Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This policy describes the information handled by the current Bricktopium website and game experiences. It does not describe features that have not yet launched.

1. Information you provide

When you create an account, we collect your username, password through our sign-in provider, and birthday. Username-only registration uses an internal sign-in identifier derived from your username; it is not a real email inbox. We also store your display name, biography, account creation date, and any account details you choose to save, including gender, language preference, and forum signature. A recovery email, if linked, is used for account recovery.

2. Activity and game information

We store account activity such as your latest online time, Set visits, favorites, ratings, and your studs and bricks balances. The game can capture an image of your in-game avatar for your headshot; this is a rendered avatar image, not a camera photograph. Hosting and sign-in services may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, requests, and error logs to deliver and protect the service.

3. How we use information

We use information to create and secure accounts, show profiles and creator listings, run Sets, maintain virtual balances, save preferences, support account recovery where available, and investigate errors or misuse. Depending on the activity and applicable law, processing may be necessary to provide the service, protect our legitimate interests in security and reliability, comply with legal obligations, or act on consent where required.

4. Public and private information

Your username, display name, biography, join date, and avatar headshot may appear publicly. Your latest online time may appear in the creator directory unless you hide your status. Your birthday and private account preferences are not part of your public profile. Your currency balances are accessible to your own signed-in account rather than publicly listed.

Privacy and notification settings store your choices. Some choices relate to social features that are not yet available; saving a preference does not mean that feature has launched. Future features must honor the applicable privacy choices before exposing information.

5. Browser storage and service providers

Browser storage is used to maintain your sign-in session, store essential page-recovery information, and remember your cookie preference. On your first visit you can choose essential-only storage or accept optional cookies. No optional tracking is currently enabled; new tracking purposes will need appropriate notice and consent before use. You can reopen Cookie preferences from the footer. Our hosting, account, and storage providers process information needed to operate the service. The site also requests styles and fonts from external providers; those requests may disclose your IP address and browser information to them. Depending on provider locations, information may be processed outside your country, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to address fraud, security threats, or the protection of users’ rights. Public profile information is visible to other visitors, who may copy it; avoid adding sensitive information to your public biography.

6. Your choices and rights

You can edit your display name and biography, update available preferences, hide your online status, change your password, and sign out other sessions through Settings. Your birthday is locked to protect age-based settings; it cannot be changed through the current account form.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, restrict or object to processing, or withdraw consent where processing relies on it. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. The current site does not yet include a dedicated privacy-request or account-deletion form; that limitation does not remove your legal rights.

7. Younger players

Birthdays help apply age-based protections. Accounts identified as under 13 cannot select unrestricted messaging. This setting is not a substitute for any parental consent required by law. Parents and guardians should review the service before allowing a child to provide personal information. Do not submit a child’s personal information where required consent has not been obtained.

8. Retention and security

Account records are retained while needed to provide the account and service. Security records and backups may remain for additional periods where reasonably necessary for recovery, fraud prevention, or legal obligations. We use access controls and account protections, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. Do not reuse passwords or share sign-in details.

9. Independence and future changes

Bricktopium is a separate, independent company. We are not associated with, affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by LEGO or Sink My Bricks. Our ideas and the direction of our platform are our own, although we have taken inspiration from LEGO and Sink My Bricks. References to other parties do not imply a partnership or endorsement. Their names, trademarks, and other intellectual property belong to their respective owners.

Out of respect for other parties and their rights, our avatar and some other features may change in the future. Our intention is for everything else, including Bricktopium’s independent identity and core experience, to remain the same. This is a statement of direction, not a guarantee that every feature will remain unchanged.

If future avatar or feature changes affect the information we collect or how it is used, this policy will be updated and any legally required notice or consent will be provided. The date above identifies the latest revision.
