckerVerse app. Not stored.
- New-player count: once per phone, the day, the language and how you arrived (for example through a shared link). We add 1 to a weekly counter and store nothing else. This count is switched on only after our legal review has confirmed it; until then nothing is sent.
None of this includes your name, phone number, email address or an account identifier.
How you arrived. When a link to the game carries a campaign name (for example "landing" on the play link of our start page), the game keeps that name on your phone and sends it with a challenge you share and when you make an account. It names a link, never you. The game also keeps on your phone how it first arrived there, as one word from a fixed list (a link someone shared, a help, relay or solution link, the Insiders group, the TruckerVerse app, our start page, a social network, a paid advertisement, or directly), and every link from the game to the TruckerVerse app carries that word. It names a kind of link, never you or the person who shared it.
Links to the TruckerVerse app. When a friend's challenge brought you to the game, every link from the game to the TruckerVerse app carries that challenge's code, so the app can count the invitation.
Link to the shop. The link next to a livery you earned takes you to the TruckerVerse shop (truckerverse.shop) in a new tab and carries only the campaign words utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign, never a player identifier; the shop's own privacy notice applies there.
Help, relay and solution links. When you ask a friend for help with a level, start a relay, share a level or a daily parking, or send a solution back, the link itself carries the level (or the daily parking), for a help or relay request a random request number, and, for a solution, the order of your taps and the look of your truck. It carries no name, no account and no time. That part of the link comes after the # sign, so it never reaches our server; the word share, help, relay or watch in the link does, like any address you open (see "Visits to our web addresses" and the server logs). Your phone keeps the requests you sent and the ones you opened, to recognise the answers. With the game connected to TruckerVerse, a help or relay link also carries a challenge code (below), also after the # sign.
Links to the TruckerVerse app and shop. The start page of truckerverse.game also links to the website of the TruckerVerse app (truckerverse.app) and to the TruckerVerse shop (truckerverse.shop, which runs on Shopify). They are plain links: nothing is loaded from those sites until you tap one, and then their own privacy rules apply there. The link adds only three fixed campaign tags (utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign), the same for everyone, that say the visit came from this part of the Blocked In start page. Nothing about you is added.
Rankings and team score. When the game is connected to TruckerVerse, it asks our server at each start whether the rankings and the team score are open, and on the home screen it fetches the team score at most every 10 minutes. These requests carry no account and no identifier of your phone.
Level statistics (every way to play). When the game is connected to TruckerVerse, it counts for each level and each daily parking how many attempts were started, finished and started again, per game day, and sends these numbers in batches. A batch holds only the level or the day, the game day and the three numbers: no account, no identifier of your phone, no code, and it is sent without your sign-in. Our server adds them to totals per level and game day and does not keep your IP address with them. These totals are not linked to your account, your phone or your results. Until a batch is sent, the numbers wait on your phone.
Headlight flashes, coffee and the daily counts. If you clear a friend's challenge, help request or relay, you can flash your headlights, and a friend whose request you cleared can give you a coffee. Our server notes this on the anonymous open of that link, never with a name or an account; your friend sees only how many. Your phone asks our server, with the open's code, whether a coffee arrived. When you clear today's daily parking for the first time on this phone, or flash your headlights on it, the game sends the game day and a random number that our server keeps in its memory for at most two days, only so each counts once; to cap how often one network can count, our server also keeps a count per network address and day in its memory for at most two days, never in a table. The totals per day are kept without any identifier and shown in the game from 10 up.
Error reports (every way to play). When something goes wrong in the game, it sends a short report to the host of the game: the game version, a code for the place in the game where it happened, the type of error, a short fingerprint of the error message (not the message itself), the screen, whether the game is connected to TruckerVerse, the kind of browser (for example "iPhone, from the home screen") and the game day. At most five per visit. No name, no account, no identifier of your phone and no address of a page. In this early version this is switched off: the game sends no error reports.
Day line (switched off). Only once our legal review has confirmed it, the game sends one short line per day you played: the game day, how many days since your first day (in groups: 0, 1, 2 to 6, 7, 8 to 29, 30 and more), whether you played between 22:00 and 04:59, and in which of six parts of 4 hours of the day. No account, no identifier of your phone, sent without your sign-in. Our server adds it to totals and does not keep your IP address with them. Until then nothing is sent.
