At SolitairePlay.org, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to safeguard your data when you visit our website to play solitaire online.

By accessing or using SolitairePlay.org, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Because SolitairePlay.org is a free, browser-based platform that requires no registration, we collect very limited personal information. The information we gather falls into two categories:

A. Non-Personal Information (Automatically Collected)
When you visit our site to enjoy a solitaire game, our servers automatically record standard log data. This may include:

• Your IP (Internet Protocol) address

• Browser type and version

• Operating system

• The date and time of your visit

• Referring and exit pages

• Time spent on the website

B. Personal Information (Voluntarily Provided)
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal details to play classic solitaire on our site. We only collect personal information (such as your name or email address) if you voluntarily contact us via email for support or inquiries.

2. How We Use Your Information

The non-personal data we collect is used solely to improve our website and provide a better user experience. Specifically, we use it to:

• Ensure our online solitaire games load quickly and run smoothly on all devices.

• Analyze user behavior and site traffic to improve our layout and features.

• Resolve technical issues and detect malicious activity or spam.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

SolitairePlay.org uses "cookies" to enhance your experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device's browser. We use cookies to:

• Save your game progress and preferences (e.g., sound toggles, game statistics).

• Deliver relevant advertisements.

• Monitor website traffic through analytics tools.

You have the right to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline them. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the site, such as saving your solitaire high scores.

4. Third-Party Services: Analytics and Advertising

To keep it free to play solitaire on our platform, we use third-party services for analytics and advertising. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your interactions with our site.

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our site. Google Analytics collects non-personal data such as browser type and traffic patterns.

• Advertising Partners (e.g., Google AdSense): Third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing history.

Opting Out: You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. Children’s Privacy

SolitairePlay.org is a general audience website. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete such data immediately.

6. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• The right to access: You can request copies of your personal data.

• The right to erasure: You can request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.

• The right to opt-out: California residents have the right to opt-out of the "sale" of their personal information (note: we do not sell personal data, but third-party ads may fall under this classification in certain jurisdictions).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

7. Security of Your Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
