Privacy Policy
How Gametavo collects, uses, and protects your information.
1. About This Policy
Gametavo ("Gametavo," "we," "us," or "our") operates this website and the games available on it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. This policy is written to comply with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation.
2. Information We Collect
Gametavo games are designed to be played without an account. We do not require you to register, and gameplay progress (scores, best times, in-progress rounds) is stored locally in your browser using localStorage — it is not transmitted to our servers.
We may still automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the site, including:
- Browser type and version, operating system, and device type
- Pages visited, time spent, and general usage patterns
- Approximate location derived from IP address (city/region level)
- Cookie data, as described in our Cookie Policy
If you contact us directly (for example, through the contact form or by email), we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to operate and improve Gametavo, to understand which games are working and which aren't, to respond to enquiries, to maintain the security of the site, and to meet legal obligations.
4. Advertising
Gametavo intends to display advertising to help keep every game free to play. Where advertising is active, our advertising partners (which may include Microsoft Advertising and Google AdSense) may set cookies or use similar technologies on your device to serve and measure ads. These partners may process your IP address, approximate location, device and browser information, and browsing activity on this Site for that purpose.
We rely on your consent for non-essential advertising cookies, collected via the cookie banner described in our Cookie Policy. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through that banner or your browser settings. Each advertising partner's own privacy policy governs how they process data on their side:
- Microsoft Advertising: about.ads.microsoft.com privacy policy
- Google AdSense: policies.google.com/privacy
If you are located in the EEA or UK, non-essential advertising cookies are only set after you provide consent through our consent management tool. This section will be kept up to date as advertising is enabled and as partners change.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal information on the basis of your consent (for example, for non-essential and advertising cookies), our legitimate interest in operating and improving a free games platform, and, where applicable, to comply with legal obligations.
6. Data Retention
Local gameplay data (scores, best times) remains on your device until you clear your browser storage. Messages sent through our contact channels are retained only as long as needed to respond to and resolve your enquiry, or as required by law.
7. Your Rights
Under PIPEDA, you have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to request access to it, and to request that inaccurate information be corrected. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@gametavo.com.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the limited information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's Privacy
Gametavo's games are general-audience and are not directed at young children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
