Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Joylancer ("Joylancer," "we," "us," or "our") operates https://joylancer.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit the Site and play our free browser-based skill games. This policy is written for players in the United States, with particular attention to Michigan residents, and references applicable US frameworks such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for visitors from California.

2. Information We Collect

• Information you provide: Name, email address, and message content when you submit our Contact form.
• Automatically collected information: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring URLs, and approximate location (city/region level), collected via server logs and cookies.
• Gameplay data: Local, on-device data such as your age-verification confirmation and cookie preferences, stored in your browser's local storage. We do not currently store gameplay scores on our servers.
• We do not collect: Payment information, government ID numbers, or precise geolocation. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18 — see Section 8.

3. How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our games;
• To respond to inquiries submitted through our Contact form;
• To monitor traffic patterns, detect abuse, and secure the Site;
• To measure the performance of advertising campaigns (including Microsoft Advertising / Bing Ads) that direct traffic to the Site;
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and local storage for essential site functionality (like remembering your age-verification and cookie choices) and, where you consent, for analytics and advertising measurement. See our Cookie Policy for full details and how to manage your preferences.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with:

• Service providers who host the Site or provide analytics, under confidentiality obligations;
• Advertising partners (such as Microsoft Advertising) in aggregated or de-identified form to measure campaign performance;
• Authorities, where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Joylancer or others.

6. Your Privacy Choices

• Cookie controls: Use the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer at any time to accept or reject non-essential cookies.
• California residents (CCPA): You have the right to request access to, deletion of, or an explanation of the categories of personal information we hold about you. Submit requests via our Contact page.
• Michigan & other US residents: You may contact us at any time to ask what information we hold and to request its deletion, subject to legal recordkeeping requirements.

7. Data Retention & Security

We retain contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and maintain reasonable business records, then delete or anonymize them. We use industry-standard safeguards (including HTTPS encryption in production and restricted server access) to protect information, though no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8. Children's Privacy

Joylancer is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us at hello@joylancer.com and we will promptly delete it.

The Site may link to third-party websites (including advertising partners). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties and encourage you to review their policies directly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
