Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

GeoKepo ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our service.

Core features remain available if you reject optional analytics and advertising. You can change that choice at any time through the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• User Account: When you create an account, we collect username, email (optional), and authentication information.
• Game Data: Daily puzzle results, streaks, card collections, and your game statistics.
• Contact: If you contact us, we store your messages and contact information.

Device Information and Storage

• Essential storage: Guest identity, game progress, and trip plans are stored so requested features can work.
• Optional analytics: If you accept optional processing, Google Analytics may process visited pages and browser/device data for aggregate measurement.
• Optional advertising: If you accept optional processing, Google AdSense may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads.

3. Use of Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and improve GeoKepo services
• Manage user accounts and game statistics
• Analyze service usage when you have given optional consent
• Send updates and game-related information
• Respond to inquiries and support requests
• Prevent fraud and misuse of service

4. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

GeoKepo loads Google AdSense and Google Analytics only after you choose "Accept optional". Before that choice, GeoKepo does not ask your browser to load those third-party scripts.

Google may use cookies and process data under its own policies after you consent. Information about Google advertising choices is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

You can reject the initial notice or open "Cookie settings" in the footer to change your choice. If you revoke a previous opt-in, the page reloads so optional scripts stop on the next page session.

5. Sharing Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following situations:

• Service Providers: With vendors who provide services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, advertising).
• Legal Obligation: If required by law or to protect our rights and safety.
• Business Transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Anonymous Data: We may share aggregate or anonymous data that does not personally identify you.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request data deletion at any time by contacting us.

8. Your Rights

Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data.
• Restriction: Request restriction of data processing.
• Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service.

9. Children's Privacy

GeoKepo does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information to us, contact us for deletion.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
