Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 11, 2024
1. Privacy Commitment
Valkyranis is deeply committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining transparency about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you interact with our social casino platform. We believe in a privacy-first approach and collect only the minimum data necessary to provide you with a functional and enjoyable experience.
2. Information We Collect
Valkyranis operates with a philosophy of minimal data collection. The categories of information we may collect include:
- Age Verification Data: We store your age verification consent locally in your browser to comply with our 18+ age restriction policy and to avoid repeatedly asking for verification.
- Technical Information: We may collect basic technical data including browser type, device type, operating system, IP address, and access timestamps. This information helps us ensure the platform functions correctly across different configurations.
- Gameplay Data: Your game preferences, settings, and progress may be stored locally on your device to provide continuity across sessions.
- Usage Information: We may collect information about how you interact with the platform, such as pages visited and features used, to improve functionality and user experience.
3. How We Use Local Storage
Valkyranis primarily relies on browser-based local storage rather than server-side databases to minimize data collection:
- Local Storage: We use your browser's local storage to save your age verification status and game preferences. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to external servers.
- Session Storage: Temporary session data may be used to maintain your state during active use of the platform.
- User Control: You have complete control over locally stored data and can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's data through browser settings.
4. Cookie Policy
Valkyranis may use cookies that are essential for the platform to operate properly. These essential cookies serve purposes such as:
- Maintaining your active session while you navigate the platform
- Remembering your age verification consent across visits
- Ensuring games load and function correctly
- Providing basic security and functionality
We do not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any cookies that monitor your behavior across external websites. Our cookie usage is strictly limited to essential functionality required for the platform to work.
5. Third-Party Services
While Valkyranis strives to minimize reliance on third parties, certain technical services are necessary for basic platform operation:
- Hosting Infrastructure: Our platform is hosted on servers provided by third-party hosting services, which is necessary for making Valkyranis accessible online.
- Content Delivery Networks: We may use CDNs to ensure fast loading times and optimal performance for users worldwide.
Any third-party service providers we engage are carefully vetted and are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of any data they may process on our behalf.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
Valkyranis does not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not engage in data brokering or provide user data to advertisers or marketing companies. Limited disclosure may occur only in the following circumstances:
- When legally required by valid law enforcement requests or court orders
- To protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Valkyranis, our users, or the public
- With service providers who assist in technical operations under strict confidentiality agreements
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (users would be notified)
7. Security Measures
We implement reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Secure hosting infrastructure with industry-standard protections
- Encryption for data transmission where appropriate
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Limited employee access to user data on a need-to-know basis
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Privacy Rights
You have several rights and options regarding your data and privacy:
- Access: Most data is stored locally on your device, giving you direct access.
- Deletion: You can delete locally stored data by clearing your browser's cookies, cache, and local storage.
- Opt-Out: You can stop using Valkyranis at any time to prevent further data collection.
- Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to reject cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent.
Note that refusing or deleting certain data may limit your ability to use some platform features.
9. Children's Privacy
Valkyranis is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect information from, individuals under the age of 18. We have implemented age verification measures to prevent underage access. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and terminate their access to the platform.
10. International Data Transfers
Valkyranis may be accessed from various countries around the world. If you access the platform from outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in different jurisdictions. By using Valkyranis, you consent to such transfers and processing in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.
11. Changes to Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Material changes may be communicated more prominently through the platform. Your continued use of Valkyranis after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
12. Contact Information
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please consult our other legal documents or contact us through appropriate channels.
