Privacy Policy for Solitaire Land

This Privacy Policy explains what information Solitaire Land (the website at solitaireland.com, the "Website") collects when you play, why, who else receives it, how long we keep it and what you can ask us to do with it. You can play every game without an account and without giving us your name or email address.

  1. Information we collect

    • Your browser's game identity. The first time you play, our server creates a random identifier and key for your browser (a "device") and the game keeps them in your browser's local storage. They let us save your games, levels, daily challenges and trophies without an account. Clearing your browser's data removes them from your browser.
    • Technical information. When a playing session starts (about once a day) we record your browser's user agent, platform, vendor, screen size and language, the address of the page and the IP address of that session. From the IP address, a location database kept on our own server works out your country and city; the IP address is not sent to anyone for this. Your country is used for statistics and for the seasonal decorations that suit where you are.
    • Your games. For each finished game: the game, the deal number, the time, the number of moves, whether you won and the type of deal, with your device, country and city. For wins we also receive the list of moves you made (a replay), which we use to check that the win is real; the best replays of each deal are kept and can be watched by other players. Replays, best times and best moves are shown without any name.
    • Usage events and errors. The game sends us events about how it is used (for example a game started or finished, a setting changed, how fast the page loaded), linked to your device. We keep these individual events for 90 days and after that only daily totals. When the game hits a programming error, it sends us the error message, the page and your browser's user agent so we can fix it; these are grouped and deleted 30 days after the error was last seen.
    • Google sign-in (optional). If you choose to sign in with Google, Google sends us your Google account identifier, your name, the address of your profile picture and your email address (if Google has verified it). We store these with your country and city at the time of your first sign-in, link them to your browser's device and save your game settings and progress so they follow you to other browsers where you sign in. Your name and picture are shown to you in the game.
    • Contact and bug report forms. When you write to us through a form we store your name, email address, message, the page and the country and city worked out from your IP address, and forward the message to our email inbox so we can answer.
    • Server logs. Our web servers record each request (IP address, page, time, browser) for security and to fix problems. These logs are deleted after 14 days.
    • Google Analytics and Google AdSense. The Website uses Google Analytics to measure visits and Google AdSense to show advertising, which pays for the Website. Both use cookies and similar technologies and receive your IP address and information about your visit. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland they run only as far as you allow in the consent message shown on your first visit, which you can change at any time through the privacy and cookie settings link the consent message leaves on the page. You can learn how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

  2. Why we use it
    We use this information to run the game and save your progress (needed to provide the service you asked for), to check scores and keep them fair, to keep the Website secure and fix problems, and to understand how the Website is used so we can improve it (our legitimate interests). Advertising and analytics cookies in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are based on your consent. We do not sell your information and we do not use it to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

  3. Who receives it
    We share information only with the service providers that help us run the Website: OVH, which hosts our servers in the European Union; Cloudflare, which delivers the Website's pages and protects it from attacks, and so handles your IP address and requests; Google, for Google Analytics, Google AdSense and Google sign-in, as described above, and for the email inbox where messages from our forms arrive. Some of these providers process information outside the European Union, in particular in the United States. They do so under the safeguards required by law, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. We may also disclose information when the law requires it, or to protect the Website and its players from fraud or abuse.

  4. How long we keep it
    Your device, your games, levels, daily challenges, trophies and, if you signed in with Google, your Google details and settings are kept for as long as the Website runs, unless you ask us to delete them. Usage events are kept for 90 days, error reports for 30 days after the error was last seen and server logs for 14 days. Messages from the forms are kept for as long as we need them to deal with your request. Backup copies of our database are replaced within about two months.

  5. Your rights
    You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to receive it in a portable format, or to object to or restrict how we use it. To do so, write to us at the address below; for game data, tell us that you play on this Website so we can find your device (we may ask you to confirm it is yours). You can also complain to a data protection authority, such as the one where you live.

  6. Children
    The games are suitable for all ages and can be played without giving us any personal details. Google sign-in and the contact forms are meant for people aged 16 or over. If you believe a child under 16 has given us personal details, contact us and we will delete them.

  7. Security
    We take reasonable steps to protect your information, such as encrypted connections and restricted access to our servers. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

  8. Links to other websites
    This Policy does not apply to websites or services that we do not own or control, including those the Website links to.

  9. Changes to this Policy
    We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and change the date at the bottom of this page. If a change is significant, we will also tell you on the Website.

  10. Contact
    If you have any questions or requests about this Policy or your information, contact us at [email protected].
