Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Play At Work ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at playatwork.net (the "Site"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Play At Work is designed to be a privacy-first platform. We do not require user accounts, and we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number through standard usage of our games.

Information automatically collected may include:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URLs and pages visited
• Time and date of visits
• Anonymous usage statistics (page views, game plays)

Local Storage: Game scores and player names you enter for leaderboards are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

3. Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site. Google AdSense is a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you may opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

For more information about how Google uses data collected through ads, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms page.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small data files placed on your device that help us improve your experience and serve relevant advertisements.

Types of cookies we use:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly (e.g., remembering your game progress in local storage).
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting anonymous usage data.
• Advertising Cookies: Used by Google AdSense and its partners to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on our Site.

5. Children's Privacy

Our Site is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at business@playatwork.net so we can take appropriate action.

6. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to Access: You may request copies of the data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data under certain conditions.
• Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your personal data.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request transfer of your data to another organization.

Since we do not collect PII directly, these rights primarily apply to data collected by third-party services (such as Google). Please refer to their respective privacy policies for exercising these rights.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, strict Content Security Policies (CSP), and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to protect our Site and your data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