Your opinion (every way to play). When you answer "Tell us what you think" in Settings, the game sends one short line to the host of the game: your answer (good, OK or not great), the topic you chose (a level, a text or translation, or something else), the level or daily parking it is about if you chose a level, the language of the game and the game version. At most one answer per visit. No free text, no name, no account and no identifier of your phone. In this early version this is switched off: the game sends no answers.
Statistics with Google Analytics (only after you accept). By day, the home screen of the game and the start page show a small box about cookies for visitor statistics. Until you tap Accept, nothing goes to Google: no Google script is loaded, nothing is counted and no cookie is set. If you tap Decline, or never answer, it stays that way. If you tap Accept, the game loads Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) and sets analytics cookies on your device. Google then receives your visit, the screens you open, the game's own counts (a session starts, a level or the daily parking is started or cleared, a share, and a few more of the same fixed list, each with a few fixed values such as the level number, the stars or the game language) and what every website receives: your IP address, which Google Analytics uses to work out your approximate region and does not store, and your browser and device type. It never receives your name, phone number, email address or account data. Shared-lot, help and relay codes are removed from the address before Google loads. In the game, between 22:00 and 04:59, the box does not appear and nothing is counted. Google keeps the data in our account for at most 14 months and may process it outside the EU under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The basis is your consent (GDPR article 6(1)(a) and article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive), which you can withdraw at any time: change my cookie choice removes your choice and the analytics cookies on this device. Advertising storage stays off and there is no advertising pixel.
Visits to our web addresses. For the game at game.truckerverse.app, we receive no personal data from Netlify, our host; we only see totals, such as the number of visits per day. We write no visit lines of our own.
When you write to us. If you email hello@truckerverse.app, for example with "Write to us" in Settings, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach, and use them only to answer you. Our mailbox is hosted by Google.
Game account (email and password, 16 or older)
- Your email address, your password (stored only as a hash), your language, the date you confirmed you are 16 or older, which version of the terms and of this notice you accepted and when, and the date of your last sign-in.
- Your progress, synced across phones (stars, coins, liveries and garage parts, My cab, passport stamps with the day each was earned, truck stop upgrades, bonus flags, the countries where you saw an ADR or reefer card from the TruckerVerse app, settings); your checked results with their tap logs and the day each reached our server; the day you first played, on the phone you first signed in with; the challenges you shared and how many people played them; game rewards from friends you invited; your generated league name; and, if you join a league, your membership and weekly results.
- Your generated league name and a badge, Driver or Player (you can hide the badge in Settings), are shown next to your stars of the week in your league and, if you turn on the ranking with your friends, to your friends: the people whose challenge you cleared or who cleared yours, who signed up through a challenge between you, and the members of your convoy. They see your name, your badge and your stars of this week. A league's rows update during the day, so the people in your league can see your stars of today; your friends see them up to yesterday's daily parking, and on a Monday those of the previous week. If you turn on "Show my name on challenges I send", whoever opens a challenge you send sees your generated name and your badge on it.
- Your checked daily parkings count, together with everyone else's, in a weekly average per team (Drivers vs Players). Nobody sees your part in it.
Friends who join through you. When someone makes an account through a link you shared, the sign-up keeps that link's challenge code, as for every challenge (120 days from your share). If they then clear the first ten levels on at least two days within those 120 days, you get a reward and they get a welcome gift: our server checks their results against that rule after each result they send and, once they meet it, writes your reward without their name or account. At most ten rewards for each month in which they are earned (without an account: per phone; your game receives the month each reward was earned to keep that limit, and shows only the count). To keep that limit, our server notes for the current month that you (or, if you shared without an account, the link you shared) received a reward and the day, without naming them. Because your reward and their welcome gift are written at the same moment, the two can be matched by their day and order for as long as both rewards are kept. On their account it notes the day they met the rule. You see only how many people found the game through you, without names; if you sent the link to one person only, you may be able to tell who it was. They see nothing new about you.
If you joined through a friend's link. If you made your account through a link a friend shared, our server checks your results against the same rule for as long as that link counts (at most 120 days from the share) and, once you meet it, gives you a welcome gift and tells your friend's game, without your name, that someone who started through their link cleared the first stretch. Your friend sees only a count.
