Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Commitment

At GlowThorn, we deeply value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of data when you visit and use our social casino entertainment platform. We believe in transparency and want you to understand exactly how we handle information.

By using GlowThorn, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. We encourage you to read this document carefully to understand our approach to privacy and data protection.

2. Information We Collect

GlowThorn operates as a minimal-data platform focused on entertainment. We collect very limited information necessary to provide our services. This includes technical information such as browser type, device information, and general usage patterns that help us improve the platform experience.

We use localStorage or session cookies primarily to remember your age verification consent, ensuring you are not repeatedly prompted. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. We do not collect personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or contact details unless you voluntarily provide them for specific purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

The minimal data we collect is used exclusively to enhance your experience on GlowThorn. Technical information helps us optimize platform performance, identify and fix technical issues, and understand general usage patterns to improve our entertainment offerings.

We do not use your information for marketing purposes, nor do we sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for their commercial gain. Your age verification status is stored solely to comply with our age restriction policies and provide a seamless user experience.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

GlowThorn uses minimal cookies and local storage mechanisms to maintain your session and remember your age verification status. These are essential for the platform to function properly and provide a smooth user experience without repeatedly asking for the same information.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. However, disabling cookies or local storage may affect the functionality of our platform, particularly the age verification feature, which may require you to confirm your age on each visit.

5. Third-Party Services

Our platform may contain links to external resources, including responsible gaming organizations. When you click on these links, you leave GlowThorn and enter third-party websites that have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites.

We do not embed third-party tracking scripts or analytics tools that collect detailed personal information. Our focus is on providing entertainment while respecting your privacy.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited data we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission is completely secure.

Since GlowThorn does not collect sensitive personal information, financial data, or account credentials, the security risks associated with using our platform are minimal. Game progress and virtual credits exist only within your browser session and have no real-world value.

7. Children's Privacy

GlowThorn is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. Our age verification system is designed to prevent access by underage users. If we become aware that a minor has accessed our platform, we will take appropriate steps to restrict access.

Parents and guardians should monitor their children's internet usage and ensure they do not access age-restricted entertainment platforms.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Given the minimal data we collect, there is limited personal information to access, modify, or delete. Your age verification status stored in local storage can be cleared by clearing your browser cache and cookies. This will reset your access and require you to verify your age again on your next visit.

If you have concerns about privacy or data protection, you can contact us through the information provided on our platform. We are committed to addressing privacy-related inquiries promptly and transparently.

9. International Users

GlowThorn may be accessed from various locations around the world. If you are accessing our platform from outside your country of residence, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in different jurisdictions. By using our platform, you consent to the transfer of information to countries that may have different data protection laws.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Continued use of GlowThorn after any modifications to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. Material changes to our privacy practices will be communicated through appropriate notices on our platform.

11. Data Retention

Since GlowThorn stores minimal data primarily through local storage on your device, data retention is controlled by you. You can delete all stored data at any time by clearing your browser's cache and local storage. We do not maintain long-term databases of user activity or personal information.

12. No Behavioral Tracking

GlowThorn does not engage in behavioral tracking, profiling, or targeted advertising. We do not monitor your activities across different websites or build user profiles for marketing purposes. Your entertainment activities on our platform remain private and are not used to create personalized advertising profiles.

13. Contact Us

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out to us through the contact information available on our platform. We value your feedback and are committed to maintaining transparent communication about privacy matters.
