Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how GameHoard ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit gamehoard.in (the "Site"). We have designed the Site to collect as little information as possible. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
We do not require accounts or registration. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use it only to reply to you and keep it only as long as needed for that purpose.
Information stored on your device
Our games save your best scores and simple preferences (for example, sound on or off, or puzzle difficulty) in your browser's local storage. This information stays on your device; it is never sent to us. You can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider, Cloudflare, Inc., processes technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and request time in order to deliver pages securely and protect against abuse. This data is handled under Cloudflare's privacy policy. We may view aggregated, non-identifying traffic statistics.
2. Cookies and advertising
We use, or may use, Google AdSense to show advertisements. Advertising helps us keep every game free.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
- To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Where required by law (for example, for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used, through a consent message shown on the Site. You can change your choice at any time from that message or your browser settings.
We also load web fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address in order to deliver font files.
3. How we use information
- To operate, maintain and secure the Site and its games.
- To respond to your messages and support requests.
- To understand, in aggregate, which games are popular so we can improve them.
- To display advertising that funds the Site.
- To comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Children's privacy
Our games are suitable for a general audience. The Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
5. Data retention and security
Emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry. The Site is served over HTTPS with modern security headers. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect information.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the EU and UK GDPR, and US state privacy laws such as the CCPA, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to withdraw consent, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, email contact@gamehoard.in. Because we do not run accounts, most data about your gameplay exists only on your device and is under your control.
7. Third-party links
The Site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to read their policies.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly.
9. Contact
