Privacy Policy

Privacy policy: how Kids Play Board Games collects and uses data, including Google advertising cookies, analytics, and your rights under the GDPR.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Kids Play Board Games (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at https://www.kidsplayboardgames.com (the “site”). By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

We run a board game blog for families in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. This policy covers how we handle the small amount of data involved in running it, and it respects the privacy laws that apply in each of those regions.

2. What we collect

We do not require an account and we do not ask for personal information to read our reviews, guides, or comparisons. You can browse the entire site without logging in or providing your name or email.

We may receive anonymous usage information such as page views through a privacy friendly analytics service. This service does not identify individual visitors.

If you email us, we receive the email address and message you send, and we keep that correspondence only long enough to respond to your question or request.

3. How we use your data

We use the limited data we receive to understand how the site is used, improve our content, and operate the site. We do not sell personal information. We do not maintain user accounts and we do not store personal data on our own servers beyond the email correspondence described above.

4. Advertising and cookies

This site is supported by advertising and by affiliate links. Third party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, and show ads based on your interests across the web. These technologies are controlled by the ad partners and only activate after you accept cookies through our consent banner.

For more detail on which cookies are set and how to manage them, see our Cookie Policy.

5. Google and third party ad partners

Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads based on prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.

Our advertising partners may use cookies to collect and use data about your activity to provide relevant advertising. You can learn more about how Google handles advertising data at Google’s Privacy and Terms.

6. Your choices and consent

When you first visit the site, a consent banner asks whether you accept cookies. If you accept, advertising cookies may be used. If you decline, ad scripts that rely on cookies stay blocked. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser cookies or using your browser’s controls.

7. Your rights under the GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we or our partners process about you.
  • Request rectification of inaccurate data.
  • Request erasure of your data.
  • Restrict or object to processing, including objection to interest based advertising.
  • Data portability.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country.

8. Data retention

We do not store personal data on our own servers beyond the email correspondence described above. Analytics data is retained by the analytics provider per its own schedule, and ad related data by the ad partners per their policies.

9. Children’s privacy

Our content is written for parents and families, and it is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13 (or the age of consent in your country). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.

10. Third party links

Our site contains links to third party websites, including board game publishers, retailers, and Amazon. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their policies before you provide them with any information.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add a new feature or when our advertising partners change. The current version is always available on this page, and the date above reflects when it was last updated.
