12. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in circumstances where such collection is prohibited by law.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent and we have not obtained the required consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information as required by applicable law.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us:

Privacy Email: Contact Us

If OnlineBoardGamez determines that it is directed to children under 13, has actual knowledge that it is collecting personal information from children under 13, or otherwise becomes subject to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), we will comply with applicable COPPA requirements, including requirements concerning parental notice, consent, parental rights, data minimization, security, and retention.

COPPA’s requirements apply in particular circumstances to operators of child-directed services and general-audience services with actual knowledge that they collect personal information from children under 13.


13. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

The length of time we retain information may depend on:

  • The purpose for which the information was collected;
  • Whether the information is necessary to provide a requested service;
  • Legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory requirements;
  • Security and fraud-prevention needs;
  • Dispute resolution;
  • Enforcement of agreements;
  • Backup and disaster-recovery requirements; and
  • Other legitimate business needs permitted by law.

When personal information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, de-identify, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable law.

We do not retain personal information indefinitely merely because it has been collected.


14. Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, misuse, or disclosure.

Depending on the nature of the information and our operations, safeguards may include:

  • Access controls;
  • Authentication controls;
  • HTTPS/TLS encryption for data transmitted through supported Site connections;
  • Security monitoring;
  • System and software protections;
  • Restricted access to personal information; and
  • Other reasonable security measures.

No method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that personal information will always be completely secure.


15. International Data Transfers

OnlineBoardGamez and its service providers may process or store personal information in countries other than the country where you reside.

Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws of your jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will use appropriate safeguards as required by that law.


16. Third-Party Websites, Services, and Content

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, games, services, advertisements, platforms, or other resources.

Those third parties may collect information directly from you.

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services, and this Privacy Policy does not govern their collection or use of information.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing them with personal information.

Third-party advertising, analytics, and other technologies may also operate on or through the Site. Their collection and use of information may be governed by their own privacy policies and applicable agreements.


17. Communications

If you contact us, we may use the information you provide to respond to your request.

If you request board-game rankings, game updates, news, newsletters, or other communications, we may use your contact information to provide those communications.

You may unsubscribe from promotional or optional email communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism contained in the communication or by contacting us.

We may continue to send non-promotional communications when reasonably necessary, such as communications concerning your request, security, legal obligations, or the operation of a service.


18. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting.

Because there is not a universally accepted technical standard governing all Do Not Track signals, the Site may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a specific opt-out preference signal, we will process that signal in accordance with applicable law.


19. De-Identified and Aggregated Information

We may create aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information from personal information.

Where permitted by applicable law, we may use and disclose such information for purposes including:

  • Analytics;
  • Research;
  • Site improvement;
  • Performance measurement;
  • Business operations; and
  • Reporting.

We will not attempt to re-identify information that we are required by law to maintain as de-identified.


20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

  • Our services;
  • Our data practices;
  • Cookies and tracking technologies;
  • Analytics and advertising practices;
  • Applicable laws and regulations; or
  • Other operational circumstances.

When we update this Privacy Policy, we will change the Last Updated date at the top of the policy.

If required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice of material changes or obtain consent where required.

Your continued use of the Site after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective does not eliminate any rights you may have under applicable law.
