Whether you are browsing our website mindplaygames.com, using our services as a registered user, or engaging with us as a valued customer, we ensure that your personal data is processed with the highest standards of privacy and security. This policy outlines our practices and your rights related to personal information.

Data collection and processing

Our commitment to transparency and data protection extends to how we collect and use your personal information. We gather personal data through various interactions, including but not limited to, when you utilize our services or products such as Games, or directly provide information to us.

The following list details the types of personal information we may process:

  • Operating system and version
  • Device ID
  • IP address (truncated by Google Analytics before storage)
  • Browser type, version, language, and user agent string
  • Screen resolution and viewport dimensions
  • Pages visited, referrer URL, and time spent on each page
  • Pseudonymous client identifiers stored in cookies (e.g. Google Analytics client ID)
  • Approximate geographic location (country/region) derived from IP address
  • In-game interaction events (game started, level completed, and similar non-personal gameplay metrics)

Please note, that we only process information that is essential for delivering our services, complying with legal obligations, or enhancing your user experience. Your privacy is paramount, and we are dedicated to handling your personal information responsibly and in accordance with all applicable laws.

At Joyglitch, Lda, we believe in using personal information responsibly and ethically. The data we collect serves multiple purposes, all aimed at enhancing the services we offer and ensuring the highest level of satisfaction among our users, customers, and employees. Here are the key ways in which we use the personal information collected:

Analytics and performance tracking

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager, services provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA). These tools help us understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve content and user experience.

GA4 collects the data listed above in pseudonymous form. IP addresses are truncated before storage and never associated with other Google data. Event-level data is retained for the period configured in our GA4 property (default: up to 14 months) after which it is automatically deleted. Aggregated reports may be retained indefinitely.

Some processing takes place on Google servers located in the United States. Transfers outside the European Economic Area are protected by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and supplementary measures maintained by Google. For more information, see Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy and the Google Analytics safeguards at support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, analytics cookies and identifiers are set only after you grant consent through our cookie banner. We use Google Consent Mode v2 with region-targeted defaults so that no analytics or advertising data leaves your device until you opt in.

Data storage and protection

Data storage

Personal information is stored on secure servers operated by our hosting and analytics providers. Website hosting and content delivery is handled by infrastructure located within the European Union. Analytics data processed by Google Analytics 4 is stored on Google servers in the United States and other regions where Google operates.

For services that require international data transfer, we ensure that such transfers comply with all applicable laws — including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) — and maintain data protection standards equivalent to those in our primary location.

Data hosting partners: We partner with reputable data hosting providers committed to using state-of-the-art security measures. These partners are selected based on their adherence to stringent data protection standards.

Data processing agreements

When we share your data with third-party service providers, we do so under the protection of Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that ensure your information is managed in accordance with GDPR and other relevant data protection laws. These agreements mandate that third parties implement adequate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of your data.

Transparency and control

We believe in transparency and providing you with control over your personal information. You will always be informed about any significant changes to our sharing practices, and where applicable, you will have the option to consent to such changes.

Your trust is important to us, and we strive to ensure that your personal information is disclosed only in accordance with this policy and when there is a justified reason to do so. For any queries or concerns about how we share and disclose personal information, please reach out to us at info@joyglitch.com.
