Sand Tetris Game

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025-10-14

SandTetrisGame.com ("Sand Tetris," "we," or "us") curates quick-play puzzle and block-stacking games for casual players. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information about visitors who browse our catalogue, launch embedded games, or contact our support team.

The site does not provide user registration, chat, or payments. We apply a privacy-by-design approach that keeps personal data collection to a minimum while protecting the infrastructure that powers our Cloudflare-hosted Next.js application.

Scope

This policy applies to pages and services served from SandTetrisGame.com and any subdomains that link back to this notice. It does not cover third-party sites or games that we embed or reference. Key definitions:

  • Personal information is data that can identify someone, such as a name, email address, or precise location. We only receive this if you choose to share it.
  • Usage data includes aggregated technical details like device type, browser version, timestamps, and approximate location derived from an IP address (city or region level).
  • Cookies and local storage are small data files placed by your browser to remember preferences or support analytics and security functions.

Information We Process

We limit processing to what keeps the site fast, secure, and relevant. Depending on your interactions, we may handle:

  • Network metadata generated automatically when your device requests pages, such as abbreviated IP address information, HTTP status codes, and user agent strings. These records help prevent abuse and diagnose issues.
  • Anonymous analytics metrics (page views, engagement events, load times) collected through privacy-friendly tooling that masks IP addresses and avoids persistent cross-site identifiers.
  • Error and performance diagnostics that exclude game payloads and are scrubbed of sensitive content before storage.
  • Details you include when emailing support@sandtetrisgame.com, such as gameplay feedback, device troubleshooting notes, or legal requests.

Collection Methods and Sources

  • Hosting and edge logs: Cloudflare and our application platform create short-lived logs to keep the service reliable, defend against abuse, and monitor availability.
  • Analytics: We rely on lightweight analytics configured to respect do-not-track signals where supported, avoid cross-site tracking, and aggregate results for reporting.
  • Embedded content: Some games, ads, or leaderboards are provided by third parties. Their cookies or scripts operate under their own policies, so review those providers if you interact with their modules.
  • Direct contact: When you reach out via email, we use the information you supply solely to respond and maintain a support history.

Cookies and Local Storage

We make limited use of cookies and similar storage to:

  • Remember simple interface preferences, such as recently viewed games.
  • Understand aggregate engagement so we can highlight the most popular titles.
  • Protect the service from abusive traffic patterns.

You can block or clear cookies at any time by using your browser controls. Core browsing features will continue to work, although preferences may reset between visits.

How We Use Data

  • Operate and maintain the Sand Tetris catalogue, landing pages, and related experiences.
  • Monitor performance, debug errors, and secure our infrastructure.
  • Decide which games or content should be updated or promoted.
  • Respond to your inquiries and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Retention

Technical logs are automatically purged or anonymized within approximately 30 to 90 days unless we must keep a subset longer to investigate abuse or satisfy legal requirements. Support conversations are retained while we resolve your request and may be archived for reference before deletion.

Sharing and Transfers

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be shared with trusted service providers that operate our hosting, analytics, or email services, each bound by confidentiality obligations. We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or in connection with a corporate transaction. Any successor must honor protections consistent with this policy or seek your consent.

Security

  • HTTPS encrypts traffic between your browser and our servers.
  • Access to operational tools is restricted to personnel who require it.
  • We prioritize aggregated metrics and scrub raw data to reduce risk.

Children's Privacy

Sand Tetris is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of digital consent. If you believe a child has shared personal data with us, email support@sandtetrisgame.com so we can promptly delete it.

Your Choices and Rights

  • Adjust browser settings or privacy extensions to limit cookies and analytics scripts.
  • Email support@sandtetrisgame.com to request access, correction, or deletion of information related to you. We will respond in line with applicable privacy regulations.
  • Use private browsing modes if you prefer not to store local data between sessions.

Third-Party Services

Embedded games, advertising networks, and analytics providers operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their notices and use any opt-out tools they provide when interacting with their features.

Changes

We may revise this Privacy Policy as we expand our catalogue or update infrastructure. Material updates will be highlighted on this page. Continuing to use the site after changes take effect indicates that you accept the revised policy.
