Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Commitment

Within Hauntoria's shadowy corridors, privacy is not merely a policy—it's a sacred trust. We understand that even in a realm of spectral entertainment, your information deserves protection. This Privacy Policy illuminates how we handle data within our social casino platform.

Transparency guides our approach. We want every visitor to Hauntoria to understand precisely what information passes through our realm and how we utilize it to enhance your gaming experience. This policy applies universally to all who enter here.

Information That Passes Through Our Realm

Hauntoria has been designed to minimize data collection while maintaining full functionality. The information that may cross our threshold includes:

Technical Echoes

When you enter Hauntoria, certain technical information naturally manifests through standard web technologies. This may include your browser variety, device characteristics, operating system, and approximate geographic location (country or regional level). These technical echoes help us ensure Hauntoria functions properly across diverse devices and browsers.

We may also gather basic usage patterns—which pages you visit within our realm, how long you linger in various chambers, and which features capture your attention. This information helps us understand how visitors interact with Hauntoria and guides our efforts to improve the overall experience.

Age Verification Records

To enforce our strict age requirement, we store a simple marker in your browser's local storage confirming that you've verified your age as 18 or above. This marker resides on your device, not our servers, and serves solely to prevent the age verification prompt from appearing on return visits.

Gaming Progress and Preferences

Your game progress, virtual credit balances, and personal preferences may be stored locally within your browser using technologies like localStorage or sessionStorage. This data remains on your device, allowing you to resume your gaming experience where you left off. We do not collect or store this information on our servers.

How We Use Information

The limited information that passes through Hauntoria serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience:

• Maintaining and providing the functionality of our social casino platform
• Ensuring games and features operate correctly across different devices and browsers
• Understanding user interaction patterns to guide platform improvements
• Enforcing our age restrictions to maintain a safe environment
• Detecting and preventing technical issues or platform abuse
• Enhancing overall performance and user experience

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Hauntoria employs standard web technologies including cookies and local storage to provide essential functionality. These tools are necessary for the platform to operate correctly and to remember your age verification status.

We do not deploy tracking cookies for advertising purposes. The cookies and local storage we use serve strictly functional purposes essential to your use of Hauntoria. Most data storage occurs locally on your device rather than on our servers.

You maintain control over cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies or local storage may prevent certain Hauntoria features from functioning properly, including the age verification system.

Third-Party Portals

Hauntoria contains portals to external realms, including responsible gaming resources such as GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. We provide these links as a service to our community, but we bear no responsibility for the privacy practices of these external sites.

When you depart Hauntoria through one of these portals, you become subject to the privacy policy of your destination. We encourage reviewing the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

Security Measures

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited information associated with your use of Hauntoria. However, since most data is stored locally on your device rather than our servers, you play a crucial role in maintaining information security.

We recommend using updated browsers, maintaining device security, and exercising caution regarding the security of your equipment. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage achieves perfect security, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

Data Retention

Since Hauntoria primarily relies on local storage within your device, most data persists only as long as you choose to maintain it. You can clear your browser's local storage and cookies at any time to remove all Hauntoria-related data from your device.

Any technical or usage data we may collect is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy—typically for a limited period to help us improve the platform.

Protection of Minors

Hauntoria is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our age verification system is designed to prevent underage access to our platform.

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we will take immediate action to delete such information. Parents and guardians should monitor their children's internet usage and prevent access to age-restricted platforms like Hauntoria.

Your Rights and Control

You possess several rights regarding your privacy when using Hauntoria:

• You may cease using the platform at any time
• You can clear all locally stored data by clearing your browser's cache and local storage
• You can disable cookies through browser settings, though this may affect functionality
• You can contact us with questions or concerns about information handling

International Access

Hauntoria is accessible from locations around the world. If you access our platform from outside your country of residence, be aware that your information may be processed in different jurisdictions. By using Hauntoria, you consent to information processing as described in this privacy policy.

Policy Updates

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will indicate the date of the most recent update at the bottom of this policy.

We encourage periodic review of this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of Hauntoria after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

No Tracking Philosophy

Hauntoria does not engage in cross-site tracking, behavioral advertising, or selling user data. We do not share your information with advertisers or data brokers. Our platform focuses entirely on providing entertainment without invasive data collection practices.

Contact Information

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out to us through the appropriate channels. We value your privacy and are committed to addressing any concerns about how we handle information within Hauntoria.
