Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 2025

 

Welcome to Playingfungames.com! Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide while using our website and services.

 

1. Who We Are

 

We are Playingfungames.com — a platform where you can discover and enjoy a wide range of browser games in a convenient and accessible way. We value your trust and take our responsibility to protect your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Policy sets out important information about how we collect, process, share, retain, and keep your personal data safe. Please take the time to read it carefully to understand your rights and our obligations when it comes to your information.

The Platform is designed for users who are at least thirteen (13) years of age or the minimum age applicable in their country. If you are younger than thirteen (13) or do not meet your country’s minimum age requirement, this Platform is not meant for you. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under thirteen (13) or the minimum age applicable in your country through our Platform.

For information about the terms upon which we do business, please visit the Cookie Policy and Terms of Use as well.

 

2. What is Personal Data?

 

Personal data refers to any information that can identify you directly or indirectly. This might include details like your name or email address. Playingfungames.com strongly advises against using your real name or sharing any other personal details while playing games on our platform, especially when playing multiplayer games.

 

3. Information We Collect

 

We collect only necessary information, including basic account and usage data, to provide an optimized gaming experience:

  • Contact Information: Basic contact information (email address) is collected upon the submission of the “Contact Us” form.
  • Usage Data: Includes information on games played, comments, likes, and dislikes.
  • Cookies and Local Storage: To improve your experience, we use cookies and local storage to remember game history, liked games, favorites, and personal preferences. Visit Cookie Policy page for more information.
  • Technical Information: We may also collect information about your browser and/or device. This can include your IP address, device identifiers, the name and model of your device, the browser you’re using and its version, as well as your operating system’s name and version.
  • Advertising: Playingfungames.com displays ads from various advertising companies on our platform. These may be personalized or non-personalized, depending on your preferences. With your consent, provided through our Consent Management Platform (CMP), we may share certain data — such as your IP address, ad identifiers, and any information you’ve consented to for personalized ads — with third-party advertisers and ad networks. We also use this information to gauge the effectiveness of the ads we show. When you first visit our website, our CMP lets you customize your ad preferences or opt out of personalized ads entirely. If you choose not to receive personalized ads, you’ll still see ads, but they may be less relevant, as they will be based on general content instead of your preferences.

6. Third-Party Content and Links

 

This Privacy Policy governs the data practices of Playingfungames.com only and does not extend to third parties, including, but not limited to, developers or providers of third-party games made available through our platform. Such third-party providers may implement their own advertising systems, user account mechanisms, or in-game communication features, all of which operate independently of Playingfungames.com.

The games hosted on our platform may be developed or licensed by independent developers, external distributors, or other third-party entities. While Playingfungames.com makes reasonable efforts to curate and ensure the quality of hosted content, we do not exercise control over, nor do we accept responsibility for, the data collection or processing activities of third-party game providers. Users are strongly encouraged to review the applicable privacy policies and terms of service of any third-party provider to understand how personal data may be collected, used, or disclosed.

 

Each third-party provider is solely and independently responsible for ensuring that their data handling practices comply with all relevant data protection laws and regulations.

External Content: Playingfungames.com does not control, monitor, or endorse the privacy practices or terms of use of external websites, games, or advertisements operated by third-party developers. Any in-game advertisements, external links, or third-party features are subject to the respective provider’s privacy policies and legal terms.

User Responsibility: Users are advised to exercise due diligence by reviewing the privacy policies of any external websites or third-party games accessed through Playingfungames.com. This is essential to ensure they are adequately informed about how their personal data may be collected, processed, or shared by those third parties.

By choosing to engage with a third-party game via our platform, users acknowledge that they are entering a digital environment governed solely by the respective third-party developer or distributor. Playingfungames.com does not control, manage, or assume responsibility for the data practices or privacy standards of such external entities. Accordingly, we strongly recommend that users consult the privacy policies and terms of service of any third-party game provider prior to initiating gameplay.

7. Data Sharing and Security

 

Advertising: In connection with our advertising activities, we may disclose limited categories of information collected from users—such as hashed email addresses, IP addresses, browser type, and operating system details—to authorized identity resolution partners or service providers. These third parties may use the provided data to generate an anonymized identification code, which may then be stored by Playingfungames.com in a first-party cookie for the purpose of facilitating our advertising operations.

This identification code may also be shared with select advertising partners to enable interest-based and personalized advertising, allowing us to deliver content that is more aligned with your browsing behavior and preferences.

  • European Union (GDPR): For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring that any data transfers include appropriate safeguards that meet EU data protection standards.

8. Manage Ad Preferences

 

Upon your initial visit to our website, you will be presented with the option to accept, reject, or customize advertising and data processing preferences via our Consent Management Platform (“CMP”). This mechanism allows you to make informed choices regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies. You may revisit and modify your preferences at any time by selecting the “Data Preferences” link located in the footer of the platform.

In addition to the CMP, users may manage cookie settings directly through their web browser. Most modern browsers offer functionality to block all cookies, allow cookies only from specified domains, or notify you when a cookie is being placed on your device. Please be advised that disabling cookies may impair the functionality or availability of certain features on the Platform. For more information on cookies and how to manage them, you may visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Please note that browser-based cookie settings typically affect third-party cookies and may not prevent the setting of first-party cookies used by Playingfungames.com.

For users seeking to understand or opt out of behavioral advertising, additional resources are available through the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Program. These platforms provide comprehensive information on interest-based advertising and offer opt-out tools for participating companies.

Certain advertising networks require that we provide direct links to their individual opt-out mechanisms. When opting out, these networks may store an "opt-out" cookie on your browser to signal the exclusion from future interest-based tracking. While this does not eliminate advertisements entirely, it does ensure that any displayed ads will not be tailored based on your browsing history. Please be aware that if you clear your cookies, you may need to repeat the opt-out process for each network.

Opting out of behaviorally targeted advertising on Playingfungames.com will not eliminate advertisements on our ad-supported services. Rather, it will result in the display of non-personalized, contextual advertisements. Furthermore, opting out of our advertising practices does not extend to other companies or platforms that may continue to deliver interest-based or contextual ads independently of Playingfungames.com.

 

9. Children’s Privacy

 

The Platform is intended for use only by individuals who are at least thirteen (13) years of age or who meet the minimum age requirement as defined by applicable laws in their respective jurisdictions. If you are under the age of thirteen (13), or below the legal age of digital consent in your country or region, you are not permitted to access or use the Platform. Playingfungames.com does not knowingly permit such individuals to register for, access, or use any of its services.

We strongly encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor and supervise their children’s use of the Platform to ensure compliance with age-appropriate use and to help protect their children's privacy and safety online.

Limited Data Collection: Playingfungames.com does not knowingly collect, solicit, or process personal information from individuals under the age of thirteen (13), or from those who do not meet the minimum legal age in their jurisdiction, in connection with the use of the Platform. In the event that we become aware that personal data has been collected from a minor in violation of this policy, we will take appropriate steps to delete such data from our records promptly.

 

10. Abandonware Notice

 

We exercise reasonable diligence in evaluating the content made available on our Platform, including abandonware titles, to ensure that such use does not violate the rights of copyright holders or other intellectual property owners.
