Privacy Policy

Last updated:

1. Who We Are

Backgammon Zone ("we", "us", "our") operates the website backgammonzone.net (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it.

For any privacy-related questions or requests please contact us at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

Backgammon Zone does not require account registration. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any other personally identifiable information unless you contact us directly by email. If you email us, we will retain your message and email address solely to respond to your enquiry.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our server may log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used exclusively for security monitoring and aggregate traffic analysis. It is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Local storage

The game saves your preferences (AI level, AI speed, chosen colour, match target, animation settings) to your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.

3. Cookies

Backgammon Zone does not use tracking cookies or marketing cookies. The only browser storage we use is localStorage (see above), which is not a cookie and is not transmitted with HTTP requests.

If in the future we introduce third-party advertising (such as Google AdSense), those services may set their own cookies to serve personalised or non-personalised ads. We will update this policy accordingly and, where required by law, request your consent before enabling such services.

4. Third-Party Services

We currently use the following third-party services:

  • Hosting provider — our hosting provider may process server logs containing IP addresses for security and operational purposes, governed by their own privacy policy.
  • GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) — a JavaScript animation library loaded as part of our application bundle. It does not collect any user data.

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other behavioural tracking service at this time.

5. Data Retention

Server logs, if retained, are kept for no longer than 30 days. Email correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and is then deleted.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your country of residence, you may have the following rights under applicable data protection law (including the GDPR where applicable):

  • The right to access personal data we hold about you
  • The right to rectification of inaccurate data
  • The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
  • The right to restriction of processing
  • The right to data portability
  • The right to object to processing

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

Backgammon Zone is a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
