Privacy Policy

What This Policy Covers

This policy covers the information unblockedgameswtf.net collects through normal use of the site: browsing, playing games, posting comments, searching, liking or favouriting games, and contacting us. It also covers information collected by services we use on the site, including Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and third-party providers whose games are embedded in iframes.

This policy does not cover any other website, even if you reach it by clicking a link from a game or an ad shown on our site. Once you leave unblockedgameswtf.net, that other site's own privacy practices apply, not ours.

There are no user accounts, logins or passwords on this site. You never need to register to play a game. Any data described in this policy is collected through the ordinary functioning of pages, forms, comments and embedded content, not through an account system.

Information We Collect Automatically

Some information is collected automatically just by visiting the site or using its features. This includes data gathered through cookies, which are explained in more detail in the Cookies section below, and traffic data collected by Google Analytics, covered in the Analytics section.

When you like or favourite a game, we store your IP address. This is used only to stop the same action from being counted more than once from the same visitor; it is not used to build a profile of you.

Other automatic collection happens when you use the contact form, post a comment, or run a search on the site — each of these is described in its own section below, since the data collected differs depending on the feature. Advertising and embedded games, run by Google AdSense and third-party game providers, also collect data automatically when their content loads on our pages; this is covered in the Advertising and Third-Party Games sections.

Information You Send Us

If you use the contact form on this site, we collect the name, email address, subject and message you type in. These messages are read by site administrators so we can respond to you or look into whatever you're reporting.

Along with your message, we also store your IP address and your browser's user-agent string. These are used to limit how many messages can be sent from the same source — currently three per hour — and to help us identify and block senders who abuse the contact form, for example by sending spam or harassing messages.

We do not use the contact form to build marketing lists, and submitting a message does not create an account or require any registration. The information you provide is only used to handle your message and to keep the form working properly for everyone.

Comments You Post

Many games on this site let visitors leave comments. When you post a comment, we store the name you enter, an optional email address if you choose to provide one, the text of your comment, your IP address, and your browser's user-agent string.

Your name and comment text are shown publicly next to the game you commented on. Your email address, if you add one, is not shown publicly. The IP address and user-agent are stored alongside the comment but are not displayed to other visitors; they help us manage the comment system and deal with problems like spam or abusive posts.

Because comments are visible to other visitors, including children, we ask that you don't include personal information in the comment text itself, since anything you type there can be seen by anyone who views that game's page.

Search Queries

When you search for a game on this site, we log the search itself. This includes the text you searched for, your browser's user-agent string, the page you searched from, and a session identifier tied to your visit.

Unlike other parts of the site, your IP address is not stored in readable form when you search. Instead, it's converted into a hash — a scrambled version of the address that cannot be reversed back into the original IP. This means we can use search logs to understand how search is used on the site without keeping a readable record of who searched for what.

Search logs are used to see which searches work well, which return no results, and to help keep the search feature running properly. They are not used to identify individual visitors.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This site sets cookies, which are small text files stored in your browser. Cookies help the site remember things between page loads and are also used by services running on the site, such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense.

Google Analytics uses cookies to measure how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how people move between them. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads, which may be personalised based on your browsing activity. Games embedded in iframes from third-party providers can also set their own cookies when their content loads on a page, separately from cookies set by this site.

You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you block cookies, some parts of the site, including ads and embedded games, may not work the way they're designed to.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic on this site — things like how many people visit, which pages they look at, and roughly where visitors are coming from. Google Analytics works by placing a cookie in your browser and collecting data about your visit, which it then sends to Google.

This helps us understand which games and pages are popular and whether the site is working well for visitors, so we can make improvements. Google Analytics is a third-party service, and Google, not this site, processes and stores the analytics data it collects.

We don't combine Google Analytics data with the contact form, comments or search logs described elsewhere in this policy. Each of those systems is separate and used for the specific purposes described in its own section.

