Information we collect

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (such as precise geolocation, health, or biometric data), and we do not ask for it.

How we use information

We do not sell your personal information

We do not sell your personal information — not the account details you choose (your username), not your gameplay, not anything — and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. We do not pass your account or gameplay data to our advertising partners. Our ad network does collect some information directly from your browser when it serves an ad, as described below.

Cookies & advertising

We use cookies and local storage for core functionality (preferences, display settings, saved progress, and sign‑in). The Service is ad‑supported. Ads are served by Adsterra, a third‑party advertising network, and some ad spaces show our own coloring books, which link to Amazon (see Amazon Associates below). When Adsterra serves an ad, its code runs in your browser and may set cookies or use similar technologies, and it receives technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, and the page you are viewing, which it uses to deliver, limit, and measure ads and to prevent fraud. Adsterra handles that information under its own privacy policy. Full details of the cookies we use are in our Cookie Policy.

You can block or delete these cookies in your browser settings, and opt out of many advertising cookies at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

Amazon Associates

PlayPendium is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. The book ads on the Service link to Amazon with our Associates tracking ID. We do not set cookies for these links, but if you click one, Amazon may set cookies and collect information about your visit under its own Privacy Notice. We do not receive your personal information from Amazon, only aggregate reports of clicks and qualifying purchases.

Consent (EEA, UK & Switzerland)

Our own cookies and local storage are used only for the core functions listed above. Advertising cookies are set by our ad network, as described above. You can refuse or remove them at any time through your browser settings (blocking third‑party cookies stops them), and you can contact us with any request about your data.

Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)

Where these laws apply, we process personal data on the bases of: your consent (for non‑essential cookies and personalized advertising); our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Service; and performance of our terms with you (for example, to run your optional account).

Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or U.S. state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, to opt out of certain processing (including targeted advertising or "sale/sharing"), and to withdraw consent. To exercise any right, contact us at privacy@playpendium.com; we may need to verify your request.

Children

The Service is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it. Some ad spaces show coloring books for children; those ads are addressed to the parents and other adults who buy them.

Third parties & international transfers

We use service providers to run the Service, including Adsterra (advertising), Amazon (only if you click a book link), our authentication and database provider (for optional accounts, cloud saves, and leaderboards), and our web hosting provider. These providers process data under their own privacy terms and only as needed to provide their service to us. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, or the EU‑U.S. Data Privacy Framework) where required.

Data retention & security

We retain personal data only as long as needed to provide the Service and to meet legal obligations, and we use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and to respond promptly to any incident.

Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date.
