2. Information We DO NOT Collect
Unlike many modern platforms, G-Switch Games requires no user accounts, no login passwords, and no credit card details. We do NOT collect:
- Personal names, physical addresses, or phone numbers.
- Payment card, billing, or financial information.

3. Information Collected Automatically (Log Data)
When you access our website, standard web server technology automatically logs non-identifiable technical data to maintain server performance and security. This may include:

4. Cookies, Local Storage & Analytics
We utilize browser cookies and HTML5 Local Storage to improve your gaming experience:
Local Storage (Game Saves)
Games like Vex, Fireboy & Watergirl, and Retro Bowl store level progression, high scores, and settings directly in your browser's local cache. This data remains on your machine and is never transmitted to external servers.
Google Analytics
We utilize Google Analytics (gtag.js) to monitor aggregate traffic trends, bounce rates, and popular games. This helps us optimize site performance. You may opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
5. Third-Party Advertising
To keep all games 100% free with unlimited play time, we partner with reputable third-party advertising networks (including Google AdSense). These third-party vendors may use cookies and web beacons to display relevant ads based on prior visits to our site or other internet locations.
You can manage personalized advertising preferences anytime by visiting Google Ads Settings or through aboutads.info.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Protecting children's privacy is of paramount importance to us. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly request, collect, or store personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
If a parent or guardian discovers that their child has submitted personal data through our contact form, please notify us immediately at legal@gswitchgames.github.io and we will promptly delete all related records.
