The Publisher (everwinner64) is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your data. Access to the Site implies full and unconditional acceptance of this Privacy Policy by the User.

2. Information Collected

The Site does not require user registration and does not directly collect personally identifiable information. However, certain information may be collected in the following cases:

Contact form: If you voluntarily provide your name, email address, or other details, these are used solely to respond to your request.
Analytics (PostHog): The Site uses PostHog to collect limited technical and usage data (such as page views, interactions, browser type, and country). This data is collected in a way that does not directly identify you. Depending on your consent, PostHog may operate without cookies or use cookies and similar technologies to improve measurement accuracy.
Cloudflare services: The Site uses Cloudflare (including Turnstile) to ensure security, availability, and protection against abuse. Cloudflare may process technical data such as IP addresses, request metadata, and browser identifiers. Such processing may involve transfers of data outside the European Union, notably to the United States, under appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection laws and Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
Cookies and Local storage: The Site uses strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies required for the proper functioning, security, and performance of the Site. In addition, certain preferences (game settings) are saved locally in your browser via localStorage. These data remain on your device, are not accessible by the Publisher, and are never used for advertising purposes.

3. Use of Information

Personal data you provide (via the contact form) are used only for the purpose of communicating with you. No data are used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

The Site uses PostHog, to understand how the Site is used and to improve its performance and features.

PostHog is configured to respect your cookie preferences:

Without consent: analytics are performed in a cookieless mode. In this mode, no cookies or persistent identifiers are used. Only limited, aggregated, and non-identifying technical data (such as page views or interactions) are collected. This does not allow us to identify you.
With consent: PostHog may use cookies and similar technologies to recognize returning users and better understand usage patterns over time. This enables more accurate and reliable statistics.

In all cases, the data collected remain anonymous to us. We do not know your identity and do not attempt to identify you. These analytics are used strictly to improve the Site, while respecting users' privacy.

Accepting analytics cookies helps us better understand user needs and continuously improve the quality of the Site.

4. Data Retention

Data transmitted via the contact form are kept only as long as necessary to process your request, and then deleted. No automatic storage or backup is made by the Site.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

The Publisher does not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties, except as required by law or to ensure the Site’s technical operation (e.g., through Cloudflare).

6. Cookies and Local Storage

The Site uses strictly necessary cookies required for its operation, security, and correct functioning. These cookies do not require prior consent under applicable regulations.

Analytics on this Site are provided by PostHog:

If you decline cookies, PostHog operates in a cookieless mode that does not store cookies or use persistent identifiers. Only anonymous and limited statistical data are collected.
If you accept cookies, PostHog may store cookies and similar technologies to improve measurement accuracy, such as recognizing returning users.

This choice does not affect your ability to use the Site.

Certain preferences are stored locally via localStorage. These data remain under your control and can be cleared at any time via your browser settings.
