Privacy policy

Who we are

nitrotype.shop is a small, fan-made shop for Nitro Type cosmetics. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Nitro Type. Questions about this policy go through the support form; our reply shows on your Account page.

What we keep, and why

Your Nitro Type account

Your Nitro Type username, display name and user ID, which Nitro Type shows publicly on your profile. We use them to check payments, deliver what you buy to the right account, and verify that an account is yours (with a friend request or a small NT Cash check).

Your nitrotype.shop account

Your password, stored only as a scrambled hash we can't read, when the account was made and last signed in, and the cart you save on it.

Orders and keys

What you bought, when, and for how much NT Cash, including gifts (the Nitro Type username you sent them to). Each key notes which browsers it's been added on, using a random ID made by .SHOP, not anything about you or your device.

Support requests and suggestions

What you write to us and our replies, and any design or idea you send with Suggest an item!. Please don't put contact details or personal information in a message: we don't need them.

What other players see

The emoji, name colour, name style and car animation you switch on in .SHOP are shown with your Nitro Type username to other players who use .SHOP. That's the point of them. Switch any of them off in .SHOP and they stop showing.

Spam protection

Your IP address is held in memory for a short time to stop spam and repeated sign-in attempts. We don't save it. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs.

Cookies and browser storage

The only cookie is the one that keeps you signed in, for up to 30 days. It's needed for the site to work, so there's nothing to accept or turn off. nitrotype.shop also keeps your cart and an open checkout in your browser.

On Nitro Type, .SHOP (the .SHOP for Nitro Type browser extension, or the Tampermonkey script) keeps your keys, your themes' settings and a copy of your theme's look in your browser, so themes load instantly. It reads which Nitro Type account is logged in (its user ID) so each account only gets what it owns, and it talks only to nitrotype.shop: to check your keys (with that user ID and the browser's random ID), to see what you own, and to show everyone's emoji, name colour and style. Nothing else about you or your browsing is collected, none of it is used to track you, and none of it is sold or shared.

Who else handles it

• Render runs the site.
• GitHub keeps a private copy of the shop's records, so nothing is lost when the site restarts.
• Google delivers order and support notifications to the shop's own inbox. Nothing is ever emailed to you.

Fonts and pictures are served from nitrotype.shop itself. Nothing on the site loads from ad or analytics companies.

Kids

Lots of Nitro Type players are under 13, and the shop is built for that. We don't ask anyone for an email address, phone number, real name, address or any other way to contact them, and support replies stay on the site. What we keep is the Nitro Type username and what's needed to run an order.

Parents: to delete your child's account and everything we keep with it, sign in to it and use Delete my account on the Account page, or send a support request from it and we'll do it for you.

How long we keep it, and deleting it

Your account, support requests and suggestions stay until you delete your account. Delete my account on the Account page removes them for good. Records of orders and payments stay, because NT Cash sent and received has to add up; they hold Nitro Type usernames and amounts, nothing more. Keys keep working on the Nitro Type account they were bought for.

You can see everything tied to your account on your Account page. For anything else, use the support form.

Changes

If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
