Privacy Policy

Effective Date:

Welcome to RetroGamePro! This Privacy Policy describes how RetroGamePro ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with your use of our website, [Insert Your Website URL - e.g., www.retrogamepro.com] (the "Service").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using our Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Since all games on RetroGamePro are free to play and our primary revenue source is through advertisements, our data collection is minimal and primarily focused on enabling the Service and ad delivery.

  • Log Data and Usage Information: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit our Service. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, and the dates and times of your visits. This data is used for analytical purposes to understand how our Service is used and to improve it.
  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: We and our third-party advertising partners may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons) to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of our Service.
    • Cookies: Small data files stored on your device. We may use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them).
    • Purpose of Cookies:
      • To operate and improve our Service.
      • To understand how users interact with our Service.
      • To serve targeted advertisements (see "Third-Party Advertising" below).
  • Device Information: We may collect information about the device you use to access our Service, such as the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information (if applicable).

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, physical address, or phone number directly through gameplay unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., through a contact form, which is not currently a feature).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To provide, maintain, and improve our Service, including the games offered.
  • To understand user engagement and improve user experience.
  • To display advertisements, including personalized advertisements from third-party ad networks. These ads help keep our games free.
  • To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Service.
  • To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities and protect the rights and property of RetroGamePro and others.

3. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics

We partner with third-party advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense or similar) to display advertisements on RetroGamePro. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.

  • These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on RetroGamePro. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens.
  • They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content that you see.
  • RetroGamePro does not have access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information on their practices as well as for instructions about how to opt-out of certain practices.

You can often opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the ad settings of the respective ad providers (e.g., Google Ad Settings) or through industry opt-out pages like the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as aggregated user statistics, log data, and de-identified information) with third parties for various purposes, including analytics and advertising.

We may also share information if required by law or in response to a valid legal request, or if we believe it's necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.

5. Your Choices

  • Cookies: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of some parts of our Service.
  • Advertising: As mentioned above, you can opt out of some interest-based advertising through settings provided by ad networks or industry opt-out programs.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold if applicable in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child, please contact us at [Insert Your Contact Email - e.g., privacy@retrogamepro.com].

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the "Effective Date" at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Service to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
