Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how this website ("the Site", "we", "us") handles information when you visit and play Gauntlet FC. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information we collect

The game itself is played entirely in your browser. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for or directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details in order to play. Your game progress is not stored on our servers.

Like most websites, our hosting provider and third-party services described below may automatically receive standard technical information that your browser sends when loading any web page — such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and the pages you visit. This information is used to serve the Site, keep it secure, and understand aggregate usage.

Cookies and local storage

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. The core game does not require cookies to function. However, third-party services we use (see below), including advertising, may set cookies or use similar technologies such as web beacons or local storage. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies will not stop the game from working, but it may affect the relevance of any ads shown.

Third-party services

• Web hosting & content delivery. The Site is served through a static web host and content delivery network, which may log standard request information for reliability and security.
• Privacy-friendly analytics. We use a cookieless web-analytics tool (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics) that measures aggregate page views and traffic sources without cookies, without tracking you across other sites, and without storing personal data.
• Google Fonts. We load display fonts from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address as part of delivering those font files. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Advertising (if enabled). We may display advertising provided by Google and its partners (see the Advertising section below).

Advertising

This Site may serve advertising through Google, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or www.youronlinechoices.eu.
• For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's policy.

Children's privacy

This Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, or to object to certain processing. Because the game does not collect personal data directly, most requests relate to the third-party services above; you can manage cookies via your browser and ad personalisation via the links in the Advertising section.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
