1. Introduction
Elvic Groups ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the Game Hubs Chrome extension ("the Extension") handles your data. We believe in full transparency — the short version is: we don't collect any of your data.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information. The Extension:
- Does not collect your name, email, or any identifying information
- Does not track your browsing activity
- Does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
- Does not make network requests or send data to external servers
- Does not use analytics services (no Google Analytics, no telemetry)
- Does not require you to create an account or sign in
3. Local Storage
The Extension uses your browser's localStorage to save minimal game data locally on your device. This data never leaves your browser. The data stored includes:
- High scores — Your personal best scores in games (e.g., Snake high score)
- Game preferences — Settings like sound on/off, difficulty level
This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted, shared, or accessible to us or any third party. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for the Extension.
4. Third-Party Links
The Extension contains links to third-party websites, including:
- Ko-fi (ko-fi.com) — For tip jar donations and sponsorship payments
- Sponsor websites — Links to current sponsors' websites
When you click on these links, you leave the Extension and visit a third-party site governed by its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
5. Advertisements
The Extension displays non-intrusive advertisements (banner ads on the hub page and between game rounds). Currently, these ads are managed directly by us and do not use third-party ad networks. This means:
- No ad tracking scripts are loaded
- No ad cookies are set
- No personal data is collected for ad targeting
- Ads are static and the same for all users
If we ever integrate a third-party ad network in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly and notify users through an Extension update.
6. Children's Privacy
The Extension is suitable for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information from anyone, we are compliant with children's privacy regulations including COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). No data is collected from children or adults.
7. Permissions
The Extension requests minimal Chrome permissions required to function:
- activeTab — Required to open game pages in new tabs when you click a game
We do not request access to your browsing history, bookmarks, downloads, or any other sensitive browser data.
8. Data Security
Since we do not collect or store any personal data on our servers, there is no risk of data breach from our side. All game data is stored locally in your browser and is only accessible to you.
9. Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data rights (access, correction, deletion) don't apply in the usual sense. However, you always have the right to:
- Clear local data — Clear your browser's localStorage to remove all saved game data
- Uninstall — Remove the Extension at any time from chrome://extensions
- Contact us — Ask any questions about our privacy practices
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be communicated through an Extension update. Continued use of the Extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
11. Compliance
This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) — EU
- CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) — US
- COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) — US
- Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies
