🔐 Privacy Philosophy
Privacy is fundamental to how Pelagora operates. Unlike many online platforms that aggressively collect user data, we've built our social casino with privacy as a core principle. This Privacy Policy explains our minimal data practices and how we protect the limited information we do collect.
Because Pelagora requires no user accounts, no registration, and no personal information to function, our data collection footprint is exceptionally small. We collect only what's absolutely necessary for technical functionality and nothing more.
📋 Data Collection Practices
Technical Data Automatically Collected
When you access Pelagora, standard web server logs automatically capture certain technical information:
- Browser Information: Type, version, and language settings to ensure compatibility
- Device Data: Operating system, screen resolution, and device type for responsive display
- IP Address: For general geographic location and security monitoring
- Visit Timestamps: Date and time of access for analytics
- Referral Source: Which website or link brought you to Pelagora, if applicable
- Page Views: Which pages you visit during your session
This technical data is collected passively and is standard for virtually all websites. It's used exclusively for platform operation, performance optimization, and security purposes.
Local Browser Storage
Pelagora utilizes your browser's localStorage feature to store a single piece of information:
- Age Verification Confirmation: A simple indicator that you've completed age verification
This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to our servers. You retain complete control and can delete it at any time through your browser settings.
What We Explicitly Do NOT Collect
Pelagora makes a point of NOT collecting:
- Names, addresses, or contact information
- Email addresses or phone numbers
- Financial or payment information (we have no payment system)
- Social media profiles or credentials
- Precise GPS coordinates or fine-grained location data
- Biometric or health information
- Browsing history outside of Pelagora
- Any personally identifiable information
🎯 How Information is Used
The minimal technical data we collect serves specific, legitimate purposes:
Platform Functionality
- Ensuring games render properly on your specific device
- Optimizing performance based on browser capabilities
- Maintaining platform stability and responsiveness
Security and Protection
- Detecting unusual patterns that might indicate attacks
- Preventing abuse, fraud, or malicious activity
- Maintaining platform integrity for all users
Analytics and Improvement
- Understanding aggregate usage patterns
- Identifying technical issues requiring fixes
- Improving user experience based on collective data
We do NOT use your information for:
- Targeted advertising or behavioral tracking
- Creating individual user profiles
- Selling or renting data to third parties
- Cross-site tracking or fingerprinting
🍪 Cookies and Storage Technologies
Our Minimal Approach
Pelagora uses localStorage (a browser technology similar to cookies) for a single essential purpose: remembering your age verification status. This prevents you from repeatedly confirming your age on every visit.
Third-Party Technologies
Pelagora does NOT employ:
- Third-party advertising networks or trackers
- Analytics platforms that track individual users
- Social media widgets that monitor your activity
- Cross-domain tracking mechanisms
Your activity on Pelagora stays on Pelagora. We don't share it, sell it, or use it to track you elsewhere.
Managing Your Preferences
You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser's settings menu. Instructions vary by browser, but the option is typically found under "Privacy" or "Clear browsing data." Clearing this data will require you to re-verify your age on your next visit to Pelagora.
🛡️ Data Security Measures
Even though we collect minimal data, we still implement robust security measures:
- Encrypted Connections: All traffic to and from Pelagora uses HTTPS encryption
- Server Security: Regular security audits and patch management
- Access Controls: Strict limitations on who can access server infrastructure
- Monitoring: Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity or breaches
- Data Minimization: Collecting only essential data reduces exposure risk
While no internet system is perfectly secure, we maintain industry-standard protections appropriate for our low-data-collection model.
🤝 Third-Party Relationships
Pelagora operates independently and does not integrate third-party services that would compromise your privacy. The only external links on our platform direct to responsible gaming organizations (GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy). These links exist for your benefit, but those organizations operate under their own privacy policies, not ours.
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any information with third parties for their marketing or data collection purposes.
🌍 International Data Transfers
Pelagora is accessible globally. If you access our platform from a country different from where our servers are located, your technical data may be transferred internationally. By using Pelagora, you consent to such transfers.
We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers as required by applicable data protection regulations.
👶 Protection of Minors
Pelagora is exclusively for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Our age verification system is designed to prevent minors from accessing the platform.
If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed Pelagora, we will take immediate corrective action. Parents and guardians should actively monitor their children's internet usage and use parental control tools to restrict access to age-restricted content.
✅ Your Privacy Rights
You maintain control over your privacy when using Pelagora:
- Right to Knowledge: This policy transparently explains our practices
- Right to Control: You can clear localStorage through your browser settings
- Right to Access: You can view what's stored locally in your browser
- Right to Deletion: You can delete locally stored data at any time
- Right to Opt-Out: You can simply stop using Pelagora if you disagree with our practices
Because we collect so little data and don't create user accounts, most traditional data rights (like data portability or correction) don't apply—there's simply no personal profile to port or correct.
📝 Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make significant changes, we'll update the effective date below and may provide notice on the platform.
We encourage periodic review of this policy to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
