Privacy Notice

Last updated: October 25, 2026

This notice covers viryagrid.com, its six games (Power Trader, Energy Futures, Datacenter Economy, Energy Markets Trivia, Arthashastra and BRICS) and its Grid Simulator.

What we collect

Your name, email, and country when you sign in; your game results; and anything you send us by email.

Email codes

To play a game or open the simulator, you verify your email with a 6-digit code sent from contact@viryagrid.com. A code expires after 10 minutes and is stored only in scrambled form.

Why

To give you access, run the leaderboards, understand who uses these games, and reply to you. We may email you about Virya Grid updates, events, and offers. You can unsubscribe anytime.

Sharing

We share your name, email, and country with Virya Grid’s partners and sponsors, who may then email you, only if you tick the optional sharing box when you sign in. It starts unticked, and you can sign in without it. Your latest sign-in sets your choice, and you can withdraw it at any time by signing in with the box unticked or by emailing us. Our hosting (Netlify), database (Supabase) and email (Hostinger) providers also process your information on our behalf.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell your information. Sharing with partners and sponsors happens only when you tick the sharing box. To opt out, sign in again with the box unticked, or email contact@viryagrid.com with the subject “Do not sell or share” and we will record the opt-out against your email.

GDPR (EU, UK, and Switzerland)

Sharing with partners and sponsors rests on your consent through that box, which is never a condition of access. You can withdraw your consent, unsubscribe, or ask us to delete your information at any time.

CCPA (California)

We share your contact details with sponsors only if you tick the sharing box. You can opt out of this sharing, or ask us to delete your information, at any time.

Your browser

After you verify your email, your browser keeps a signed sign-in cookie for 7 days that covers every viryagrid.com game and the simulator; it holds no name or email. Clearing your cookies signs you out but does not delete our record. Virya Intelligence at viryaintel.com has its own sign-in. Games keep your settings and stats on your device.

What’s public

Leaderboards show your player name, country, and score. Your email is never shown. BRICS keeps its scoreboard on your device.

Abuse prevention

Sign-ins, codes, and game results are rate-limited using scrambled forms of your email and IP address, kept for one hour.

How long

Records are deleted about 12 to 13 months after your last sign-in.

Your choices

To see, correct, or delete your information, email contact@viryagrid.com. We respond within 30 days.
