Classic Games takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share limited information when you use classicgames.app, including game pages, category pages, search, recommendations, embedded players, blog content, and related website features.

Classic Games is a browser-based retro games site. You can browse and play classic emulator games online without creating an account, installing software, or purchasing a subscription.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to operate, protect, measure, and improve the website.

Usage Data

We may collect information about the pages you visit, games you open, categories you browse, search terms, referral pages, gameplay launch events, and similar interaction data. We use this information to understand what is working, improve discovery, fix issues, and keep the site useful.

Device and Network Data

When you access Classic Games, our systems and service providers may process technical information such as browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location derived from IP address, language preference, performance data, error logs, and security signals.

Cookies and Local Storage

Classic Games may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, support game player behavior, store local save states where supported, improve performance, measure site usage, and show or measure advertising.

Most game progress or emulator state data, when available, is stored locally in your browser. You can remove that data through your browser settings.

Support Messages

If you contact us for support, feedback, legal requests, or copyright-related issues, we may collect the email address and message content you provide so we can respond and keep appropriate records.

Third-Party Service Data

We may use third-party providers for hosting, content delivery, analytics, security, advertising, emulator delivery, or similar website operations. These providers may process limited technical information under their own privacy policies.

Classic Games does not intentionally collect payment card data, bank details, or subscription billing information for the public game experience.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve classicgames.app.
• Load games, categories, search results, recommendations, blog pages, and embedded players.
• Remember preferences and support local browser save behavior.
• Monitor performance, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and protect the service.
• Measure website usage and improve game discovery.
• Display and measure advertising where ads are shown.
• Respond to support, feedback, rights-holder, and legal requests.

4. Cookies, Advertising, and Analytics

Classic Games may use cookies, local storage, analytics tools, advertising networks, and similar technologies. These tools help us understand traffic, prevent misuse, improve the experience, and show ads in or around the game player and site pages.

Advertising partners may use cookies or other identifiers to deliver, measure, and improve ads. Their data practices are governed by their own policies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies or storage may affect preferences, ads, embedded features, or parts of the gameplay experience.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information only when necessary:

• With service providers that help host, protect, analyze, advertise, or operate the website.
• With rights holders, legal advisors, or authorities when needed to respond to valid legal requests, protect users, protect the service, or address rights-related claims.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, with appropriate safeguards.

6. Games and Third-Party Content

Some game pages, emulator files, ads, media, or external resources may load from third-party domains. Those third parties may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, and requested resource URL. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

7. Data Retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including security, analytics, support, legal compliance, and service improvement. Support emails may be retained so we can continue handling requests and maintain appropriate records.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including access controls and secure transport where applicable. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, and you should use Classic Games with that understanding.

9. Children

Classic Games is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to review and delete it when required.
