Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

At Marinia, privacy is not an afterthought—it's a fundamental principle. We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to safeguard it.

We believe users deserve clarity and control over their personal information. By using Marinia, you entrust us with your data, and we take that responsibility seriously. This policy outlines our commitment to respecting your privacy rights.

2. Information Collection Practices

Marinia operates on a minimal data collection philosophy. Unlike many online platforms, we do not require account creation, email addresses, or personal details to access our games. The information we collect is limited to what is strictly necessary for platform functionality and improvement.

We may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit Marinia, including browser type, device information, operating system, IP address, and general usage patterns. This data helps us optimize performance, identify technical issues, and understand how users interact with our platform. We use localStorage in your browser primarily to remember your age verification status, ensuring you are not repeatedly prompted to confirm your age.

3. How We Use Your Information

The limited data we collect serves specific purposes related to improving your experience on Marinia. Technical information helps us diagnose problems, optimize game performance, and make informed decisions about platform improvements. Your age verification status is stored locally to provide a seamless experience without constant interruptions.

We do not use your information for targeted advertising, marketing campaigns, or any commercial purposes beyond operating and improving our platform. We do not build user profiles for monetization or share your data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

Marinia uses minimal cookies and local storage mechanisms essential for platform functionality. These primarily include storing your age verification consent to prevent repeated prompts. We do not use tracking cookies that follow you across the internet or build detailed profiles of your browsing behavior.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies or clearing local storage may impact functionality, particularly the age verification feature, which may require re-confirmation on subsequent visits.

5. Data Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited information we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While we use reasonable safeguards, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Given that Marinia does not collect sensitive personal information, financial data, or account credentials, the security risks associated with using our platform are minimal. Virtual game progress and credits exist only within your browser session and carry no real-world value, further limiting potential harm from any security incidents.

6. Third-Party Links and Services

Marinia contains links to external websites, including responsible gaming organizations and support resources. These links are provided for your convenience and reference. We do not control these third-party sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices, content, or data collection methods.

When you click a link to an external site, you leave Marinia and become subject to that site's privacy policy and terms. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit through our platform.

7. Children's Privacy Protection

Marinia is exclusively for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect, use, or maintain information from individuals under 18 years of age. Our age verification system is designed to prevent minors from accessing our platform. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided us with information or accessed our platform, we will take steps to delete such information and restrict access.

Parents and guardians should supervise their children's internet activities and ensure they do not access age-restricted platforms.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Given the minimal data we collect, there is limited personal information to access, modify, or request deletion of. Your age verification status stored in browser localStorage can be cleared by deleting your browser cache and local storage. This will reset your verification status and require you to confirm your age again on your next visit.

If you have specific privacy concerns or questions about data we may have collected, you can contact us through the information provided on our platform. We are committed to addressing privacy inquiries promptly and transparently.

9. International Data Transfers

Marinia is accessible globally, and as such, information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. Different jurisdictions have varying data protection laws, some of which may not be as comprehensive as those in your location. By using Marinia, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries that may have different data protection regulations.

10. Data Retention Practices

Because Marinia primarily stores data locally in your browser rather than on our servers, you control data retention. You can delete all locally stored data at any time by clearing your browser's cache and local storage. We do not maintain long-term databases of user activities, gameplay history, or personal information.

Any technical logs or analytics data we collect for platform improvement are anonymized and aggregated, making it impossible to identify individual users. This data is retained only as long as necessary for operational purposes and is then deleted.

11. No Behavioral Tracking

Marinia does not engage in behavioral tracking across websites or create detailed user profiles for advertising purposes. We do not use sophisticated tracking technologies to monitor your activities beyond our platform. Your entertainment activities on Marinia remain private and are not used to build marketing profiles or serve targeted advertisements.

12. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this document. Material changes to our privacy practices will be communicated through appropriate notices on our platform.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Continued use of Marinia after changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

13. Analytics and Performance Monitoring

To maintain and improve Marinia, we may collect anonymized analytics data about platform performance, game loading times, error rates, and general usage patterns. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users. Analytics help us identify technical issues, optimize performance, and make data-driven decisions about platform improvements.

14. California Privacy Rights

For California residents, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requirements. Given our minimal data collection practices, we do not sell personal information, nor do we share it for commercial purposes beyond operating our platform. California users have the same rights as all Marinia users regarding data access and deletion, which are limited due to our minimal data collection model.

15. European Privacy Compliance

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom, we acknowledge the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our minimal data collection practices align with GDPR principles of data minimization and purpose limitation. While we collect minimal personal data, any data we do process is handled in accordance with GDPR requirements where applicable.
