Privacy Policy

Introduction to Our Privacy Practices

SparkTreasure Social Casino respects your privacy and is committed to transparency in how we handle information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how it's used, and the control you have over your information. We've designed our platform with privacy as a core principle, minimizing data collection and maximizing user control.

Information Collection Practices

Browser Storage Information

SparkTreasure primarily relies on browser-based local storage to maintain your experience. When you verify your age, this confirmation is stored locally in your browser's storage system. Similarly, game progress and preferences are maintained on your device rather than our servers. This approach means you retain direct control over this data, and it never leaves your device.

Automatically Logged Information

Like most web platforms, certain technical information may be automatically logged when you visit SparkTreasure. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring URLs, and timestamps of your visits. This data helps us ensure SparkTreasure functions properly across different browsers and devices and allows us to identify and resolve technical issues.

Aggregated Usage Patterns

We may collect anonymized, aggregated data about how users interact with SparkTreasure. This includes information about which games are played, session durations, and general navigation patterns. This data is completely anonymous and cannot be traced back to individual users. It serves solely to help us improve the platform and understand user preferences.

How Collected Information Is Used

Platform Functionality

The primary purpose of any information collection is to make SparkTreasure work properly. Browser storage enables features like age verification persistence and game progress saving. Technical logs help us identify bugs, optimize performance, and ensure compatibility across different devices and browsers.

Service Improvement

Anonymous usage data informs our decisions about platform development. By understanding which features users engage with most, we can prioritize improvements that matter to our community. This data-driven approach helps SparkTreasure evolve in ways that genuinely enhance user experience.

Age Verification Compliance

Maintaining age verification status in local storage serves two purposes: ensuring compliance with our 18+ policy and improving user experience by preventing repeated verification prompts. This data exists only on your device and is under your direct control.

Data Storage and Security Measures

SparkTreasure employs a privacy-first architecture. Most user data is stored locally on your device using modern browser storage mechanisms. This approach minimizes the amount of personal information we handle and puts you in direct control of your data.

For technical information that may be temporarily logged on our systems, we implement appropriate security measures including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. However, we acknowledge that no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against all potential security breaches.

Third-Party Services

SparkTreasure may utilize limited third-party services for specific functionality. For example, we use Google Fonts to deliver typography resources. These services operate under their own privacy policies, which govern their data collection and use practices.

We carefully vet third-party services to ensure they align with our privacy values. We do not integrate advertising networks, social media tracking pixels, or invasive analytics tools. Our philosophy is that entertainment platforms should serve users, not exploit them for data.

Cookie Policy and Storage Technologies

SparkTreasure primarily uses browser local storage and session storage rather than traditional HTTP cookies. These technologies serve similar purposes but offer better privacy controls and remain entirely on your device until you choose to clear them.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any cookies designed to follow your activities across different websites. Our use of browser storage is limited exclusively to essential platform functionality like age verification and game state preservation.

Your Privacy Rights and Controls

Access and Management

Since most SparkTreasure data is stored locally on your device, you have direct access to it through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings. You can view, modify, or delete this information at any time without needing to contact us or seek permission.

Data Deletion

Clearing your browser's local storage for the SparkTreasure domain will remove all locally stored data including age verification status and game progress. This can be accomplished through your browser's privacy or history settings. Because we don't maintain centralized user databases, there's no server-side data to delete.

Privacy Settings and Controls

Modern browsers offer robust privacy controls. You can disable JavaScript (though this will prevent SparkTreasure from functioning), block all local storage, use private/incognito browsing modes, or employ browser extensions designed to enhance privacy. These tools give you granular control over what data can be stored by websites you visit.

Children's Privacy Protection

SparkTreasure is designed exclusively for adults and is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our age verification system is designed to prevent underage access, though we acknowledge that no age verification system is foolproof.

Parents and guardians bear ultimate responsibility for monitoring their children's internet usage. We strongly recommend employing parental control software and maintaining open communication with children about appropriate online behavior and age-restricted content.

International Privacy Considerations

SparkTreasure is accessible globally, and we respect privacy laws across jurisdictions. While our minimal data collection approach naturally aligns with stringent privacy regulations, users in specific regions may have additional rights under local laws.

If you reside in a jurisdiction with specific privacy protections (such as the European Union's GDPR), those rights apply to whatever limited data we may process. However, given that most SparkTreasure data remains exclusively on your device, many traditional data privacy concerns are simply not applicable to our platform.

Data Retention Practices

Data stored in your browser's local storage persists indefinitely until you clear it manually. We cannot delete this data remotely because we don't control your device. Technical logs on our systems, if any, are retained only as long as necessary for their intended purpose (typically troubleshooting and security) and are then automatically deleted.

Privacy Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Effective Date" at the top of this document indicates when the policy was last revised. Material changes will be communicated through prominent notices on SparkTreasure.

Your continued use of the platform after policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage periodic review of this document to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers support "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. SparkTreasure respects these signals to the extent applicable. Given our minimal tracking practices, enabling DNT will have little practical effect on our platform since we don't engage in cross-site tracking or behavioral profiling in the first place.

California Privacy Rights

California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Given that SparkTreasure collects minimal personal information and does not sell user data, many CCPA provisions are not applicable. However, California residents retain all rights afforded under the law and may exercise them by contacting us through appropriate channels.

Questions and Contact Information

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or concerns about how your information is handled, we encourage you to reach out. While our minimal data collection approach means there's little personal information to inquire about, we take privacy questions seriously and will respond to legitimate concerns.

Consent and Agreement

By using SparkTreasure, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of the platform. This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service and Disclaimer.