- Coins for helping. If you clear a friend's help request with an account, our server checks the result and gives you a few coins, at most three times a week. It keeps which request you helped with and the day, until that request's link is deleted after 120 days.
- A game account is never a TruckerVerse app account. It never counts as a driver in the TruckerVerse app and never earns app points.
Driver account (phone number and SMS code, 18 or older, professional driver)
- Signing up in the game creates your TruckerVerse account, or signs you in to the account you already have: your phone number, the SMS code (valid for a short time), an optional name, your language, the region of your country code, your founding number while numbers are left, and the fact that you came from the game (and, if you came through a challenge, its code).
- In the game, the same data as a game account, plus app points: +10 for the daily of the current game day (once a game day), +25 once per finished country, and +30 when a friend you invited signs up as a professional driver with an SMS code (released after 24 hours). The +10 and +25 from the game count in your points total, but never in a ranking or a prize draw of the TruckerVerse app. The +30 is the app's own reward for an invitation and counts like any other invitation.
- Your convoy card shows your convoy's rank in the TruckerVerse app and one shared weekly goal. Nothing is shown per member.
- Your game results and app points are linked to your TruckerVerse account.
- Convoy mudflaps. If your driver account is in an app convoy, your garage gets mudflaps with your convoy's emblem: a pattern our server draws from your convoy's number, never its name. When you fit them, the pattern shows on your truck and on the cards you share, so people who know the pattern can see that you drive in that convoy.
- Convoy route. Each day you clear the daily parking with a driver account, your app convoy moves one step along the route. Our server keeps the convoy's total, which day you counted (for two days, so you count once a day) and which convoy stamps you received. Other members see only the total. The total moves only when a game day is over, so it never shows when someone played today.
- Name board. If you have a driver account and turn on the name board in My cab, your driver number is shown without its region in your cab only, never on a card you share. The choice stays on this phone; the game does not send it.
- Parking location (switched off). Only with a driver account and only if you turn it on in Settings. When you tap that you are parked, your phone works out the 25 km square you are in and sends that square, the game day, a three-hour band and a random number that makes the tap count once, never your exact position. The tap goes with your driver account, so our server can check that you turned this on and count one tap per driver a day; the code that counts it is made from your account and the day and stays in the server's memory for at most 36 hours, never in a table, and a fingerprint of the random number is kept for 2 days. We store a count per square, day and band, without your account, number, phone or IP address. We use a square only after 7 days and only when it holds at least 10 counts, for the TruckerVerse parking map and for reports we may share with partners. We keep your choice and the day you made it with your account, to show your consent; turning it off removes them.
- Optional and off by default: if you switch on "Ask me to test new things", we keep that choice and its date and may invite you to try something new through the TruckerVerse app or by SMS to your number. Never for anything else. Switch it off at any time.
3. The company field (optional)
- In the garage, driver and game accounts can fill in "Which company do you drive for?". It is saved only after you tick a separate box: TruckerVerse may use this company name to contact that company about TruckerVerse.
- Legal basis: your consent (GDPR article 6(1)(a)). We store the name, the version and language of the consent text, and the time.
- What a company never learns: we never tell a company which driver named it, we never say that it was named in the game, we never give a count, and the name is never shown to other players or in any product for employers. For contact with companies we use company names per week, without any person attached. We never use it for profiling.
- Withdraw at any time: "Remove company" in the garage clears the name and the consent at once. Any contact we had prepared from it and not yet sent is deleted within 30 days. Withdrawing does not affect what was done before.

| Checking results by replaying the taps; preventing cheating and SMS abuse; security | Legitimate interest, article 6(1)(f) |
| Keeping leagues fair: once a week our server looks at the timing of the checked daily parkings that count in a league you play with a driver account (how fast your first clear of a day is, how even the gaps between your taps are, how close your clears come to the fastest we believe a person can tap). A week that looks automated is ranked apart from the other players in the standings we keep for that week; nothing is shown next to your name and you keep your stars, coins and points. | Legitimate interest, article 6(1)(f): rankings decided by people, not by scripts. You can object at hello@truckerverse.app. |
| Measuring whether shared challenges bring new players, as counts per week without names | Legitimate interest, article 6(1)(f) |
| Measuring how often drivers with an account play, as counts per week and per cohort without names | Legitimate interest, article 6(1)(f) |

| The company field | Consent, article 6(1)(a) |
We do not use your data for advertising. The weekly fairness check above is the only automated assessment of how you play; it decides only in which standings your week counts. A decision with legal or similar effects for you is always taken by a person, who tells you why and to whom you can reply.
