Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026. This page explains what data JbayWaves.com collects and how it's used.
Paddle Out & Play Free →Overview
JbayWaves.com ("we," "us," "the site") operates JBay Wave Rider, a free browser-based surfing game. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site or play the game, and how that information is used. By using JbayWaves.com, you agree to the practices described here.
Local storage (game data)
Your high score, coin bank, unlocked surfboards, achievements, and daily streak are saved using your browser's local storage. This data stays on your own device — it is never transmitted to our servers, and we cannot see or access it. Clearing your browser's site data will reset your saved progress.
Cookies and analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are viewed and roughly how much traffic the site receives. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect standard technical data such as browser type, device type, approximate location, and pages visited. This information is aggregated and is not used to personally identify you.
Advertising
This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses this data and manage your ad personalization settings at Google's Ads Settings page. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on someone's prior visits to this website or other websites.
Third-party links
Pages on this site may link to external websites, including surfing resources, other games, or advertising partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party site linked from JbayWaves.com.
Children's privacy
JBay Wave Rider is suitable for a general audience, but the site does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because gameplay data is stored only in local browser storage and no account or personal information is required to play, no personal data is knowingly gathered from any visitor, including children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy. Questions about this policy can be sent to the address on our contact page.
