Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how MythosArcade ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use mythosarcade.com (the "Platform"). By using the Platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Who We Are

MythosArcade is a games hosting platform operated by Ben, based in the UK. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, you can contact us at ben@mythosarcade.com.

2. Information We Collect

Information you give us directly:

• Email address and password (when you create an account)
• Username, profile bio, and avatar (if you choose to add them)
• Game files, titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and tags you upload
• Comments and feedback you post on the Platform
• Any information you send us when you contact us directly

Information collected automatically:

• Basic usage data such as pages visited, games played, and time spent on the Platform
• Device and browser type
• IP address
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 6)

We do not collect payment information directly, as the Platform does not currently process payments.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Create and manage your account
• Host and display the games you upload
• Show your profile and uploaded games to other users
• Display play counts, likes, and rankings (e.g. "Most Popular")
• Moderate content and enforce our Terms and Conditions
• Respond to support requests or content reports
• Understand how the Platform is used so we can improve it
• Serve advertising to help cover the cost of running the Platform (see Section 6)

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Children's Privacy

MythosArcade is a family-friendly platform that welcomes users of all ages, including children. We take children's privacy seriously.

• We do not knowingly collect more personal information from children than is necessary to operate an account (email and username).
• If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information without your consent, please contact us at ben@mythosarcade.com and we will remove it promptly.
• We do not knowingly use children's data for targeted advertising profiling.

5. Sharing Your Information

• Service providers who help us run the Platform, such as our hosting provider (Supabase).
• Legal reasons, if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of MythosArcade, our users, or others.
• With your consent, in any other circumstance.

Your uploaded games, username, and profile are visible publicly to other users of the Platform by design, as MythosArcade is a public showcase platform.

6. Cookies and Advertising

• Keep you logged in
• Remember your preferences
• Understand how the Platform is used
• Serve advertising through third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense)

Third-party advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Platform may not work properly without them.

7. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, our database and storage provider. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, but no online platform can guarantee complete security.

Uploaded game files and account data are retained for as long as your account is active, or until you request removal.

8. Your Rights

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Request a copy of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at Ben@mythosarcade.com. We will respond as promptly as we can.

If you are in the UK or EU, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office, ico.org.uk).

9. Data Retention

We keep your account information and uploaded content for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information and uploaded games within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain certain information for legal reasons.

10. International Users

MythosArcade is operated from the UK. If you use the Platform from outside the UK, your information may be transferred to and stored in the UK or other countries where our service providers operate. We take steps to ensure your data is protected wherever it is processed.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the Platform grows. If we make significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent version.