5. How long we keep it
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| SMS codes, sign-up tickets, password reset links, app sign-in codes | Until used or expired: SMS codes 10 to 60 minutes, sign-up tickets 15 minutes, reset links 60 minutes, app sign-in codes 60 seconds |
| Phone number | As long as your TruckerVerse account exists |
| Game account | Until you delete it, or after 24 months without a sign-in. We send an email 30 days before, and signing in keeps the account. |
| Tap logs of results | 90 days; the checked result stays with your account |
| League membership and weekly results | 12 weeks |
| Challenge codes, their opens, and the code linked to a sign-up | 120 days, and until the weekly count of that week is written and any reward is settled; then deleted. The weekly counts hold no code and no identifier and are kept. Of a deleted code our server keeps only a fingerprint (SHA-256) and nothing else, so the game can say that an old link can't be opened any more |
| Counts of how often drivers play (per week, and per cohort: the drivers who started in the same week) | Not stored: worked out each time the report is opened from the day each result of a driver account reached our server, the game day each daily parking counts for and, for a driver without such a result yet, the day the driver first played; those days stay with the results and the account |
| Level statistics | Totals per level and game day, without any identifier; kept |
| Error reports | Nothing is sent in this early version, so nothing is kept |
| Campaign name and how a challenge was shared | With the challenge (120 days) |
| Weekly team averages | Kept, no person in them |
| Day line totals | Kept, without any identifier |
| Answers to "Tell us what you think" | Nothing is sent in this early version, so nothing is kept |
| Emails you send us | Until your question is answered, then at most 12 months |
| The page lines of "Visits to our web addresses" | No page lines are kept; the totals we see, such as visits per day: kept, no person in them |
| Friends who join through you | The link's code on the sign-up, 120 days from the share (as every challenge); who received a first-stretch reward and the day, without the friend's name (the two rewards can be matched, see "Friends who join through you"), until the end of that month; your rewards and the day your own first stretch was met, until the account is deleted |
| Flashes and coffee on an open | With the challenge (120 days) |
| Help credits | With the challenge (120 days) |
| Convoy route | Convoy days: two days; convoy stamps: until the account is deleted; the convoy's total: kept, no person in it; how many members counted the daily parking of the game day still running (a number, no names): two game days |
| The random number of a first clear or a headlight flash on the daily parking, and the count per network address and day | In our server's memory, at most two days, never written to a table |
| Daily totals of first clears and flashes | Kept, no person in them |
| Parking location (switched off) | The counts per square, day and band: 24 months, no person in them; your choice and its day: while your account exists or until you turn it off; the fingerprint of the random number that makes a tap count once: 2 days; the code made from your account and the day that counts one tap per driver a day: at most 36 hours, in the server's memory, never in a table |
| The fairness check of a league week (whether it was ranked apart, which kinds of timing stood out, any review by a person) | 12 weeks; while a review you asked for is open, until it is settled and at most 12 months |
| Research choice | Until you switch it off or delete the account |
| Company field | Until you remove it or delete your account; prepared contacts not yet sent are deleted within 30 days |
| Server logs (including IP address and browser type) | Handled by Netlify, our processor; we do not receive them |
| Backups | Copies are erased within 30 days after a deletion |
6. Who receives data
- The host of the game, Netlify, Inc. (United States), our processor: delivers the game files, including the game's settings file. To do so, Netlify processes technical connection data such as your IP address. We do not receive personal data from Netlify; we only see totals, such as the number of visits per day. If you use the TruckerVerse app in the same browser, your browser may also send the cookies its pages set for truckerverse.app with each request for the game's files, so they can reach Netlify; the game itself does not read them.
- The EU hosting provider of the TruckerVerse app (servers in Germany): stores accounts and game data.
- Twilio: sends the SMS code (your phone number and the code).
