Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Data Controller

This Privacy Policy explains how GamesLoom, operated by Storksware Private Limited (“we,” “our,” or “us”), handles information when you visit gamesloom.com, play any of our browser games, or communicate with our support team. Storksware Private Limited is the data controller responsible for personal information processed through this website. You can enjoy our entire game library without registering an account or providing personally identifiable information.

2. Games and Hosting Architecture

GamesLoom's active catalog consists entirely of games that GamesLoom develops, publishes, or directly hosts on high-speed content delivery networks (CDNs). Games run client-side in your web browser using HTML5, Canvas, or Unity WebGL technology. Our game assets load securely over HTTPS. No invasive desktop software, browser extensions, or executable downloads are ever required to play.

3. Information Collected by GamesLoom

We practice data minimization and do not maintain user accounts, passwords, or credit card billing profiles. The technical information we handle is strictly limited to:

• Server and Security Logs: Our web servers automatically log standard network request data, including IP address, access timestamp, requested URL path, referring URL, user-agent string (browser type and operating system), and HTTP status codes to maintain site security, mitigate DDoS threats, and resolve technical errors.
• Correspondence Data: If you contact us via email ([email protected]) or our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and message content solely to investigate your inquiry and respond.

4. Browser Storage and Local Saved State

GamesLoom uses client-side browser storage (such as HTML5 localStorage and IndexedDB) to store your personal gameplay preferences locally on your device:

• Player Preferences: Your list of favorited games, recently played game history, and color theme preferences (dark/light mode).
• Local Game Progress: High scores, completed level flags, and checkpoint states for games that support in-browser saves.
• Cookie Consent: Your recorded decision on our analytics consent banner.

*Note: Local browser storage is stored entirely on your device and is never uploaded or transmitted to our servers. You can reset or delete this data at any time through your web browser's site data settings.

5. Advertising, Google AdSense, Ad Manager, and Third-Party Cookies

To support the free availability of our gaming library without subscription paywalls, GamesLoom displays third-party advertisements served by Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager, and authorized monetization partners under Google Multiple Customer Management (MCM) delegations (including our partner Azerion).

We also utilize Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand audience demographics, popular gameplay categories, page load speeds, and technical performance metrics. For more information on how Google processes data, please visit How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps That Use Our Services.

6. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

GamesLoom is a general-audience digital gaming platform offering casual, arcade, and puzzle games. We do not design our platform to solicit personal information from children, nor do we knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain European jurisdictions), in strict adherence to the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international standards.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us (such as via an email inquiry or feedback form), please contact us immediately at [email protected]. Upon verification, we will promptly locate and permanently delete any such information from our records.

7. Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your country or state of residence, you are entitled to specific statutory rights regarding your personal data:

To exercise any of these privacy rights, email us at [email protected]. We verify and respond to all verified requests within statutory timeframes.

8. Your Privacy Choices and Browser Controls

• Cookie Management: You can configure your browser to block cookies, notify you when cookies are placed, or clear existing cookies and local site data at any time.
• Analytics Consent: Use the interactive cookie banner displayed on GamesLoom to accept or decline non-essential analytical cookies.
• Resetting Saved State: To reset your local favorites, recently played history, and game progress, simply clear your browser's site data for gamesloom.com.

9. External Links and Retention Policy

GamesLoom pages and third-party advertisements may link to external websites or third-party platforms. We have no control over the privacy policies or content of those external services. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any destination you visit. Technical access logs are retained only as long as necessary for security auditing, DDoS defense, and operational troubleshooting before being purged.

10. Policy Updates and Modification History

We may periodically revise this Privacy Policy to reflect technical updates, game catalog expansions, or changes in applicable privacy regulations. When updates are published, the “Last updated” timestamp at the top of this document will be amended accordingly. Continued use of GamesLoom following an update signifies your acceptance of the revised terms.
