1. Who We Are
Welcome to Tycoon Games (“we,” “our,” or “us”). Our website address is: https://www.tycoon-games.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled securely and responsibly.
2. Data Collection and Usage
2.1 Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.
Additionally, an anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
2.2 Media Uploads
If you upload images to our website, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images. We do not assume responsibility for any unintended data exposure through uploaded media.
2.3 Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience. By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.
- If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- When you log in, several cookies will store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, while screen preference cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
- Editing or publishing an article generates a cookie with no personal data, simply storing the post ID. It expires after one day.
2.4 Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from external websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external site directly, which may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions if you are logged in to that external site. We are not responsible for third-party data collection practices.
3. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. However, in specific cases, we may share information:
- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- If required by law or to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or governmental request.
- To protect our rights, enforce our policies, or investigate potential violations of law.
4. Data Retention
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate automatic approval of future comments instead of placing them in a moderation queue.
- If you register on our website, your provided personal information is stored in your user profile. You can access, edit, or delete your information (except your username) at any time. Website administrators can also view and manage user profiles.
5. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data retained for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
To exercise your rights, contact us at [Insert Contact Email].
6. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data may also be processed on servers outside your country of residence. By using our site, you acknowledge and consent to this transfer of data.
7. Security Measures
We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. However, no online platform is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
