Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 4, 2025
Mind Skills Arcade (“we,” “our,” “us”) values your privacy and aims to be fully transparent about how we handle your data. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over it.

1. Overview

Mind Skills Arcade is a free educational platform offering browser-based memory, logic, math, typing, and focus games. Our goal is to provide a safe and private experience. Most gameplay data is stored only on your device using localStorage, meaning it never leaves your browser unless you voluntarily contact us.

2. Information We Collect

• Local device data: Scores, streaks, and preferences saved in your browser’s localStorage. This data stays only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
• Basic analytics (optional): Anonymous data such as page visits, approximate region, or device type to help improve performance and usability.
• Contact information: If you email us or subscribe to updates, we’ll use your contact details solely to respond or send the requested messages.
• Server logs: Standard technical logs (IP address, browser version, timestamp) for security and site reliability.

3. How We Use Information

• To operate and improve our website and games.
• To fix bugs, optimize load times, and analyze engagement trends.
• To respond to messages or support requests.
• To ensure compliance with legal and technical requirements.
• To keep the site safe, secure, and user-friendly.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use cookies and localStorage to support core site functionality. Cookies may remember preferences (like theme mode or session state), while localStorage retains your best scores or streaks. You can clear or disable these at any time in your browser settings. For more details, visit our Cookie Policy.

Cookies We Use

• Google Analytics cookies: _ga, _gid, _gat — used to collect anonymous usage statistics.
• Google AdSense cookies: Used to serve relevant advertisements based on prior visits to this or other websites.
• localStorage (game scores and preferences): Stored locally on your device to save your scores, streaks, and game preferences. Never transmitted to our servers.

5. Analytics & Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous usage data including page views, session duration, and approximate geographic region. This data is processed by Google LLC. You can opt out at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. We also use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense uses cookies based on prior visits to this or other websites.

6. Data Retention

Local gameplay data remains in your browser until you manually clear it. Email correspondence and support messages are kept only as long as necessary to respond or meet legal requirements. We periodically review and securely delete old support records.

7. Security

Our website uses HTTPS encryption and follows standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access. However, no digital system is entirely immune to breaches, so please avoid sharing sensitive personal or financial data in messages.
