Privacy Policy - How We Protect Your Data

1. Introduction

Welcome to sudokuyes.com. Your privacy matters to us, and we want you to understand how we handle your information when you use our free sudoku games. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. We're committed to being transparent about our practices and protecting your personal information.

2. What Information Do We Collect?

When you play sudoku on our site, you might provide us with certain information, such as:

• Your game progress and puzzle preferences that get saved locally on your device
• Difficulty level choices you make while playing
• Settings and customizations you select for your gaming experience

2.2 Information We Collect Automatically

Like most websites, we automatically gather some technical information when you visit, including:

• What browser you're using and its version
• Your device type and operating system
• Your IP address and general location (city/region level, not your exact address)
• Which pages you visit and how long you spend on them

3. How Do We Use Your Information?

We use the information we collect for several important purposes:

• To provide and keep our sudoku games running smoothly

• To understand how people use our site so we can make improvements
• To keep our website secure and prevent any misuse
• To meet our legal requirements and obligations

4. Local Storage and Your Game Data

We use your browser's local storage feature to save things like your game progress, difficulty preferences, and settings. Here's the important part: this information stays on your device. We don't send it to our servers, and we can't access it. It's yours, and you can delete it anytime by clearing your browser's local storage in your browser settings.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to make our website work better and understand how visitors use it. Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device. They help us remember your preferences and improve your experience. You have full control over cookies—you can block or delete them through your browser settings at any time.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website might include links to other websites or services that we don't control. We're not responsible for how those third-party sites handle your privacy. If you click on a link to another website, we encourage you to read their privacy policy to understand how they collect and use your information.

7. How We Protect Your Data

We take data security seriously and use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. That said, it's important to know that no method of transmitting data over the internet is 100% secure. While we do our best to keep your information safe, we can't guarantee absolute security.

8. Privacy for Children

Our sudoku games are suitable for players of all ages, including children. However, we don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years old. If you're a parent or guardian and you believe your child has given us personal information, please reach out to us and we'll take steps to remove that information.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights when it comes to your personal information. These might include:

• The right to see what personal information we have about you
• The right to correct any inaccurate information we have
• The right to ask us to delete your information
• The right to object to how we process your information
• The right to get a copy of your data in a portable format

10. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time as our practices evolve or as laws change. When we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We recommend checking back periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
