Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 5, 2026

Nobody needs an account to play here. This policy follows a visit from start to finish and says what gets recorded along the way, who receives it and how long it lasts.

Who runs this site

Harsh Mittal runs Veranda Games through AdrawTech, a studio based in India. "We" on this page means him and the studio. Questions about your data go to support@verandagames.com.

When you open a page

• Server log. Our web host logs the request like any other: your IP address, your type of browser and the address you opened.
• Analytics. The Meta Pixel and Google Analytics start recording, as described under Analytics.
• Fonts. Your browser fetches our headline typeface from Google Fonts, which shows Google your IP address.
• Play count. A game page also bumps that game's play count by one. The count is a bare total with nothing in it about who you are.
• Error and speed reports. A short script of our own tells this site about JavaScript errors and page speed, so that we can find faults. A report holds the page path, the error or timing, your connection type (such as 4g) and the first 150 characters of your browser's user-agent. It keeps no IP address, uses no cookie and stays on our own server.

When you play

Games save to your browser's local storage: best scores, unfinished games, settings such as difficulty, and daily streaks. The site keeps the last 12 games you played, up to 50 favorites and a note of your votes there too. Apart from the vote itself, which is covered below, none of this reaches our server. Each browser keeps its own, so your phone and your laptop will not match, and clearing this site's data in your browser erases it for good.

The play itself is not private in the same way. The analytics tools are told when you press Play, when a round ends and what you scored.

When you vote

A thumbs up or thumbs down goes to our server and changes that game's totals, which do not record who voted. The vote also opens a session on our server and puts a session cookie in your browser, so that a second vote on the same game during that visit replaces the first. No other cookie comes from our own code, and browsers normally delete this one when they close. Every other cookie here comes from the analytics tools.

When you write to us

The contact form is the one place the site asks who you are. It sends what you type (your name, your email address, your message) to our support address, and the site's database keeps a copy. We use these to answer you and for no other purpose.

Analytics

The site's pages carry the Meta Pixel and Google Analytics. They start as soon as a page loads, and the site does not ask for your consent first. They record the pages you open, the games you view, when you press Play and when a game ends, including your score, along with your approximate location and device type. Google Analytics also receives likes, favorites and shares. Both rely on cookies or similar identifiers to recognize a browser, and if you have a Meta account, Meta can tie these events to it.

We use this data to measure our ads on Meta and to build advertising audiences, including audiences based on which game someone viewed. The section on your choices explains how to limit this.

Advertising

Veranda Games shows no ads yet, so no ad network is placing ads on these pages. If that changes, this section will name the network and explain your choices.

Who else receives data

• Google gets the analytics data and the font requests.
• Meta gets the Pixel data.
• Our web host holds the server logs and the site's database, and it carries the form's email.

Otherwise we hand over personal data only when the law requires it. We take no money for anyone's personal data. Some privacy laws, though, count sending visit data to an advertising platform as "sharing" or a "sale" even when no money moves, and the Meta Pixel does send such data.

Data in other countries

The site is run from India. Google and Meta process what they receive in the United States and other countries, and our web host's servers may not be in your country either. Data about your visit can therefore end up in places whose privacy laws give you less protection than your own.

How long things are kept

• Error and speed reports: about 30 days, after which a clean-up deletes them.
• Server logs: held by our web host for as long as its own rules say.
• Contact messages: no time limit. The email and the database copy both stay until we delete them, and we will delete yours if you ask.
• Play counts and vote totals: as long as the game stays on the site. They identify nobody.
• Google and Meta data: that is set by their policies and our account settings.
• Your local storage: until you clear it.

Your choices

• Browser settings. You can block or clear cookies, and a content blocker can stop the analytics tools from loading. The games do not need those tools to run, although blocking all site data can stop them saving your scores.
• Google Analytics. Google's opt-out add-on stops it in your browser.
• Meta. Your Meta ad settings let you limit how Meta uses this activity.
• Messages. Email us to see or delete a message you sent.

Depending on where you live, the law may give you further rights, such as seeing, correcting or deleting personal data, or objecting to its use. To use them, write to support@verandagames.com. With no accounts here, your name or email address leads us to nothing but a message you sent. What Google and Meta hold has to be handled through the tools above. The site does not respond to Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS and takes no payments, and there are no player passwords to steal. The database sits outside the public web folder, requests for configuration and database files are refused, and the admin area needs a password. Contact messages are stored as ordinary text, however, and nothing online is ever completely safe, so please leave passwords and payment details out of them. If you spot a security problem, write to support@verandagames.com.

Children

The site is for a general audience and is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly take personal information from anyone under 13. It has no accounts or chat, but the analytics tools run for every visitor, because the site cannot tell how old anyone is. Should a child use the contact form, tell us and we will delete the message.

Changes to this policy

Any revision goes up on this page, with a new date under the heading.
