1. Introduction
Lantern Fest is a free, browser-based festival-themed arcade game. This Privacy Policy explains what little data is involved when you play, why it exists, and what your rights are.
2. Data we collect
We aim to collect as little as possible. The only data involved is:
- localStorage (on your device): Your high score and any game preferences are written to your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us.
- Standard web server logs: When your browser requests the game page, our web server automatically records the request, including your IP address, browser version, operating system, and timestamp. These logs are retained only for security and diagnostic purposes and are deleted on a rolling basis.
We do not ask for, and have no means of receiving, your name, email address, date of birth, location, payment details, or any other personal identifier.
3. How we use data
Server log data is used exclusively to:
- Ensure the game is delivered correctly to your browser
- Diagnose and resolve technical errors
- Detect and block malicious or abusive traffic
We do not use any data for advertising, marketing, behavioural profiling, or sale to third parties.
4. Cookies and browser storage
We do not use cookies. We use browser localStorage only to save your high score between sessions on the same device and browser. You can remove this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this page.
5. Third-party services
No third-party scripts, fonts, analytics tools, advertising networks, or social media widgets are loaded by Lantern Fest. Every resource is served from our own infrastructure.
6. Children
Lantern Fest is suitable for players of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 — in fact, we collect no personal information from anyone.
7. Data sharing and selling
We do not sell, rent, trade, or transfer any data to advertisers, data brokers, or analytics companies. We share data only when required by law or to protect the security of our infrastructure.
8. Your rights
Your in-game data lives entirely in your own browser. You can delete it any time via browser settings. Since we hold no personal data on our servers, there is nothing to access, rectify, or erase from our side.
9. Security
Because we store no personal data on our servers, a breach of our infrastructure would not expose your personal information. Your localStorage data is protected by your browser's built-in security model.
10. Changes to this policy
If we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of Lantern Fest after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
