Privacy Policy

Last updated: [09/09/2026]

1. Who we are

Easy Cat Games (easycatgames.com) is a small independently run project. For any questions about this policy or your data, you can contact us at admin@easycatgames.com.

2. Types of Cookies Used

• Essential Cookies: Required for the game to function correctly, including saving game state, preferences, scores, and progress.
• Analytics Cookies (Optional): Google Analytics is used to understand how players use the game and improve the experience.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (or Google LLC), to collect information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent
• Game interactions (moves, scores)
• Device and browser information
• General location (country/region level)

This information helps us improve gameplay and site performance. Analytics tracking is enabled only if you provide consent. Google Analytics may process this data outside the European Economic Area; Google's standard contractual clauses and its own privacy policy govern that transfer. You can read more about how Google handles data at policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for optional Analytics cookies — you can accept or decline these via the cookie banner.
• Legitimate interest for essential cookies needed to make the site function (for example, saving your progress).

5. Data Storage

• Your consent preferences are stored locally in your browser.
• Essential game data, such as scores and progress, is also stored locally on your device.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

Locally stored data (progress, preferences) stays on your device until you clear your browser storage. Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's own retention settings, which we configure to the shortest period that still lets us understand site usage.

7. Managing Consent

You can accept or reject optional analytics cookies through the cookie consent banner shown when you first visit the site. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser storage or revisiting the cookie settings (if you add a "manage cookies" link/button, mention it here).

8. Your Rights (EEA/UK visitors)

If GDPR applies to you, you have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time (this won't affect processing done before withdrawal)
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Since we store almost everything locally in your browser rather than on our servers, most of these rights are already in your hands — clearing your browser storage removes essential/local data, and declining or later disabling Analytics cookies stops further analytics collection.

9. Children's Privacy

Easy Cat Games does not knowingly collect personal data from children. The site does not require account creation or personal information to play.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
