Privacy Policy

1. Our Approach to Privacy

The Dog Spin respects your privacy and believes in minimal data collection. This Privacy Policy explains what limited information we gather, how we use it, and how we protect it. Our platform is designed to function with as little data as possible because we believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a luxury.

2. Information We Collect

The Dog Spin collects very limited information:

• Age Verification Flag: When you confirm being 18 or older, we store a simple marker in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device and simply prevents repeated age checks.
• Technical Server Data: Our servers automatically log basic information like IP address, browser type, device information, access times, and pages visited. This is standard for virtually all websites.
• Local Game Data: Your game preferences and progress are stored locally on your device through browser storage. We don't access or collect this information.

3. How We Use Information

The minimal data we collect serves specific purposes:

• Enforcing our 18+ age requirement for responsible entertainment
• Maintaining website functionality and performance
• Identifying and resolving technical issues
• Protecting against security threats and abuse

We do NOT use your information for advertising, profiling, data sales, or any form of monetization. The Dog Spin generates no revenue from your data.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

The Dog Spin uses browser storage technologies minimally:

• Age Verification Storage: A simple flag indicating you've confirmed your age, stored locally on your device
• Game Preferences: Settings like sound preferences may be saved locally for convenience

You control all local storage through your browser settings. Clearing it will remove the age verification flag and require re-confirmation on your next visit.

5. Data Sharing Practices

The Dog Spin does not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:

• When required by law, court order, or legal process
• To protect our rights, property, or safety
• With service providers who assist in hosting (bound by confidentiality)

6. External Links

The Dog Spin contains links to responsible gaming organizations (GambleAware, GamCare, Gambling Therapy). These external websites operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage reviewing their policies before sharing personal information.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited data we handle. However, no internet system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against all possible threats.

8. Children's Privacy

The Dog Spin is for adults only. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we discover underage access, we will take immediate steps to delete any information and prevent further access.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Given our minimal data collection, traditional data subject rights may not apply extensively. However, you can:

• Clear local storage through your browser at any time
• Stop using The Dog Spin, ending future data collection
• Contact us with specific privacy questions

10. Policy Changes

The Dog Spin may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes become effective immediately upon posting. We'll update the "Effective" date at the top. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of updated terms.
