Privacy Philosophy

At Eldrinor Social Casino, we believe privacy is a fundamental right in the digital age. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to protecting your information and explains our minimal data collection approach. We've built Eldrinor on principles of transparency, simplicity, and respect for user privacy.

Because Eldrinor is a free-to-play social gaming platform with no financial transactions, we collect significantly less information than typical online services. This policy will help you understand exactly what limited data we may gather and how it's used to improve your entertainment experience.

Information Collection Overview

Eldrinor operates with a privacy-first philosophy, collecting only essential information required for platform functionality. Here's what we may collect:

Age Verification Information: When you first visit Eldrinor, you're asked to confirm you're 18 years or older. This confirmation is stored locally in your browser using localStorage technology. This data remains exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

Automated Technical Data: Like virtually all websites, Eldrinor may automatically collect certain technical information through standard web technologies:

• Browser type, version, and language settings
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet) and operating system
• Screen resolution and display capabilities
• Approximate geographic location (country/region level only, derived from IP address)
• Referring website or source that directed you to Eldrinor
• Pages viewed, features used, and time spent on platform
• Date and time of access

This technical data helps us optimize platform performance across different devices and browsers, ensuring the best possible experience for all users.

Game Interaction Data: Your game preferences, virtual credit balances, and gameplay progress may be stored locally in your browser. This allows your gaming session to resume where you left off without requiring account creation or server-side data storage.

How We Use Information

The limited information Eldrinor collects serves specific, legitimate purposes focused on platform improvement and user experience enhancement:

Platform Functionality: Technical data enables core platform features to work correctly across diverse devices and browsers. This ensures games load properly, controls respond appropriately, and the interface displays correctly regardless of your hardware or software configuration.

Performance Optimization: By understanding which devices and browsers our users employ, we can prioritize optimization efforts to benefit the maximum number of people. If we notice performance issues on specific configurations, this data helps us identify and resolve those problems.

Security and Integrity: Technical information assists in detecting and preventing potential security threats, automated abuse, or attempts to exploit our platform. This protects both Eldrinor and our user community.

Feature Development: Understanding how users interact with our platform?which games they enjoy, which features they use most?guides our development priorities and helps us create better entertainment experiences.

Age Compliance: Age verification ensures we maintain our 18+ requirement in accordance with responsible gaming principles and industry standards.

What We Don't Do

It's equally important to understand what Eldrinor does NOT do with data:

• No Data Sales: We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade any user information to third parties under any circumstances
• No Targeted Advertising: We do not use your data for behavioral advertising or ad targeting purposes
• No Personal Information Collection: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, or other personally identifying information
• No Account Requirements: Because we don't require account creation, there's no profile information to collect or store
• No Cross-Site Tracking: We do not track your activities across other websites or online services
• No Financial Data: Since no monetary transactions occur, we never collect credit card information, banking details, or any financial data

Browser Storage Technologies

Eldrinor utilizes standard browser storage mechanisms to enhance your experience:

Local Storage: We use HTML5 localStorage to save your age verification status and game progress. This information is stored entirely within your web browser on your device. You maintain complete control over this data and can delete it anytime through your browser settings. Clearing localStorage will require you to verify your age again and will reset your game progress.

Session Storage: Temporary session data may be maintained while you actively use Eldrinor. This data is automatically erased when you close your browser tab or window.

No Third-Party Cookies: Eldrinor does not employ third-party cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. Any storage we use is strictly for platform functionality, not surveillance.

Third-Party Services

Eldrinor maintains minimal relationships with external services:

Web Fonts: Our platform uses Google Fonts to ensure consistent, attractive typography across all devices. When you access Eldrinor, your browser may download font files from Google's servers. This interaction is governed by Google's privacy policy, over which we have no control.

External Links: Eldrinor provides links to responsible gaming organizations including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. Clicking these links takes you away from Eldrinor to external websites with their own privacy policies and data practices.

Hosting Infrastructure: Our platform is hosted on secure web servers. Standard web server logs may record technical information like IP addresses for security and technical troubleshooting purposes. These logs contain no personally identifiable information.

Data Security Measures

While Eldrinor collects minimal data and no sensitive personal information, we still implement reasonable security practices:

• Our platform utilizes standard HTTPS encryption when available to protect data transmission
• We maintain no central user database that could be compromised in a data breach
• Local storage data remains on your device under your browser's security protections
• We regularly review our platform for potential security vulnerabilities
• Access to any server logs or technical data is restricted to essential personnel only

Because Eldrinor processes no financial transactions and requires no sensitive personal information, the inherent risk associated with using our platform is minimal compared to services that handle sensitive data.

Your Privacy Rights

As an Eldrinor user, you maintain significant control over your data:

Access: The minimal data we store locally in your browser can be viewed using your browser's developer tools or settings menu.

Deletion: You can delete all Eldrinor-related data by clearing your browser's storage (localStorage and cache) through browser settings. This is a simple process available in all modern browsers.

Control: Since data is stored locally on your device rather than on our servers, you maintain direct control over it at all times.

Portability: Any data stored locally in your browser can be viewed and exported using standard browser tools if desired.

No Opt-Outs Needed: Because we don't engage in tracking, profiling, or targeted advertising, there are no marketing communications or tracking systems to opt out of.

Children's Privacy Protection

Eldrinor is exclusively designed for adults and is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our age verification system is specifically designed to prevent access by individuals under the age threshold.

If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed our platform despite our age verification, we would take immediate steps to prevent continued access. Parents and guardians should supervise their children's internet usage and ensure minors do not access age-restricted content like social casino platforms.

International Users

Eldrinor is accessible globally, and users may access our platform from various jurisdictions with different privacy laws and regulations. By using Eldrinor, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in accordance with the privacy practices described in this policy, which may differ from the requirements of your specific jurisdiction.

Users in jurisdictions with specific data protection regulations should understand that Eldrinor's minimal data collection approach and lack of personal information requirements means many common data privacy concerns simply don't apply to our platform.

Policy Updates

Eldrinor reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy as our practices evolve, technology changes, or legal requirements dictate. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy.

Material changes to our privacy practices will be communicated through prominent notice on our platform. However, we encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Your continued use of Eldrinor after policy modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.

Questions About Privacy

We've designed this Privacy Policy to be comprehensive and transparent about our data practices. If you have questions or concerns about how Eldrinor handles information, we encourage you to review this policy carefully as it addresses most common privacy-related inquiries.

Remember that Eldrinor's architecture?free to play, no accounts, no personal information collection, no financial transactions?inherently provides strong privacy protections compared to many online services.
