Children's Privacy
Our website and games are designed to be family-friendly and appropriate for users of all ages. However, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete such information from our systems. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at contact@domain.com.
Our games use only local storage to save progress and preferences, which remains on the user's device and is not transmitted to our servers. This approach minimizes data collection while still providing a personalized gaming experience.
International Users
GameHub is accessible worldwide, and we welcome users from all countries. If you are accessing our website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located.
We are committed to protecting your privacy regardless of your location and will handle your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European Union users.
