Privacy

What This Privacy Policy Covers

This policy explains how Teknovires handles your information when you visit our site or play games. It covers what data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and your rights regarding your personal information.

This policy applies to all users, including visitors who don’t create accounts. If you’re under 13 (or the age of majority in your country), please don’t share personal information with us.

Information We Collect

When you visit our site or play games, we collect different types of information. Some is provided directly by you, while most is gathered automatically.

Automatically Collected Data

This includes:

• Technical data: Your device’s IP address, browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language settings. This helps us understand how people use the site.
• Usage data: Pages you visit, links you click, how long you stay on each page, and errors that occur. This helps us improve the site.
• Gameplay data: If you play games, we may collect data like your in-game actions, scores, or progress. This is used to improve games and troubleshoot issues.
• Referrer information: How you got to our site (e.g., from a search engine, another website, or a social media link).

Information You Provide

If you choose to create an account or contact us, we may collect:

• Your name, email address, and any other details you share voluntarily (e.g., in feedback forms).
• Payment information (if you ever use our paid features, though our games are currently free).

How We Collect Information

Most data is collected automatically through:

• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (explained in detail below).
• Scripts embedded in our site that run in your browser.
• Third-party services we use (like analytics tools and ad networks).

We don’t collect data from your device’s camera, microphone, or location unless you actively enable those features in a game.

How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect for several purposes:

Running the Site

• Delivering content, ensuring security, and preventing fraud.
• Providing customer support and processing transactions (if any).

Improving Your Experience

• Personalizing content or recommendations based on your interests.
• Analyzing how people use the site to make it faster and easier to navigate.

Delivering Ads

• Showing you ads that are relevant to your interests (when applicable).
• Measuring the effectiveness of our ad campaigns.

Game Development

• Tracking gameplay data to fix bugs and improve game balance.
• Understanding which games are most popular to guide future updates.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site. They help us function properly and enhance your experience. We use three main types:

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the site to work. They enable basic functions like navigation and security.

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how you interact with the site, such as which pages you visit and how long you stay. This data is anonymous and aggregated.

Advertising Cookies

These are used to deliver targeted ads and measure their performance. They may be placed by us or our advertising partners.

How to Manage Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• Accept or reject all cookies.
• Clear cookies that are already on your device.
• Set cookies to expire after you close your browser.

We also provide a cookie consent banner when you first visit. You can adjust your preferences there.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to help run the site, analyze traffic, and show ads. Here’s what they do:

Google Analytics

This tool collects anonymous data about how you use our site, such as:

• Which pages you visit.
• How long you spend on each page.
• Your device and browser type.

Google Analytics doesn’t collect personal information like your name or email. Data is stored and managed by Google under their privacy policy.

Google AdSense

We use AdSense to display ads and earn revenue to keep the site free. This service may:

• Use cookies to show you relevant ads.
• Collect data about your visits to other sites (if you’ve enabled ad personalization in Google’s settings).

You can opt out of ad personalization by adjusting your Google Ad Settings.

Embedded Game Providers

Some games on our site are hosted by third-party providers (e.g., Unity, Kongregate). These providers may collect:

• Gameplay data (scores, progress, actions).
• Device and browser information.

We don’t control how these providers use your data. For details, check their individual privacy policies.

Data Sharing

We don’t sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share data with:

• Service providers: Companies that help us operate the site (e.g., hosting, analytics, ads). They only use your data for the services we’ve contracted them to provide.
• Legal requirements: If required by law (e.g., a court order or government request), we may disclose your information.
• Business transfers: If we’re acquired or merge with another company, your data may be transferred as part of that process.

Data Retention

We keep your data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Here’s a general breakdown:

• Anonymous analytics data: Retained for up to 26 months to analyze trends and improve the site.
• Account information: Stored indefinitely (or until you delete your account) to manage your profile and preferences.
• Gameplay data: Kept for as long as the game is active on the site, then archived or deleted.
• Cookie data: Stored according to the purpose of each cookie (e.g., session cookies are deleted when you close your browser).

Children’s Privacy

We don’t knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or the age of majority in your country). If we become aware that a child has provided personal information, we’ll delete it as quickly as possible.

Parents and guardians should supervise their children’s online activity and ensure they don’t share personal information on our site.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data. Here’s what you can do:

GDPR (Europe)

If you’re in the European Union, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data (what we have and why).
• Correct inaccuracies in your data.
• Delete your data (in some cases).
• Port your data (transfer it to another service).

We take steps to protect your data, but no method is 100% secure. Here’s what we do:

• Use encryption for data in transit (e.g., when you log in or submit forms).
• Store data securely on servers with access controls.
• Regularly update our systems to guard against vulnerabilities.
• Limit access to your data only to employees who need it.

If you believe your data has been compromised, contact us immediately at [email protected].

• Our hosting provider may store data in data centers around the world.

If you’re concerned about data transfers, you can limit sharing by adjusting your browser settings or opting out of certain services (like Google Analytics).
