SpinGoose

1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At SpinGoose Social Casino, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our free-play social gaming platform. We're committed to being transparent about our practices and protecting your privacy at every step.

2. What Information We Collect

SpinGoose operates with a minimal data footprint. Here's what we collect and why:

2.1 Age Verification Information

When you first visit SpinGoose, we ask you to confirm that you're 18 years or older. Your confirmation is stored locally in your web browser (using localStorage technology). This information:

• Never leaves your device
• Is not transmitted to our servers
• Contains only a simple yes/no flag indicating you confirmed your age
• Includes a timestamp of when you confirmed
• Helps us ensure we're not showing the age check repeatedly

2.2 Automatic Technical Data

Like virtually all websites, your browser automatically sends certain technical information when you visit SpinGoose. This may include:

• Your IP address (used to deliver web pages to your device)
• Browser type and version (to ensure compatibility)
• Device information (to optimize the display)
• Operating system details
• Referring website (if you clicked a link to reach us)

This technical data is handled by standard web protocols and is not actively collected or stored by SpinGoose.

2.3 Gaming Data

Any game-related information, such as scores, progress, or preferences, is stored locally in your browser. This data:

• Stays on your device only
• Is not sent to SpinGoose servers
• Can be cleared at any time through your browser settings
• Has no connection to your identity

3. What We Don't Collect

It's important to understand what SpinGoose does NOT collect:

• Personal identifying information (names, addresses, phone numbers)
• Email addresses or contact information
• Financial or payment information (we don't accept payments)
• Social media profiles or login credentials
• Location data beyond general geographic region from IP
• Behavioral data across other websites

4. How We Use Information

The minimal information processed by SpinGoose is used only to:

• Remember that you've verified your age (via local storage)
• Deliver the website and games to your browser
• Ensure the platform works correctly on your device
• Maintain the technical functionality of our services

We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond providing free entertainment.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

SpinGoose uses browser localStorage (not traditional cookies) to remember your age verification. This is a simple key-value pair stored in your browser that contains:

• A flag indicating you confirmed you're 18+ (true/false)
• The date and time you confirmed

This is NOT a tracking mechanism. It doesn't follow you across websites, doesn't contain personal information, and serves only to improve your experience by not repeatedly asking for age verification.

How to manage it: You can clear this stored data anytime through your browser's settings (usually under "Clear browsing data" or "Storage"). Doing so will cause the age verification prompt to appear again on your next visit.

6. Third-Party Links

SpinGoose provides links to responsible gaming resources:

• GambleAware (www.gambleaware.org)
• GamCare (gamcare.org.uk)
• Gambling Therapy (gamblingtherapy.org)

These are independent organizations with their own privacy policies. When you click these links, you leave SpinGoose and are subject to their privacy practices, not ours. We encourage you to review their policies.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Simple answer: We don't share your data because we don't collect it in the first place. SpinGoose does not:

• Sell user information to third parties
• Share data with advertisers or marketers
• Provide information to data brokers
• Transfer data internationally (it stays on your device)

8. Data Security

Since SpinGoose primarily uses client-side storage (your browser's localStorage), the security of your age verification data depends on:

• Your device's security measures
• Your browser's security features
• Your personal security practices

We recommend keeping your browser and operating system updated, using security software, and being mindful of who has access to your devices.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Since SpinGoose doesn't collect personal data on our servers, traditional data rights (access, correction, deletion) aren't directly applicable. However, you have complete control through your browser:

• Access: You can view localStorage content through browser developer tools
• Deletion: Clear localStorage through browser settings at any time
• Control: Use private/incognito browsing for session-only storage
• Restriction: Disable localStorage entirely through browser settings (may affect functionality)

10. Children's Privacy

SpinGoose is designed exclusively for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Our age verification system is the first line of defense in preventing underage access. If you believe someone under 18 has accessed SpinGoose, please contact us immediately.

11. International Users

SpinGoose can be accessed globally. Since we use client-side storage rather than server-side data collection, there are minimal cross-border data transfer concerns. Your age verification data remains in your browser on your device, regardless of your location.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Updates will be posted on this page with a new "Effective Date." We encourage periodic review of this policy. Continued use of SpinGoose after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

13. Do Not Track Signals

Because SpinGoose doesn't employ tracking technologies, your browser's Do Not Track (DNT) settings are inherently respected. We don't track you, so there's nothing to turn off!

14. Analytics and Advertising

SpinGoose does not use:

• Analytics platforms (like Google Analytics)
• Advertising networks or ad trackers
• Social media pixels or tracking scripts
• Third-party data collection tools

Our platform is ad-free and tracking-free. We're here purely to entertain, not to monetize your data.

15. Legal Basis for Processing

The minimal local processing that occurs (storing age verification) is based on:

• Your explicit consent when you confirm you're 18+
• Our legitimate interest in preventing underage access
• Compliance with age restriction requirements

16. Questions and Contact
