Privacy Policy

Our Approach to Privacy

At Chestoria, we treasure your privacy as much as the adventures we offer. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to protecting your personal information and explains our data collection practices. We've designed Chestoria to minimize data collection while maximizing your entertainment experience.

Data Collection Practices

Chestoria operates on a principle of minimal data collection. We do not require account creation, personal information submission, or identification to use our games. The primary data storage mechanism we employ is browser localStorage, which stores information locally on your device rather than on our servers.

The specific information stored includes your age verification status, which prevents you from seeing the age gate on subsequent visits. This local storage does not transmit data to Chestoria servers and cannot be used to identify you personally or track your behavior across different websites.

When you play games on Chestoria, your browser may temporarily cache game assets and store preferences locally to improve performance and maintain your settings. This cached information is managed entirely by your browser and is not accessible to Chestoria or third parties.

Cookies and Browser Technologies

Our platform uses minimal cookie technology for functional purposes only. The primary cookie stores a simple flag confirming that you have verified your age, allowing you to bypass the age gate on return visits. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information.

Chestoria does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or any third-party data collection tools. We do not monitor your activities, compile usage statistics, or share any information with external parties. Your gaming sessions remain private and anonymous.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Clearing cookies will remove your age verification status, requiring you to verify again on your next visit, but will not affect your ability to use Chestoria.

Purpose of Collected Information

The limited information we collect serves one purpose: enhancing your user experience by remembering your age verification and game preferences. We do not analyze this data, create user profiles, or use it for marketing purposes. We do not sell, rent, lease, or share any user data with third parties.

Our business model is based on providing free entertainment, not on monetizing user data. We have no interest in tracking your behavior, building advertising profiles, or collecting information beyond what's necessary for basic platform functionality.

Data Security Practices

Although we collect minimal data, we implement reasonable security measures to protect the integrity of our platform. Connections to Chestoria should be made through secure protocols where available. The locally stored data on your device is protected by your browser's security mechanisms and your device's operating system security features.

Since we don't maintain centralized databases of user information, there is no repository of personal data that could be compromised in a data breach. The distributed nature of localStorage means your information stays on your device under your control.

Third-Party Links

Chestoria includes links to external responsible gambling resources including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These organizations have their own privacy policies governing how they collect and use information. When you click these links, you leave Chestoria and become subject to the privacy practices of those external sites.

We are not responsible for the privacy policies or data practices of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how they handle your information.

Children's Privacy Protection

Chestoria is designed exclusively for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain information from individuals under 18. Our age verification system is designed to prevent minors from accessing our platform.

If we become aware that a minor has accessed Chestoria or that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we will take immediate steps to block access and remove any such information. Parents should implement appropriate parental controls to prevent minors from accessing age-restricted content.

User Control Over Data

You have complete control over the data stored by Chestoria on your device. You can clear localStorage and cookies through your browser settings at any time, which will delete your age verification status and any saved preferences.

Because we don't collect personal information or create user accounts, there are no profiles to access, update, or delete. Your privacy is inherently protected by our minimal data approach rather than complex data management systems.

Do Not Track Signals

Chestoria respects Do Not Track browser signals. However, since we don't track users by default, the presence or absence of a Do Not Track signal doesn't affect our operations. We do not track users under any circumstances, regardless of browser configuration.

International Users and Data Transfers

Since Chestoria does not collect personal data or transfer information to centralized servers, international data transfer regulations are largely inapplicable. The localStorage and cookies used by our platform remain on your device regardless of your geographic location.

Users from any country can access Chestoria. The minimal local data storage is governed by your device security settings and browser privacy controls, not by international data transfer frameworks.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of Chestoria after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

We encourage periodic review of this policy to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Our fundamental commitment to minimal data collection and user privacy will remain constant.

No Marketing Communications

Chestoria does not collect contact information such as email addresses or phone numbers. Consequently, we cannot and will not send you marketing emails, promotional messages, newsletters, or any other communications. You will never receive unsolicited messages from Chestoria.

Privacy Questions and Concerns

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, our data practices, or concerns about your privacy while using Chestoria, we welcome your inquiries. Although we collect minimal data, we are committed to transparency and will address any privacy concerns you may have.
