What does this privacy policy cover?
This document explains how Driftcore (driftcore.web.id) handles information when you visit our site to explore and play free online games. We believe in transparency regarding the data we collect and how it is used. This policy applies to all visitors, regardless of where you are accessing the site from, and covers the interaction between your browser and our platform.
What information do we collect?
We collect a variety of information to help the site function and to understand how visitors interact with our game collection. This data generally falls into two categories:
Technical and Device Information
When you browse Driftcore, we automatically receive certain data, including:
- IP Addresses: Used to identify your general location and prevent abuse.
- Browser Type: Information about the software you use to access the site.
- Device Details: Your operating system and screen resolution.
- Referring URLs: The website or search engine you used to find us.
Usage and Gameplay Data
We monitor how you interact with the site to improve the discovery experience. This includes:
- Which games you click on and how long you spend playing them.
- Navigation patterns and the pages you visit.
- Basic gameplay data, such as high scores or progress saved via local storage.
How is this information collected?
We gather information through automated methods. This means you do not need to fill out a form or create an account for us to collect technical data. We use scripts and cookies that run in the background of your browser. Additionally, we utilize third-party services that provide analytics and advertising, which collect data according to their own specific policies.
How do we use your information?
The data we collect serves several practical purposes:
- Site Operation: Ensuring the games load correctly and the layout adjusts to your device.
- Analytics: Understanding which games are popular so we can offer more variety.
- Personalization: Remembering your preferences or game progress via browser storage.
- Ad Delivery: Allowing ad networks to show relevant content based on your browsing habits.
- Security: Monitoring for malicious activity to keep the site stable.
How do cookies and tracking technologies work?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to make your experience smoother. We categorize our cookies as follows:
Essential Cookies
These are required for the site to function. They handle basic tasks like security and load balancing.
Analytics Cookies
These help us see how many people visit the site and which sections are most frequented. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Advertising Cookies
These are used by our partners to show ads that match your interests. They track your visits across different websites to build a profile of your preferences.
You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though this may affect how some games perform on our site.
Which third-party services do we use?
To keep Driftcore free and functional, we integrate several external services:
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to track site traffic. This service collects data such as your IP address and browser behavior to provide us with reports on site usage.
Google AdSense
Google AdSense delivers the advertisements you see on our pages. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to our site or other websites on the internet.
Embedded Game Providers
Many of our games are hosted on external servers and embedded via iframes. These providers may collect their own data, such as your device info or gameplay statistics, independently of Driftcore.
When is your data shared?
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, data is shared in the following contexts:
- Service Providers: With companies that provide analytics and advertising services.
- Legal Obligations: If required by law or a valid legal request from government authorities.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition of the website.
How long is your data kept?
We retain information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Technical logs are typically deleted after a set period, while analytics data is kept in an aggregated format. Cookies have varying expiration dates, ranging from session-based (deleted when you close the browser) to persistent cookies that remain for a specific number of months.
How do we handle children's privacy?
Driftcore is a general-audience site. We do not intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our records. We encourage parents to monitor their children's online activity.
What are your privacy rights?
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your data:
GDPR (European Economic Area)
Users in the EEA have the right to access their data, request corrections to inaccurate information, ask for the deletion of their data, and request data portability.
CCPA (California, USA)
California residents may request to know what data is collected, request the deletion of that data, and opt-out of the sale of their personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address provided in the contact section.
How is your data secured?
We implement reasonable technical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. While we strive to maintain a stable environment, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure. We use standard encryption and security protocols to minimize risks.
Are there international data transfers?
Because we use global services like Google Analytics and AdSense, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your own, including the United States. These providers are expected to maintain data protection standards consistent with the requirements of the laws in your jurisdiction.
How will changes to this policy be communicated?
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally to stay informed about how we handle your information.
