Privacy Policy

PlayArcade is built with Astro and served as pre-built static files (no server-side application, no database). There is no sign-up, no login, and no way to submit content to us. Every page you visit is the same for every visitor: nothing here is personalized based on an account, because there are no accounts.

Where a game saves progress, a score, or a board state, it is saved using your browser’s own LocalStorage, a storage mechanism built into your browser that keeps data on your device only. This data is never sent to us, never leaves your device, and we have no access to it. Clearing your browser data or using a different browser/device will reset it.

This site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic (how many visits, which pages, which countries). It is a cookieless analytics tool: it does not set tracking cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not build a profile of you across visits or across other websites. It reports anonymized, aggregate counts only. If this changes to a different analytics tool in the future, this policy will be updated to say so before that tool goes live.

Google AdSense is planned for this site but is not active yet as of the date above: no ad network currently serves ads or sets ad-related cookies here. This section describes what will be true once AdSense is enabled, so this policy stays accurate on that day without needing a rewrite: AdSense and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve ads and measure their performance, including showing you ads based on your browsing activity (personalized ads).

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, personalized advertising cookies will only be set after you have given consent through this site’s consent management platform (CMP), a consent prompt that appears before any such cookie is set, in line with Google’s EEA/UK consent requirements. You can change your choice at any time by reopening that prompt. Visitors outside those regions may see non-personalized ads governed by AdSense’s own policies without a separate prompt from this site, consistent with applicable local law.

LocalStorage (game progress): always on, stays on your device, not a tracking cookie, not shared with us.

Analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics): cookieless by design, no consent prompt needed for it.

Advertising cookies (Google AdSense): not present today; once enabled, gated behind the CMP consent prompt for EEA/UK/Switzerland visitors as described above.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data processed about you, to restrict or object to that processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time (which does not affect processing that already happened under a prior valid consent). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, or with any privacy question, contact appkadag@gmail.com.

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and it will be removed, though given this site has no accounts or submission forms, this is not expected to occur through normal use of the site.

If what this site does with data changes (a new analytics tool, AdSense going live, anything else), this page will be updated and the "last updated" date above will change. Check back periodically if you want to stay current.
