Snuggle Zen ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit snugglezen.com, how we use it, and what choices you have. We try to keep this short, honest, and free of dark patterns.
1. Information we collect automatically
When you visit Snuggle Zen, our servers and our analytics/ads partners may automatically collect the following information:
- IP address — used for fraud prevention, security, and rough geographic reporting.
- Browser type and version — used to optimize rendering and detect bugs.
- Device type — used to optimize layout for mobile vs. tablet vs. desktop.
- Operating system — used for compatibility testing.
- Referring URL and exit URL — used to understand how visitors arrive at the site.
- Pages visited and time stamps — used to understand which games are popular.
- Approximate geographic region (city or country level) — used for content relevance and ad matching.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
Snuggle Zen uses cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies. We break them into three categories:
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the site to function — for example, remembering your cookie consent choice, or remembering which game you were last playing. They do not track you across other sites.
2.2 Analytics cookies
We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as Plausible or Google Analytics in IP-anonymized mode) to count visits and understand which games are popular. You can opt out via the cookie banner or your browser's Do-Not-Track setting.
2.3 Advertising cookies
Google AdSense and other advertising partners set cookies to show relevant ads, cap ad frequency, and measure ad performance. These cookies may track your visits across multiple sites. You can manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
3. Google AdSense & data processing
Snuggle Zen uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Some third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website.
- Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.
For more information on how Google uses data from partner sites, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
4. Children's privacy (COPPA)
Snuggle Zen is suitable for all ages, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age in a way that violates the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) or comparable international laws.
- We do not require children to register, sign in, or provide personal information to play games.
- Advertising shown to children is treated as "non-personalized" wherever required by applicable law.
- If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at support@snugglezen.com and we will delete the data promptly.
5. Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have additional rights under the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA:
- Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right of rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right of erasure — ask us to delete your data.
- Right to restrict processing — limit how we use your data.
- Right to data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
- Right to object — object to processing for direct marketing or analytics.
- Right to opt out of sale (CCPA) — we do not sell personal data, but you may also opt out of "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising via the cookie banner or your browser's Global Privacy Control.
To exercise any of these rights, email support@snugglezen.com. We respond within 30 days.
6. Data retention
Server logs are retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging, then aggregated and deleted. Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months, then aggregated.
7. International transfers
Our servers and our advertising partners may process your data in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other legal mechanisms to protect your data in transit.
8. Security
We use HTTPS, modern TLS, and access controls to protect data. No system is 100% secure, but we work hard to keep your data safe. If you discover a vulnerability, please email support@snugglezen.com.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be announced on the homepage.
