Plain-English privacy

Privacy

You can browse, rate, and comment here without an account. We collect as little as possible, and we've written it out plainly instead of burying it in legalese.

No account, no tracking profile

There are no sign-ups, logins, or passwords for visitors, so we never hold your name, email, or password just to let you use the site. We don't run third-party advertising networks and we don't build an advertising profile of you.

What we store, and why

โญYour ratings. When you rate a game we store the star value alongside an anonymous visitor identifier kept in your browser, so we can show you your own vote and let you change it โ€” one vote per game.
๐ŸŒYour IP address, briefly, to keep things fair. We record the connection's IP with a vote or submission to enforce "one vote per day per connection" and to curb spam and abuse. It isn't shown publicly.
๐Ÿ’ฌComments you post. The text you write is public. A name is optional โ€” leave it blank and your comment shows as "Anonymous." Don't include private information in a comment.
๐Ÿ“ฎGames you submit. If you submit a game, we keep what you send โ€” the description and any name or email you choose to add โ€” so we can review it and, if we have questions, reach you. Providing a name or email is up to you.

Cookies & your browser

We use a small identifier stored in your browser to remember your ratings so you can see and change your own vote. It isn't sold or shared, and it isn't used to follow you around other websites. Clearing your browser storage removes it โ€” after which the site simply treats you as a new visitor.

What we never do

๐ŸšซWe don't sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to anyone.
๐Ÿ™ˆWe don't share it, except where we're legally required to, or as needed to run and protect the site.
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธThe admin area is US-only. The site's moderation tools are reachable only from within the United States; ordinary browsing, rating, and commenting are open to everyone.

Questions or a removal request

Want a comment or submission removed, or have a question about any of this? Reach us through the contact form and we'll take care of it. This page describes how HomePoker.games handles information today; if it changes, we'll update it here.
