Website — Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This notice explains how Maude’s Games handles personal information when you visit https://maudesgames.com/ and associated official pages (the “Site”), communicate with us, or interact with advertising and analytics tools where applicable. Our individual games may have separate privacy notices describing their own processing.

2. Information collected

You may provide contact details, messages and attachments when contacting us or subscribing to a service where offered. Our hosting and security systems may receive IP addresses, browser and device characteristics, page requests, timestamps, diagnostics and approximate location inferred from IP.

Where site analytics, cookies, advertising tags or embedded third-party content are enabled, the relevant technologies may process cookie or browser identifiers, page interactions, referral details, and advertising measurement events. The precise tools depend on the active website configuration.

3. Google AdSense and advertising

Where enabled on the Site, Google AdSense and other website advertising services may process cookie or device identifiers, IP addresses, impressions, interactions and related data to deliver, secure, measure or personalize ads, subject to applicable law and choices. AdSense concerns website advertising; AdMob is used within our mobile games.

Google’s privacy notice is at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Other advertising or measurement partners may be involved where enabled. We disclose relevant partners and provide required notice or consent where applicable.

If Google AdSense ads are displayed, Google and other authorized advertising vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to deliver and measure advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on visits to this Site and, where permitted, other websites. Visitors can review Google advertising personalization choices at https://myadcenter.google.com/ and may find additional advertising opt-out information at https://www.aboutads.info/. These choices do not necessarily replace consent or other rights required by applicable law.

Where third-party ad networks beyond Google are used, their identities and relevant privacy options must be disclosed through this notice or an accessible supplementary disclosure, where applicable.

4. Analytics and Firebase

Where Google Analytics, Firebase-connected website services, analytics tags or other measurement services are enabled, they may process page views, browser/device data, events, and technical information used to understand usage and improve the Site. Services are covered by this notice only to the extent implemented in the website configuration.

5. Purposes and legal bases

We use information to operate and secure the Site, respond to inquiries, measure traffic and advertising, detect abuse, improve content and comply with legal duties. Where EU or UK law applies, processing may rely on consent, legitimate interests, contractual necessity or legal obligation depending on its purpose and circumstances. Where prior cookie or similar technology consent is legally required, it must be obtained before that processing begins.

6. Cookies, consent and choices

The Site may use necessary cookies and, where enabled, analytics or advertising cookies and similar technologies. Where applicable, a consent mechanism provides required choices, including the ability to decline or withdraw consent. Browser settings may also permit cookie management.

Where a legally binding opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control applies, we assess and honor it as required. For other privacy requests, email info@maudesgames.com.

The availability of a cookie banner, preferences control, or privacy signal does not itself demonstrate compliance; the relevant tags and SDKs must be configured to honor valid consent and opt-out choices where required.

7. Disclosure to service providers

Relevant information may be processed by website hosting, security, analytics, AdSense/advertising, customer support, email or other providers, where enabled. We may disclose information in response to lawful obligations or appropriate security needs. The characterization of any advertising disclosure as “sale” or “sharing” depends on applicable law and the actual configuration.

8. Children

The Site is a publisher website linking to games with separate age ratings and privacy notices. Where children’s privacy requirements apply, we provide required protections and parental notices or consent. Parents may contact info@maudesgames.com with concerns.

9. Retention, security and transfers

Contact communications are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to address requests and legal obligations. Server logs, analytics and advertising data have distinct retention arrangements based on configuration, provider settings and legal requirements. We employ reasonable safeguards but cannot guarantee absolute security. Data may be processed in the United States or other provider locations, subject to required transfer safeguards where applicable.

10. California, GDPR and international rights

Where the CCPA/CPRA applies, California residents may have rights of access, correction, deletion, opt-out and other protections established by law. Potential categories of information include identifiers, web activity, approximate location derived from IP, and contact communications; these may be disclosed to relevant hosting, advertising and analytics recipients.

Where GDPR, UK GDPR or other regional privacy laws apply, additional rights may include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, consent withdrawal and regulatory complaint. Applicable notices, deadlines and representatives depend on the processing activity and law. Send requests to info@maudesgames.com.

Depending on applicable law, you may also request information about categories of personal information processed and shared, and relevant retention practices. We do not make an unconditional statement that advertising-related disclosures can never constitute a sale or sharing under California law.

11. External links and updates

The Site may link to app stores, social platforms and other independent sites with their own privacy notices. We may update this notice to reflect operational or legal changes, and we will update the revision date and provide any additional notice or consent required.
