Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2025
1. Who we are
Gaelic Gamez ("we", "us", "our") is an independent website available at gaelicgamez.com. It is not affiliated with the Gaelic Athletic Association. For any privacy-related queries, contact us at gaelicgamez@gmail.com.
2. What data we collect
We do not collect, store, or process any personal data on our servers. We have no user accounts, registration forms, or contact forms. When you email us directly, we receive only the information you choose to include in that email.
3. Browser storage (localStorage)
To save your game progress between visits, we store data locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is never sent to us or any third party. It includes:
- Which puzzles you have completed
- Your answers and remaining lives for each game
- The date of the last puzzle you played
You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data or local storage for gaelicgamez.com.
4. Cookies and advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. Google AdSense may set cookies in your browser to serve personalised ads based on your interests and browsing history. These are third-party cookies set by Google, not by us.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. For more information about how Google uses data, see Google's advertising policy.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
We do not use any other advertising or tracking cookies.
5. Hosting and analytics
This website is hosted on Netlify. Netlify automatically collects server-side data about visits to this site, including page views, bandwidth usage, top pages, and referrer information. This data is collected at the server level — it does not use cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not identify you personally. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. We use this data solely to understand how the site is performing and to improve it.
For more information, see Netlify's Privacy Policy.
We do not use Google Analytics or any other client-side analytics service. If this changes, this policy will be updated.
6. Third-party links
Our website does not link to third-party websites. Any future links will be clearly identifiable, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
7. Your rights under GDPR
If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including:
- The right to access any personal data we hold about you
- The right to correct inaccurate data
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to object to or restrict processing of your data
- The right to withdraw consent to personalised advertising at any time
Since we hold no personal data ourselves, most of these rights apply to data held by third parties (such as Google). You can exercise your rights over Google's data via their account settings. For any queries about how we handle data, email us at gaelicgamez@gmail.com.
8. Children's privacy
Gaelic Gamez is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
10. Contact
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how your data is handled, please email us at gaelicgamez@gmail.com.
