Guest play and co-op do not require an account. An eligible SOLO round (three minutes, Normal difficulty, designated rule release) creates an anonymous ticket. Perth News processes the operation, update-time and pause log, receipt time, rule release and Web/iOS/Android source to verify the result. Existing device records, co-op and practice cannot enter.
You may connect an existing Perth News account, register by email or use Google sign-in. We process member ID, email verification, public nickname, confirmed language, an age-18-or-over declaration, campaign rules and separate sender-specific newsletter consent and withdrawal records, including wording version, time, language, acquisition source, IP and browser information. We do not collect a birth date. New game-origin registrations and existing members’ first game use are recorded separately. Apple sign-in is currently disabled.
Only nickname, score and rank are public. Perth News and Hifumiya subscriptions are separate and may be stopped through each email’s unsubscribe link or game account settings. Withdrawal stops new entries while preserving accepted entries and earned rewards. SendGrid (Twilio) processes separate mailing lists, unsubscribe groups and delivery contact details. Choosing Google sign-in uses Google and the existing Perth News authentication service. Providers may process information internationally.
Initial retention limits are 30 days for operation logs, 52 weeks for ranking records and 24 months for reward/audit records, removed by scheduled maintenance. Unsubmitted expired tickets and expired authentication requests are removed. Account information is kept while you use the membership; consent and withdrawal history is retained as needed to evidence consent and prevent unwanted re-subscription. In-game account deletion deletes the entire Perth News membership, stops subscriptions, revokes game credentials and removes the public nickname/ranking. Retained reward audits are detached from the account.
Reward QR codes contain no name or email, expire in 90 seconds and require an online store redemption. Camera images are decoded on the device; only the redemption code is transmitted. Real prizes remain disabled until a prize is confirmed and a winner approved. See the campaign rules.
