PlayGonu (playgonu.com) is a free collection of browser-based board games. This page explains what information the site collects, what it doesn't, and how third-party services used on the site may handle data.
PlayGonu doesn't have user accounts, logins, or a backend database. Every game runs entirely in your browser — your moves, game state, and win/loss history are never sent to or stored on our servers.
The site uses your browser's local storage, and a small cookie, to remember two things on your own device only: your preferred board color theme, and your language choice. Neither is ever transmitted to us. You can clear this at any time through your browser's settings, and the site works fine without it.
On your first visit, PlayGonu's hosting provider (Cloudflare) may redirect you to a language-appropriate version of the site based on your country, inferred from your network connection — the same way most content-delivery networks route traffic. This happens at the network level and isn't logged or stored by PlayGonu itself. Picking a language manually overrides this for future visits.
PlayGonu may use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand traffic at an aggregate level (pages visited, approximate location, device type) — this doesn't use tracking cookies or build an individual profile of you. If PlayGonu displays advertising (for example through Google AdSense), that advertising partner may independently set cookies or use similar technology to serve relevant ads and measure their performance, as described in Google's own policy on how it uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ads Settings or via industry tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page.
PlayGonu doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, since there's no account system or data entry anywhere on the site.
If this policy changes — for example, if PlayGonu adds a new feature that handles data differently — this page will be updated with a new "last updated" date above.
Questions about this policy can be sent to the contact listed on PlayGonu's GitHub repository.
