Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Commitment

At Fogthorn, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your experience on our platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit and use our social casino services.

Given the nature of our service as a free-to-play social casino with no user accounts or registration requirements, our data collection practices are minimal. We believe in providing entertainment without unnecessary intrusion into your personal information.

Information We Collect

Fogthorn operates with a minimal data footprint. We do not require you to create accounts, provide personal information, or share identifying details to enjoy our games. The limited technical information we may receive includes:

Browser Information: Your web browser automatically sends certain information when you visit Fogthorn, such as browser type, operating system, and screen resolution. This helps us ensure our games display and function correctly across different devices and platforms.

Local Storage Data: We use browser local storage to remember your age verification consent. This information is stored exclusively on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Game State Data: Any game progress, virtual credit balances, or preferences are stored temporarily in your browser's memory and are not tracked or recorded by Fogthorn. This information disappears when you close your browser or clear your cache.

How We Use Information

The minimal technical information that passes through our systems serves these specific purposes:

Service Delivery: Ensuring our games load properly and function as intended on your device requires basic understanding of your browser capabilities and screen dimensions.

Technical Maintenance: Identifying and resolving technical issues requires awareness of how different browsers and devices interact with our platform.

Age Verification: Maintaining compliance with age restrictions requires storing your verification consent locally on your device.

We do not use any information for marketing, advertising, profiling, or any purposes beyond delivering our free entertainment service.

Cookies and Tracking

Fogthorn does not employ cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising purposes. The only local storage we utilize is for age verification consent, which is stored on your device rather than our servers.

We do not use third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or tracking pixels. Your activity on Fogthorn is not monitored, recorded, or analyzed. We have no interest in tracking your behavior or building profiles of our users.

If you prefer not to have any data stored locally, you can use your browser's private or incognito mode. You will need to confirm age verification on each visit when using these privacy-enhanced browsing modes.

Information Sharing

Since we do not collect personal information, we have nothing to share with third parties. Fogthorn does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer any user information to external parties.

The games embedded on our platform are hosted directly on our servers and do not communicate with external services. Your gameplay remains entirely private and is not shared with any third parties.

Data Security

While we implement reasonable security measures to protect our platform's integrity, the absence of personal data collection means there is minimal sensitive information at risk. The age verification flag stored in your browser's local storage is not sensitive personal information and poses no security risk if accessed.

We maintain our systems and infrastructure with standard security practices to ensure reliable service delivery and protect against unauthorized access or malicious attacks.

Your Privacy Rights

Because Fogthorn does not collect or store personal information, there is no personal data for you to access, correct, or delete through us. Any information stored locally (age verification) is entirely under your control through your browser settings.

You have complete control over your privacy when using Fogthorn. You can clear your browser's local storage at any time to remove the age verification flag. You can also use browser privacy features to prevent any local data storage.

Children's Privacy

Fogthorn is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We implement age verification to prevent access by minors. We do not knowingly collect any information from individuals under 18, and if we become aware of any such access, we take immediate steps to address the situation.

External Links

Our footer contains links to responsible gaming resources including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These external websites have their own privacy policies and practices that we do not control. We encourage you to review their policies if you visit these resources.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance reasons. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Given our minimal data collection practices, any changes are likely to be minor clarifications rather than substantial alterations to our approach.

Questions About Privacy

If you have concerns about privacy practices on Fogthorn or questions about how we handle information, please carefully review this policy. Our commitment to minimal data collection and maximum privacy is fundamental to how we operate.
