This Privacy Policy describes how Energy Link Tic Tac Toe (“the Game,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit our website at https://openthewish.com.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect Directly
The core game functionality of Energy Link Tic Tac Toe is designed with privacy in mind:
- We do not require any registration, login, or account creation.
- We do not directly collect or store your personal information like name, email, or address through the game itself.
- All gameplay (moves, wins) occurs locally in your browser.
2. Information Collected by Third-Party Services (Crucial for AdSense)
To support our free service, we display advertisements provided by Google AdSense. When you visit our site, Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect non-personal information for the following purposes:
- To serve personalized ads based on your browsing history across websites.
- To limit the number of times you see the same ad.
- To measure ad performance and generate reports.
This information may include, but is not limited to:
- Your IP address (general location, not precise).
- Your device type and browser.
- Pages you visit and interactions with ads.
- Non-personal demographic interest data.
This data collection is governed by Google’s own privacy policies. We do not have direct access to this data.
3. How We Use Information (Through Third Parties)
The indirectly collected information (by Google AdSense) is used to:
- Fund the operation and maintenance of this free game website.
- Ensure ads are relevant and not excessively repeated.
4. Your Rights & Choices (Opt-Out of Personalized Ads)
You have control over personalized advertising:
- Google AdSense Opt-Out: You can visit Google’s Ads Settings to manage the ads Google shows you or opt out of personalized ads entirely.
- General Cookie Control: You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Note that blocking cookies may affect the functionality of the ads and, in some cases, the game.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect our website infrastructure. However, we reiterate that the primary data collection for advertising is handled by third parties (Google) under their security protocols.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our game is family-friendly. However, because we serve ads via Google AdSense, we cannot specifically direct the service to not collect data from children. We encourage parents to supervise their children’s online activity and use browser tools to manage cookie preferences.
7. Links to Other Sites
Our website may contain links (like “For More FAQ”) to external sites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy. The “Last Updated” date at the top will reflect changes. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
