Privacy Policy

We care about providing a safe, enjoyable, and user-friendly website. We also respect the privacy of our visitors and aim to be transparent about how information may be collected and used. This policy explains what happens when you visit PlayNova.

Information we may collect

Like most websites, PlayNova may automatically collect limited technical information when you visit, including:

• Browser type and version, device type, and operating system
• Pages visited, time spent, and general navigation patterns
• Approximate location derived from IP address
• Standard server logs (date, time, requested page, referring page)

If you email us via our contact page, we only see whatever you choose to include in that email — solely to respond to your enquiry.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the website and the games it links to
• To understand which games and categories are popular, so we can curate the library better
• To respond to messages you send us by email
• To keep the site secure and prevent abuse

Cookies & similar technologies

PlayNova uses cookies or similar local storage for a few different reasons: to remember basic preferences, to understand overall site usage, and — where you've allowed it — to support the advertising described below. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; most of the site will still work, though some conveniences (and ad personalization) may be lost. When you first visit, a short banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies; your choice is remembered on that device.

Advertising & Google AdSense

PlayNova is supported in part by advertising, including ads served through Google AdSense. This is fairly standard for sites like ours, but we want to be upfront about how it works:

• Google and other third-party ad vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites on the web.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a number of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
• We don't control the cookies these third parties set, and their use of that data is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.

Ad placements on PlayNova are clearly marked, and we try to keep them out of the way of the actual games.

Third-party games

Games on PlayNova are embedded from third-party providers and publishers. When you play an embedded game, that provider's own privacy practices may apply to your interaction with the game itself. We encourage you to review the relevant provider's policy if you have concerns about a specific game.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited technical data with service providers who help us run the website (for example, hosting) or serve ads (for example, Google AdSense), strictly to operate the site, and only as necessary.

Your choices

• You can browse most of PlayNova without providing any personal information
• You can decline non-essential cookies from the banner shown on your first visit
• You can opt out of personalized ads via the Google and industry opt-out links above
• You can choose not to email us if you'd rather not share your details
• You can clear cookies or browse in a private window at any time

Children's privacy

PlayNova is designed to be family-friendly, but it is not directed at collecting personal information from children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent.

Changes to this policy

We continuously work to improve PlayNova, and this policy may be updated from time to time to reflect those changes. We'll update the "last updated" date above whenever we do.
