Privacy Policy
RetroTrivia.Games respects your privacy. This policy explains the categories of information we use to run the site and your account.
Information We Collect
If you create an account, we collect account profile information such as your email address, username, password credentials, and account security information needed to sign you in and protect your account.
For free and anonymous play, gameplay progress, stats, badges, and saved puzzle state are stored in your browser on your device.
For premium users, RetroTrivia may store account-linked gameplay progress on the server, such as saved progress, stats, and badges, so those features can be available through the account.
RetroTrivia may store aggregate gameplay counts, such as completion and win totals, to show public game context. These public stats are designed for aggregate reporting and are not used as detailed personal gameplay history.
How We Use Information
We use account information to create and manage accounts, support sign-in, send account-related messages, secure the site, and provide account features.
We use local and premium gameplay progress to remember game state, stats, badges, and related gameplay features. We use aggregate gameplay counts to improve the game and show public game stats.
Cookies and Local Storage
RetroTrivia uses cookies and similar browser storage for necessary account, security, and gameplay functions. You can clear browser data through your browser settings, and signed-in users can clear local gameplay data from the account Personal Data page.
Advertising and Analytics
RetroTrivia uses Google Analytics to understand visits and site usage. When advertising is enabled, we use Google AdSense to help fund free gameplay. Google and other advertising partners may collect information such as IP addresses, browser and device details, visits, and ad interactions, and may place or read cookies, use web beacons, or use other identifiers for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and, where permitted and consented to, personalized advertising.
Google advertising cookies may enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites. You can manage personalized Google advertising through My Ad Center. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Where applicable, a privacy message provides consent choices or an option to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for advertising. You can revisit available choices through the Privacy choices or Google privacy settings link on pages displaying ads. Necessary account and gameplay storage is separate from optional advertising and analytics choices.
Account Data Controls
Signed-in users can download a simple account data file containing account profile information, such as email and username.
Deleting your account removes account-linked server data, including premium entitlement records, server-backed stats, badges, and saved game state. Browser-only gameplay data remains on your device until you clear it from the account Personal Data page or your browser settings.
Email and Notifications
RetroTrivia may send transactional account emails, such as account confirmation or password reset messages. If optional notifications, newsletters, or marketing emails are added later, they will include a way to opt out or unsubscribe.
Third-Party Services
RetroTrivia may use third-party services for hosting, email delivery, analytics, payments, social sharing, embedded content, or external links. Those services may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Children's Privacy
RetroTrivia.Games is intended as a general audience trivia and entertainment site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so it can be removed.
Updates
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page.
