1. Privacy Commitment

At Valkorysta, we value and respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices for our free-play social casino platform. We are committed to transparency about what information we collect and how we use it.

2. Data We Collect

Given that Valkorysta is a simple entertainment platform, we collect very limited information:

• Age Confirmation: We store your age verification acceptance locally in your browser using localStorage. This confirms you're 18 or older and stays on your device.
• Technical Data: We may log basic technical information including browser type, operating system, device information, IP address, and timestamps for platform maintenance and security.
• Game State: Any game progress, preferences, or settings are typically stored locally on your device and not sent to our servers.

3. How Information Is Used

The minimal information we collect serves specific purposes:

• Verifying age compliance with our 18+ requirement
• Maintaining platform functionality and performance
• Identifying and fixing technical problems
• Protecting platform security and preventing misuse

4. Browser Storage

We primarily use your browser's localStorage feature to remember your age verification. This data remains on your device under your control. You can delete it anytime through your browser settings, though you'll need to verify your age again when you return.

5. Cookie Usage

Valkorysta does not use extensive cookies. Any cookies we implement are strictly functional and necessary for proper platform operation. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking cookies, or share cookie information with third parties.

6. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise share your information with third parties. Since Valkorysta operates as a free entertainment platform without user accounts, marketing operations, or financial transactions, there is minimal data to share in the first place.

7. No Financial Data

We do not collect, process, or store any financial information. No credit cards, bank accounts, payment details, or other financial data is ever requested or handled. This is because our platform involves absolutely no monetary transactions.

8. Minors' Privacy

Valkorysta is designed exclusively for adults 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we discover that a minor has accessed our platform, we will take steps to prevent continued access.

9. Security Measures

We implement appropriate security measures to protect the limited data we collect. However, given the minimal nature of our data collection and the lack of sensitive personal or financial information, privacy risk is inherently very low.

10. Your Control

You maintain complete control over locally stored data:

• Clear localStorage in your browser settings to remove age verification
• Delete cookies through browser controls
• Use private or incognito browsing for session-only storage
• Clear browser cache to remove cached game files

11. External Links

Our platform links to external responsible gaming organizations (GambleAware, GamCare, Gambling Therapy). These organizations operate independently with their own privacy policies. We encourage reviewing their policies if you visit those sites.

12. Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of Valkorysta after changes indicates acceptance of the revised policy.

13. No Marketing

Valkorysta does not send marketing emails, promotional messages, or newsletters. We don't collect email addresses or contact information, so your inbox remains undisturbed by us.

14. Usage Analytics

We may use basic analytics to understand general platform usage (like which pages are most visited), but this is done in an aggregated, anonymized manner that cannot identify individual users.

15. Global Access

Valkorysta can be accessed from anywhere in the world. By using our platform, you consent to the information handling practices described in this policy, regardless of your geographic location.