- Brevo: sends the password reset email and the email before an inactive game account is deleted (your email address).
- Google: hosts the mailbox hello@truckerverse.app (the emails you send us).
- Where a provider is outside the European Economic Area, the transfer is covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
- There are no advertising trackers in the game; the only analytics is Google Analytics, and only after you tap Accept (see "Statistics with Google Analytics"). Sign-ups made in the game send no sign-up event to Meta or to any other advertising or analytics service. On the TruckerVerse app's own pages, the app's cookie choices apply, including Meta's pixel if you accepted it there. We never sell player data.
- Other players see only your generated name, your badge and your stars in your league, where your stars of today show during the day, and, if you turn it on, in the ranking with your friends; and on challenges you send, your result, with your generated name and your badge if you turned that on. Never your phone number, email address, company or name in the app.
7. What is stored on your phone
The game stores your save and settings, the codes of challenges you sent and opened, the help and relay requests you sent (at most 100) and the ones you opened (at most 10), with the taps of a clear you can still send back, which new parts of the game you were already told about, whether the rankings tab was already shown, in which countries you already saw an ADR or reefer card from the TruckerVerse app, the game day of Lena's last line on a finish sheet, items waiting to be sent, the level statistics not sent yet (at most 200 lines, none older than 30 days), and, when you are signed in, a session token with a copy of your account (number, company, points), in your browser's local storage, and its own files in the offline cache. When the game is connected to TruckerVerse, it also keeps the codes of challenges you opened with their open codes (at most 50), the day this phone last counted a first clear of the daily parking, the day this phone last flashed its headlights on the daily parking, and which reply cards you closed (at most 50). Your choice about counting where you park (switched off), with the day you made it, the day the game last asked whether you are parked on the road (at most once a game day) and whether the game already offered it, is kept the same way. All of this is needed for the game you asked for. One item is not needed to play: how your phone first arrived at the game, one word from a fixed list, kept only so that links from the game to the TruckerVerse app say which kind of link brought you (see "How you arrived"). It holds no identifier, we can switch it off for everyone without an update, and Reset erases it. Your choice in the statistics box (Accept or Decline) is kept in your browser's local storage, so the box does not ask again; Google Analytics sets its own cookies only after you tap Accept. Other game events counted during a visit (not the level statistics) stay in the phone's memory and go only to Google Analytics, and only after you tap Accept. "Reset progress" in Settings (when signed out) erases your progress and play days, your best clear of each lot, the stars of your daily parkings, your relay marks, cups, Co-Driver pennants and convoy stamps (they are progress), the results waiting to be sent, the copy of the old save, the campaign name you arrived with, how your phone first arrived, the help and relay requests you opened, the name-board choice, the countries where you saw an ADR or reefer card from the TruckerVerse app, the day of Lena's last line, the day this phone last flashed its headlights on the daily parking, which reply cards you closed, your choice about counting where you park and the note on a sign-in through a link (below). It keeps your settings, your choice on the first screen, whether you already went through the first steps, whether the rankings tab was already shown, which TruckerVerse cards you were already shown, what the game already told you about, the codes of challenges you sent and opened, the open codes of the challenges you opened, the day this phone last counted a first clear of the daily parking, the help and relay requests you sent, the challenge that brought you, the other items waiting to be sent, the level statistics not sent yet and the day the new-player count was sent, if it was. Clearing the site data in your browser erases everything.
Before an update changes the format of your save, the game keeps one copy of the old save on your phone, until the next such update or until you reset. It also keeps a short copy of your language choice for a faster start, the last settings file of the game with the messages from it that you closed, and, for the length of a visit, the time it last installed an update. When the game runs from your home screen, it asks your browser not to clear this storage on its own. A progress code is made on your phone from your save and goes only where you paste it or send it yourself; when a friend's challenge brought you to the game, the code also holds that challenge's share code, so the invitation still counts in the game where you paste it.
The start page of truckerverse.game does not read anything the game keeps on your phone; it remembers on your phone only the choices you make on it, such as the language and the light or dark look. Nothing about it is sent. Your stars of each daily parking you played are kept on your phone with your progress.
When you sign in through a link, the game remembers on your phone for which account the question about what you played here is still open, or for which account you kept it on this phone, until you add it, sign in on this phone yourself, or reset.
