🔐 Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Effective Date: January 2025

At Spinant, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to transparency about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (which is very minimal), how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Because Spinant is a free-play entertainment platform with no user accounts, no payments, and no complex features requiring personal data, our data collection is extremely limited compared to most websites and applications. We believe in collecting only what's necessary to provide you with a quality entertainment experience.

1. Information Collection Overview

1.1 What We Collect

Spinant's data collection falls into two main categories: local browser storage and anonymous technical logs. Neither category involves personally identifiable information in the traditional sense.

1.2 What We Don't Collect

Before detailing what we do collect, it's important to clarify what we DON'T collect:

• ❌ No names, email addresses, or contact information
• ❌ No payment information (credit cards, bank accounts, etc.)
• ❌ No user accounts or login credentials
• ❌ No social security numbers or government IDs
• ❌ No precise geolocation or GPS coordinates
• ❌ No browsing history from other websites
• ❌ No personal photos or user-generated content
• ❌ No biometric data
• ❌ No health or medical information

This minimalist approach to data collection is intentional and reflects our commitment to privacy-first design.

2. Browser Local Storage

2.1 Age Verification Storage

When you confirm that you're 18 years or older, Spinant stores a simple flag in your browser's local storage. This flag contains no personal information - it's essentially just a "yes" indicator that prevents the age verification popup from appearing on your next visit.

Storage Details:

• Storage Type: Browser Local Storage (not cookies)
• Storage Location: Your device only
• Data Transmitted: None (stays on your device)
• Expiration: Persists until you clear browser data
• Content: Simple boolean flag (true/false)

2.2 Game Preferences

If our games include customizable settings (like sound volume or display preferences), these settings may be stored in local storage to remember your choices between sessions. Like the age verification, this data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

2.3 Managing Local Storage

You have complete control over local storage:

• Clear it anytime through your browser's settings (usually under Privacy or Site Data)
• Use private/incognito browsing mode to prevent storage persistence
• Block local storage entirely (though this may affect functionality)

3. Anonymous Technical Logs

3.1 Standard Web Server Logs

Like virtually all websites, Spinant's web servers automatically log certain technical information when you visit. This information is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally:

• IP Address: Your internet service provider's address (not your home address)
• Browser Type: E.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
• Operating System: E.g., Windows, macOS, iOS, Android
• Device Type: Desktop, mobile, or tablet
• Screen Resolution: Your device's display size
• Timestamp: When you accessed the site
• Referrer: What website you came from (if any)
• Pages Visited: Which pages on Spinant you accessed
• Time on Site: How long you spent browsing

3.2 Why We Log This Information

This technical data serves important operational purposes:

• Performance Optimization: Identifying slow-loading elements or pages
• Compatibility: Ensuring games work across different browsers and devices
• Security: Detecting suspicious activity or abuse patterns
• Analytics: Understanding general usage patterns to improve the platform
• Technical Support: Troubleshooting issues when they arise

3.3 Anonymity of Logs

The logs we collect are anonymous in practice because:

• IP addresses are shared by many users and frequently change
• We don't cross-reference logs with any personal identification
• We don't create individual user profiles or tracking histories
• Logs are analyzed in aggregate, not individually

4. How We Use Information

4.1 Primary Uses

The minimal information we collect is used exclusively for:

• Service Provision: Ensuring Spinant loads and functions properly on your device
• User Experience: Remembering your age verification to avoid repeated popups
• Technical Maintenance: Identifying and fixing bugs or performance issues
• Security: Protecting against abuse, fraud, or unauthorized access
• Compliance: Meeting legal obligations related to platform operation

4.2 Aggregate Analytics

We may analyze aggregated, anonymous data to understand:

• Overall traffic volume and trends
• Popular games or features
• Common device and browser combinations
• Peak usage times
• Geographic distribution of visitors (country/region level only)

This analysis helps us make informed decisions about improvements and resource allocation.

4.3 What We Don't Do

We explicitly do NOT:

• Sell, rent, or trade any data to third parties
• Create detailed individual user profiles
• Track your browsing behavior across other websites
• Use data for targeted advertising (we may show generic ads, but not targeted ones)
• Share data with data brokers or marketing companies

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Limited Third-Party Integration

Spinant may utilize certain third-party services that enhance functionality:

Google Fonts: We load web fonts from Google's Content Delivery Network to ensure consistent typography. When fonts are loaded, Google may receive basic technical information about the request. This is standard practice for CDN-delivered resources.

Game Providers: Some games may be developed by third-party providers. These games may have their own minimal data practices, though we select providers who prioritize privacy.

5.2 External Links

Spinant contains links to external resources (like responsible gaming organizations). When you click these links, you leave Spinant and are subject to the privacy policies of those external sites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the privacy practices of external websites.

5.3 Advertising Partners

If Spinant displays advertisements to support our free service, advertising partners may use their own technologies to serve ads. We select partners who respect user privacy, but they may have their own data collection practices. You can typically opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or industry opt-out tools.

6. Data Security

6.1 Security Measures

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the minimal data we collect:

• HTTPS Encryption: All connections to Spinant use secure HTTPS protocol
• Server Security: Our servers are protected with firewalls and security monitoring
• Access Controls: Limited personnel have access to server logs
• Regular Updates: We keep systems updated with security patches

6.2 No Payment Data Risk

Because Spinant involves no financial transactions, there's no payment card data to secure or compromise. This eliminates one of the most significant security risks found on e-commerce and real-money gambling sites.

6.3 Local Storage Security

Data stored in your browser's local storage is controlled by your browser's security features. Keep your browser updated and use security best practices to protect your device.

7. Children's Privacy

Spinant is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our age verification system is designed to prevent underage access.

If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed Spinant, we will take steps to restrict further access. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has accessed our platform should contact us and take steps to prevent future access through parental controls and supervision.

8. Your Privacy Rights

8.1 Control Over Local Storage

You have complete control over data stored in your browser:

• Clear local storage at any time through browser settings
• Use private/incognito mode for session-only storage
• Disable local storage entirely (may affect functionality)

8.2 Rights Under Privacy Laws

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California), you may have certain rights regarding personal data. However, since Spinant collects minimal to no personally identifiable information, many traditional privacy rights don't practically apply:

• Right to Access: There's no personal account or profile to access
• Right to Deletion: Local storage can be cleared by you directly; server logs are anonymous
• Right to Portability: Not applicable as we don't store personal data
• Right to Object: You can stop using Spinant at any time

8.3 Opt-Out Options

• Stop visiting Spinant to cease all data collection
• Use browser privacy settings to limit data sharing
• Enable "Do Not Track" in your browser (though effectiveness varies)
• Use ad blockers or privacy extensions to limit third-party tracking

9. International Data Transfers

Spinant is accessible worldwide, and our servers may be located in different countries than where you reside. By using Spinant, you understand that the minimal technical data collected may be processed in various locations.

However, the minimal nature of our data collection significantly reduces international data transfer concerns. We're not transferring personal identification, financial data, or sensitive information across borders - just basic technical logs needed to operate a website.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Significant changes will be indicated by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Continued use of Spinant after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Contact Information

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through appropriate channels. We take privacy inquiries seriously and will respond as promptly as possible.

Thank you for trusting Spinant with your entertainment time. We're committed to maintaining that trust through transparent, minimal, and responsible data practices.
