Privacy Policy

Effective From: December 11, 2024

Privacy Principles at Aelvathros

Aelvathros Social Casino values your privacy and operates on principles of minimal data collection and maximal transparency. Since our platform requires no user registration, account creation, or personal information submission, our data footprint is inherently small. This privacy policy details exactly what minimal information we process and how we handle it.

Information We Collect

Browser Local Storage

Aelvathros uses your browser's localStorage mechanism to store a single piece of information: your age verification consent. When you confirm being 18 years or older, we record this confirmation in localStorage to prevent repeated verification prompts during subsequent visits. This data resides entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser's storage management settings.

Standard Server Logs

Like virtually all websites, our web servers automatically log certain technical information when you visit Aelvathros:

  • IP address (used for general geographic location and basic security monitoring)
  • Browser type and version information
  • Device type and operating system details
  • Pages accessed within our site
  • Date and time stamps of visits
  • Referring website (if you arrived via an external link)

This technical logging helps us understand general usage patterns, diagnose technical problems, and maintain basic security. We do not use this information to build individual user profiles or track specific users across sessions.

Local Game Data

Your game progress, virtual credit balances, gameplay statistics, and user preferences are stored locally in your browser storage. This information never leaves your device. It exists solely to provide continuity in your entertainment experience. Clearing your browser cache or storage will reset all game data, but since virtual credits have no value, this carries no real consequences.

How We Use Information

The limited data we collect serves specific, legitimate purposes:

  • Age Verification Enforcement: Maintaining compliance with our 18+ access policy
  • Technical Operation: Ensuring games load correctly and function properly across different browsers and devices
  • Security Monitoring: Detecting potential malicious activity, abuse, or attacks on our infrastructure
  • Performance Optimization: Identifying slow-loading pages or technical bottlenecks to improve user experience
  • Aggregate Analytics: Understanding general usage trends in aggregate form (not individual tracking)

We do not use your information for advertising, marketing to you directly, or selling/sharing with third-party advertisers or data brokers.

Third-Party Services and Links

Aelvathros uses Google Fonts to display custom typography. When you load our pages, your browser requests font files from Google's servers. Google may collect technical information about these requests as described in Google's privacy policy. We have no control over or access to any data Google collects.

Our footer contains links to external responsible gaming organizations (GambleAware, GamCare, Gambling Therapy). These are informational resources. When you click these links, you leave Aelvathros and enter websites governed by their own privacy policies, over which we have no control.

We do not embed third-party analytics trackers, advertising pixels, or behavioral tracking scripts beyond what's described above.

Data Retention and Security

Server log data is retained for a limited period necessary for technical troubleshooting and security purposes, after which it is automatically purged or anonymized. Your age verification status persists in localStorage until you manually clear it or clear your browser storage.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect our infrastructure and the limited data we process. However, since Aelvathros collects minimal personal information and involves no financial data, passwords, or sensitive personal information, the inherent security risk is low.

Children's Privacy Protection

Aelvathros is not designed for, marketed to, or intended to be accessed by individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors. Our age verification system is implemented specifically to prevent underage access. If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed our platform, we will take immediate steps to block further access.

Your Privacy Control

Since Aelvathros operates without user accounts or extensive personal data collection, privacy management is straightforward:

  • You can clear your age verification by accessing browser localStorage settings
  • You can delete all local game data by clearing browser cache and storage
  • You can stop using our platform at any time without needing to "delete an account" (because no account exists)
  • You can use privacy-focused browsers, VPNs, or privacy extensions to minimize technical data collection

International Data Transfers

Aelvathros is accessible globally via the internet. By using our platform, you acknowledge that the minimal technical data we collect may be processed and stored in various locations. We handle all data consistently with this privacy policy regardless of where it's processed.

Policy Updates and Changes

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Effective From" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Contact and Inquiries

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please refer to our Terms of Service and Disclaimer pages for additional context about how Aelvathros operates.

Privacy Simplified

The Simple Version: Aelvathros collects very little data because we don't require accounts. Your age verification lives in your browser. We log basic technical data like all websites. Your game progress stays on your device. We don't track you for ads. We don't sell data. Privacy through minimal data collection – that's our approach.
