Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 12, 2025

MapleArcadia ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our website (the "Service").

Our guiding principle is to collect only the minimum information necessary to provide and improve our Service. We do not require user registration and do not collect personal identifying information (PII) such as your name, home address, or phone number, except for what you voluntarily provide in a contact form.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide so that we can respond to your inquiry. We only use this information for the purpose of communicating with you about your request.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we collect non-personally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available. This includes:

• Log Data: Browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
• Analytics: We may use third-party analytics services (like a privacy-focused Plausible or a self-hosted Matomo) to collect anonymous, aggregated data about website traffic, such as which pages are most popular. This data is not used to personally identify you.

2. Cookies and LocalStorage

We use "Cookies" and "LocalStorage" to operate and improve the Service.

• LocalStorage: We use your browser's LocalStorage to save your preferences. This includes:
  • Your age verification status (to avoid showing you the age-gate on every visit).
  • Your cookie consent preferences.
  • Local game data, such as your high scores or "total plays" (as described in the Challenges section). This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Cookies: We use a minimal number of cookies.
  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for the basic functionality of the site, such as security and cookie consent.
  • Analytics Cookies (if you consent): Used to gather anonymous statistics about site usage.

For more details, please see our Cookie Policy.

3. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our Service.
• Respond to your support requests or inquiries.
• Understand and analyze how you use our Service to improve it (using anonymous, aggregated data).
• Ensure the security and integrity of our platform.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We do not share any personal information with third parties, except as required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we handle. However, no electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Your Rights

Since we do not maintain user accounts or store personal data, your main point of control is your own browser. You can clear your LocalStorage or Cookies at any time to remove your saved preferences and local high scores. For inquiries about any data you may have submitted via our contact form, please email us.

7. Links to Other Websites

Our Service may contain links to other websites (e.g., responsible gaming resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personal information.
