Privacy Policy
Effective Date: November 5, 2024
Privacy Philosophy at Archipelia
Privacy forms the bedrock of trust between Archipelia and our users. This Privacy Policy articulates our approach to data handling, storage, and protection. We've designed our social casino platform with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought.
Information Collection Practices
Archipelia follows a minimalist approach to data collection. Unlike many online platforms, we do not require user accounts, registrations, or personal profiles. The information we interact with is limited to:
- Age verification confirmation stored locally in your browser's storage
- Basic technical data such as browser type, device category, and screen resolution for optimization purposes
- Session-based game state information that remains on your device
- Anonymous usage patterns that help us improve platform performance
Importantly, none of this information is linked to your personal identity or shared with third parties.
Local Storage and Browser Data
Archipelia utilizes your browser's local storage capabilities to enhance your experience. This includes remembering your age verification status so you don't need to confirm eligibility on every visit. All data stored locally remains entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You maintain full control over this data and can clear it anytime through your browser's privacy settings.
Absence of User Tracking
Archipelia does not employ tracking technologies to monitor your behavior across sessions or across the web. We don't use cookies for advertising purposes, don't integrate with social media tracking pixels, and don't participate in cross-site tracking networks. Your gaming sessions remain private and isolated.
Third-Party Services
Our platform maintains minimal dependencies on external services. Where third-party resources are utilized (such as font delivery services), these providers do not have access to identifying information about you. We carefully evaluate all external services to ensure they align with our privacy commitments.
Data Security Measures
Because Archipelia doesn't collect or centrally store personal information, the attack surface for data breaches is virtually nonexistent. There's no database of user credentials or personal details that could be compromised. The information stored in your browser benefits from your browser's security protections and remains under your direct control.
Children's Privacy Protection
Archipelia is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or process information from minors. Our age verification systems are designed to prevent underage access. Parents and guardians should implement appropriate device-level parental controls to restrict access to age-restricted content.
Your Privacy Rights
Given our minimal data collection model, traditional privacy rights (access, deletion, portability) apply differently to Archipelia. Since we don't maintain user accounts or store personal information on servers, there's no centralized data to access or delete. Any locally stored preferences can be cleared through your browser's settings at any time.
International Privacy Considerations
Archipelia can be accessed from various global locations. Our privacy-first approach means there are no cross-border data transfers to be concerned about, as we don't collect personal data that would require such transfers. Local browser storage remains in your jurisdiction under your control.
Policy Updates and Changes
Should our privacy practices evolve, this policy will be updated to reflect those changes. Material modifications will be indicated by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. We encourage periodic review of this page to stay informed about our privacy commitments.
Privacy Questions and Concerns
We believe in transparent communication regarding privacy matters. If you have specific questions about how Archipelia handles privacy, this policy should address most concerns. Our architecture is intentionally designed to minimize data collection and maximize user privacy.
