Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Ethereora, we understand that privacy is paramount in today's digital landscape. This Privacy Policy outlines our approach to data handling, user privacy, and the minimal information practices we employ to deliver our social casino entertainment platform.

Our fundamental principle is simple: we collect only what is absolutely necessary to provide you with an enjoyable gaming experience, and we handle that information with the utmost care and respect.

Information We Collect

Ethereora operates as a streamlined entertainment platform with minimal data collection requirements. Here's what information we may collect and why:

Age Verification Data

We store a simple confirmation in your browser's local storage indicating that you have verified your age (18+). This is not transmitted to our servers and remains solely on your device. This helps ensure compliance with age restrictions while respecting your privacy.

Game Progress and Preferences

Your virtual currency balance and game state may be stored locally in your browser to maintain continuity between sessions. This data remains on your device and is not collected or transmitted to external servers.

Technical Information

Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit Ethereora, including:

• Browser type and version
• Device type and screen resolution
• Operating system
• General location (country or region level only)
• Pages visited and features used
• Time spent on the platform

This technical information helps us optimize the platform performance and ensure compatibility across different devices and browsers.

How We Use Your Information

Any information we collect serves specific, limited purposes:

Platform Functionality

We use locally stored data to maintain your game progress, remember your age verification status, and provide a seamless entertainment experience across sessions.

Technical Improvement

Technical data helps us identify and resolve issues, optimize game performance, and ensure Ethereora functions properly across various devices and browsers.

Security and Compliance

We monitor for unusual activity patterns to maintain platform security and ensure compliance with our age restrictions and terms of service.

Cookies and Local Storage

Ethereora uses browser storage technologies to enhance your experience:

Local Storage

We primarily use HTML5 local storage to save your age verification status and game progress directly on your device. This data is not transmitted to any servers and remains entirely under your control. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Session Data

Temporary session data may be used to maintain your current gaming session and ensure smooth platform operation. This data is automatically cleared when you close your browser.

Managing Storage

You have full control over stored data. Most browsers allow you to:

• View stored data
• Delete specific items
• Clear all stored data
• Block future storage

Note that clearing storage data will reset your game progress and require you to verify your age again.

Third-Party Services and Links

Ethereora may contain links to external resources, particularly responsible gaming organizations. When you click these links and leave our platform, you become subject to the privacy policies of those external sites.

We carefully select linked organizations but cannot control or be responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

No Third-Party Advertising

Ethereora does not currently use third-party advertising networks. This means your experience is free from ad tracking pixels, behavioral advertising cookies, and similar invasive technologies commonly found on other websites.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the integrity of our platform and any data processed through it. However, since most data remains on your device through local storage, you maintain primary control over its security.

We recommend standard security practices:

• Keep your browser and operating system updated
• Use reputable security software
• Be cautious when using public or shared devices
• Clear browser data on shared devices after use

Data Retention and Deletion

Since Ethereora primarily uses local storage, most data is retained only on your device for as long as you choose to keep it. You can delete this data at any time through your browser settings.

Any technical logs or server-side data we may collect are retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill their intended purposes, typically no longer than necessary for technical operations and security monitoring.

Children's Privacy

Ethereora is strictly intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years of age. Our age verification system is designed to prevent underage access.

If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed our platform, we will take immediate steps to block such access and delete any associated data.

International Users

Ethereora is accessible from various locations worldwide. By using our platform, you acknowledge that any data processing occurs in accordance with this Privacy Policy, regardless of your physical location.

We respect privacy regulations in different jurisdictions and strive to maintain practices that align with international privacy standards.

Your Privacy Rights

You maintain significant control over your data when using Ethereora:

• Access: You can view most data stored about you through your browser's developer tools and settings
• Deletion: You can delete locally stored data at any time through browser settings
• Opt-Out: You can choose not to use Ethereora if you disagree with our privacy practices
• Portability: Local storage data can typically be exported using browser tools

Changes to This Privacy Policy

As our platform evolves, we may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make changes:

• We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Material changes may be highlighted on the platform
• Your continued use after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices.

Transparency and Trust

At Ethereora, we believe that transparency builds trust. We've designed our platform with privacy in mind, minimizing data collection and maximizing user control. Our social casino model - with no real money involved - naturally reduces privacy risks compared to traditional online gaming platforms.

We do not sell, rent, or trade any user information. We do not build detailed user profiles. We do not engage in invasive tracking practices. Our goal is simple: provide entertaining games while respecting your privacy.
