Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how H5 Games Hub (accessible at https://your-domain.com) handles information when you use the site. We have written it to be specific and readable. If something is unclear, email us at contact@your-domain.com.
What we do not collect
We do not run a user account system. There is no registration, no login, no profile, no password, no comment section, and no file upload feature. We do not collect your name, email address, postal address, phone number, date of birth, or payment details as part of your normal use of this site. We do not build individual user profiles.
Technical and log data
Like every web server on the internet, our hosting infrastructure receives standard request data when your browser loads a page: your IP address, the page requested, the date and time, your browser type and version, and your referring URL. This data is generated automatically by the HTTP protocol. We do not actively collect it for our own analysis, and we do not combine it with any other information to identify you personally. It may be retained in server logs for a short period for security and operational purposes before being overwritten.
Browser localStorage
Your browser stores two small pieces of information locally on your own device:
- Recently played games β a list of the last games you played, so the site can show them on your return visit.
- Favourites β any games you have saved using the favourites feature.
This data exists only inside your own browser's localStorage. It is never transmitted to our servers or to any third party. It is not a cookie and is not accessible to advertising systems. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data or using your browser's developer tools.
Cookies
We do not set any first-party cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. Third-party cookies are set by the services described in the sections below. See our Cookie Policy for a full breakdown and management instructions.
Google AdSense advertising
This site displays advertisements served by Google through the Google AdSense programme. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies β including the DoubleClick cookie and related device identifiers β to serve advertisements, to limit how often you see the same ad, to measure ad performance, and to show you ads that may be relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across sites that use Google's advertising services.
Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising. Two routes are available to all users:
- Google's Ads Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
- The Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool: https://www.aboutads.info/choices
If you are in the EEA or UK, Google will ask for your consent before serving personalised ads. Where consent has not been given or is withdrawn, Google may still serve non-personalised ads based on contextual signals only.
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to measure aggregate traffic patterns β for example, how many visitors arrive from search engines, which game categories are most popular, and how the site performs on mobile devices. Google Analytics collects anonymised, aggregated data. It uses cookies to distinguish sessions. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors, and we have not enabled any Google Analytics feature that associates analytics data with Google's advertising systems. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Third-party advertising inside embedded games
Each game on this site loads in an embedded frame (iframe) served by a third-party HTML5 game distribution network β specifically GameMonetize or GamePix. Those networks and the game developers they represent may display their own advertising inside the game frame, independent of the advertising we display on the surrounding page. We have no control over, and no visibility into, the advertising technologies, cookies, or tracking that those third parties use inside their frames. Their own privacy policies govern that activity. If you have concerns about advertising or tracking inside a game, we recommend reviewing the policies of GameMonetize and GamePix directly.
Children's privacy (COPPA)
This site is a general-audience service and is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian believes that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at contact@your-domain.com and we will take steps to delete any such information promptly. Because we do not collect personal information from ordinary site use, the practical risk is low, but we take this obligation seriously.
Your rights under GDPR and UK GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights in relation to any personal data we hold about you:
- Access β the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold.
- Rectification β the right to request correction of inaccurate data.
- Erasure β the right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
- Restriction β the right to request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances.
- Objection β the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Portability β the right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.
- Withdraw consent β where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
- Complain to a supervisory authority β you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.
Because we do not collect personal data in the ordinary course of using this site, we hold very little data that could be subject to these rights. To exercise any of them, email contact@your-domain.com with the subject line "Privacy Request".
Our lawful bases for any processing that does occur are: legitimate interests (security log data, site operation) and consent (personalised advertising through Google AdSense, where required).
Your rights under CCPA and CPRA (California residents)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information for money, and we do not share personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioural advertising in a way that constitutes a "sale" under CCPA. To submit a California privacy request, email contact@your-domain.com with the subject line "California Privacy Request".
Data retention
We retain server log data only as long as our hosting provider retains it for operational purposes, typically a short period of weeks. We retain no other personal data. localStorage data is retained in your own browser until you clear it.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect the site's infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and we accept no liability for breaches beyond our reasonable control.
International transfers
This site is operated in accordance with applicable law. If you are accessing the site from outside the country where our hosting infrastructure is located, your connection data may cross international borders. We apply the protections described in this policy regardless of where data is processed.
Third-party links
This site contains links to external websites. Clicking a link takes you to a site we do not control and whose privacy practices we are not responsible for. Please review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
