1) Quick Summary
- Goal: We built Retro Arcade to be fun and simple.
- Personal data:
• We do not intentionally collect personal information such as your name, email, or phone number.
- Device/log data: Like most online services, our hosting providers may automatically receive basic technical data (e.g., IP address, browser type) to operate and secure the Service.
2) Information We Collect
A. Information you provide
You may choose to provide information when you:
- Contact us (for example, by email or a support form)
- Submit feedback, bug reports, or suggestions
This may include your email address and the contents of your message.
B. Information collected automatically
When you use the Service, certain information may be processed automatically to keep the Service running and secure:
- Device and browser information (e.g., browser type, operating system)
- Log data (e.g., timestamps, pages/screens viewed, error logs)
- Approximate location inferred from IP address (city/region level), if provided in standard logs
We use this information for reliability, debugging, performance, and security.
C. Local storage (on your device)
Retro Arcade may store game settings, scores, or preferences locally using browser storage (like localStorage) so your experience works smoothly.
This data stays on your device unless you clear your browser/app storage.
3) How We Use Information

- Remember preferences (like settings or saved progress) when enabled
- Respond to messages and support requests
- Fix bugs, improve performance, and prevent abuse
4) Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information only in these cases:
- Service providers: Hosting, logging, and infrastructure vendors that help operate the Service (they process data on our behalf).
- Legal/safety: If required by law or necessary to protect users, the public, or our rights.
Analytics (optional)
We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand what features are used and to improve performance. Analytics tools may collect device identifiers, event data, and approximate location (IP-based). You can usually block analytics by using browser privacy controls or content blockers.
Advertising (optional)
If we ever display ads, ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance. We will update this policy before enabling advertising that changes data collection.
5) Cookies
We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality (like keeping settings). Some third-party services (if enabled) may also use cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
6) Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed to operate the Service and for legitimate purposes like troubleshooting, security, and legal compliance. If you contact us, we may retain your message for support history unless you request deletion.
7) Children’s Privacy
Retro Arcade is not directed to children under 13 (or the age defined by your local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
8) Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
9) Your Choices
- You can clear local storage in your browser/app to remove saved preferences or scores.
- You can request access, correction, or deletion of information you provided to us by contacting us.
10) Changes to this Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date and, when appropriate, provide additional notice in the app.
