Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information ZapGames (the “Service”) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account information — if you register, we store your username, email address and password (hashed). Registration is optional and only needed to save favourites and post comments.
Usage data — we may collect non-identifying data such as pages viewed, games played, ratings and approximate region, to operate and improve the Service.
Local storage — your browser stores small items (e.g. theme choice, recently played games, cookie consent) on your device. This data stays in your browser and is not sent to our servers.
Technical data — standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type and timestamps for security and diagnostics.

2. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We and our partners use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, measure traffic and serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features.

3. Third-Party Advertising

show advertisements based on your visits to this and other websites (interest-based advertising);
measure the performance of ads.

We do not control these third-party cookies. You can learn about interest-based advertising and opt out via aboutads.info/choices, youronlinechoices.eu, or Google’s Ads Settings.

4. Third-Party Games

Games on the Service are provided by independent third-party developers and networks and are embedded via iframes from their servers. When you play, those third parties may set their own cookies and collect data under their own privacy policies, which we do not control. See our Terms of Service for more.

5. Analytics

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Service. These tools collect aggregated, non-identifying usage information via cookies to help us improve the experience.

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers (such as advertising, analytics and hosting partners) as needed to run the Service, or where required by law.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Service is intended for a general audience and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents and guardians should supervise minors’ use of the Service and the third-party games and ads shown through it.
