Privacy Policy & Cookie Disclosure
At PlayVibe, accessible from https://playvibespot.com, protecting the privacy of our visitors is one of our highest priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that are collected and recorded by PlayVibe and how we use and safeguard that information in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and Google Publisher Policies.
1. Zero-Account Architecture & Local Browser Storage
PlayVibe is designed to work immediately without requiring user registration, passwords, or personal profiles. When you click the ❤️ Like button on a game card or use the Team Scoreboard, your preferences are saved locally on your own device using standard browser localStorage (specifically under keys such as playvibe_liked_games_v1 and playvibe_team_scores_v1). You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser cache.
2. Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART Cookie Disclosure
We may partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements when you visit our website:
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads to users based on their visit to PlayVibe and other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie for personalized advertising by visiting the official Google Ads Settings page or www.aboutads.info.
- Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in their respective advertisements that are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs to measure advertising effectiveness and personalize ad content.
3. Log Files & Standard Analytics
PlayVibe follows a standard procedure of using server log files provided by our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages). The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and anonymised click counts. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
4. GDPR Data Protection Rights (European Economic Area Visitors)
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following data protection rights: the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you; the right of rectification; the right to object to processing; the right of restriction; the right to data portability; and the right to withdraw consent at any time.
5. CCPA Privacy Rights (California Consumers)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California consumers have the right to request that a business disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected, request deletion of personal data, and opt out of the sale of personal data. PlayVibe does not sell personal user data to third parties.
6. Children's Information (COPPA Compliance)
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. PlayVibe does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that your child provided this kind of information on our website, please contact us immediately at privacy@playvibe.games and we will promptly remove such records.