Advertising and Personalisation

Ads on this site are served through Google AdSense. AdSense may show personalised ads, meaning the ads you see could be based on your browsing activity, either on this site or elsewhere, as tracked by Google's advertising systems.

When an ad loads on a page, Google AdSense can set its own cookies and receive information about your visit, separately from any information collected directly by this site. We don't control which specific ads are shown or how Google decides to personalise them; that process is handled entirely by Google.

Because this site is used by school-age children, we do not use any data collected through this site to build advertising profiles of individual visitors ourselves. Any ad personalisation that occurs is carried out by Google's advertising systems, not by us.

Third-Party Games and Embedded Content

Many of the games on this site are not hosted by us directly. Instead, they are embedded using iframes from third-party game providers. When one of these games loads, the provider running that game can set its own cookies and can receive your IP address directly, separately from anything collected by this site.

We don't control these third-party providers, how long they keep data, or what they do with it once it's collected. Their own privacy practices apply to whatever happens inside the embedded game, and this policy only covers unblockedgameswtf.net itself.

If you have concerns about a specific embedded game, the safest approach is to avoid playing it, since we're not able to change or guarantee the privacy practices of providers whose games are simply loaded into our pages.

Children's Privacy

This site is used by many school-age children, so we try to keep the information we collect limited and straightforward, in line with expectations set by laws like COPPA and GDPR-K.

There are no accounts, logins or passwords on this site, so children are never asked to register or create a profile to play a game. We do not use any data collected through this site — including comments, contact messages, search logs or likes and favourites — to build a profile of a child or to target them individually.

Parents and teachers who have questions about a specific piece of information, such as a comment or contact message submitted by a child, can contact us at [email protected] so we can look into it.

Some features on this page, like embedded games, ads and analytics, are run by third parties as described elsewhere in this policy, and we don't control how those specific services handle data related to children.

How Long We Keep Data

Contact form messages, including the name, email, subject, message, IP address and user-agent stored with them, are kept until a site administrator manually deletes them. There is no automatic deletion schedule for this data.

For comments, search logs, and like/favourite records, we haven't set out a specific retention period in this policy. If you'd like a comment, search record, or other piece of information connected to you removed, you can contact us at [email protected] and we'll look into what can be done.

We generally keep information only for as long as it's needed for the purpose it was collected for, such as running the comment system, preventing duplicate likes, or keeping the contact form working properly and free of abuse.

Your Rights and Choices

Because there are no accounts on this site, there's no dashboard or settings page where you can manage your data directly. Instead, if you want to ask about, correct, or remove information connected to you — such as a comment, a contact message, or a search log entry — you can email us at [email protected] with details of what you're referring to.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them, though this may affect how ads or embedded games display on the site. Google also provides its own controls for Analytics and ad personalisation through its account and ad settings tools, which are separate from anything we can manage directly.

If you're a parent or guardian and believe a child has submitted personal information through the contact form or comments, please reach out to us so we can review it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add a new feature to the site, change one of the third-party services we use, or need to clarify how something works.

When we make changes, the updated version will be posted on this page, replacing the previous one. We don't currently maintain a version history or change log, so the version you're reading is the one that applies at the time you visit.

If a future change would meaningfully affect how we handle information already described in this policy, we'll aim to make that clear on this page rather than only in a footnote. We encourage checking this page occasionally, especially if you use the site regularly or are a parent or teacher reviewing it on a child's behalf.

How to Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, or about any information described in it — including comments, contact messages, search logs, or data collected through cookies, analytics, ads or embedded games — you can reach us at [email protected].

This is also the address to use if you're a parent, guardian or teacher with a question about a child's use of the site, or if you'd like us to look into removing a specific piece of information connected to you or someone you're responsible for.

We read messages sent to this address and will do our best to respond, though response times aren't guaranteed. Please include enough detail in your message, such as the game page, comment, or approximate date involved, so we can find what you're referring to.
