1. Information We Collect
We’re a lean operation focused on delivering unblocked games, not harvesting data. Here’s what we might collect:
- Usage Data: When you play games or browse our site, we may collect basic info like your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This helps us understand how our site is used and keep it running smoothly.
- Personalization Data: If you create an account to track achievements or badges, we might ask for a username or email (optional). This stays minimal—just enough to save your progress.
- Cookies & Tracking: We use cookies or similar tech (e.g., Google Analytics) to improve your experience, like remembering your light/dark mode preference or analyzing site traffic. These are standard and don’t identify you personally.
- Third-Party Ads: Our site is free thanks to ads. Ad providers may collect data (e.g., IP or browsing habits) to serve relevant ads, but we don’t control their practices—see their policies for details.
We don’t collect sensitive stuff like your real name, address, or payment info unless you explicitly provide it (and we’d only ask if absolutely necessary).
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data helps us keep the shack open and fun:
- Site Improvement: Usage stats let us fix bugs, optimize games, and add features you’ll love.
- Personalization: If you sign up, we use your info to save your scores or settings across devices.
- Ad Support: Ads keep us free—third-party partners use data to tailor them, but we don’t share anything beyond what’s needed for that.
- Legal Stuff: We might use data to comply with laws or protect our site from misuse.
3. Sharing Your Information
We don’t sell or trade your data—period. We only share it when:
- Service Providers: Hosting platforms (e.g., Vercel, Netlify) or analytics tools process data on our behalf, following strict privacy rules.
- Legal Requirements: If the law demands it (e.g., a court order), we’ll comply.
- Ad Partners: Third-party ad networks get basic data to show ads, but that’s their sandbox—check their policies.
4. Your Choices
You’re in control:
- Cookies: Adjust your browser settings to block cookies (though some features might not work).
- Account: Don’t want to sign up? No problem—play anonymously.
- Opt-Out: Ad networks often offer opt-outs; look for links in the ads.
5. Data Security
We use industry-standard measures (e.g., encryption, secure hosting) to protect your info. But no system’s perfect—while we do our best, we can’t guarantee absolute security.
6. Children’s Privacy
Syce’s Game Shack is for everyone, including kids! We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 13 beyond what’s needed for gameplay. Parents, if you’re concerned, contact us.
7. Third-Party Links
Our site may link to external games or tools. We’re not responsible for their privacy practices—check their policies before clicking.
8. Changes to This Policy
We might tweak this policy as our site evolves. Updates will be posted here with a new effective date. Check back occasionally!
