Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
At AUTODLE ("we", "our", or "us"), accessible from our primary web properties, the privacy of our visitors is of paramount importance. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by AUTODLE and how we utilize it in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Google AdSense Publisher Policies.
2. Information We Collect
AUTODLE operates primarily as a client-rendered interactive application. We do not require users to submit sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) to play our games.
- Local Storage Data: To remember your theme preferences (dark/light), daily game progress, streak records, unlimited mode high scores, and local username credentials, we store key-value pairs directly in your browser's local storage. This information remains on your device and is not sold or transferred.
- Log Files: Like standard web platforms, our cloud hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare) collects standard server log data, including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. This data is not linked to personally identifiable information and is used exclusively for site administration, security, and traffic telemetry.
- Optional Contact Inquiries: If you contact us directly via email, we may receive additional information such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
3. Cookies and Advertising Partners (Google AdSense)
AUTODLE utilizes standard HTTP cookies and third-party advertising partners, notably Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads on our site based on users' previous visits to AUTODLE or other websites on the internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at www.aboutads.info.
- Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons in their respective advertisements and links that appear on AUTODLE. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.
4. GDPR & CCPA Rights
We want to make sure you are fully aware of all your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:
- The right to access and clear locally stored game data directly within browser settings.
- The right to rectification of any erroneous contact records.
- The right to erasure of optional account identifiers.
- The right to opt-out of third-party cookie telemetry via our integrated Cookie Consent Banner.
