Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

At Relicthor, we believe that privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to data collection, usage, and protection when you visit and use our free-play social casino platform. We are committed to transparency and respect for your personal information.

Because Relicthor operates without user accounts, registrations, or financial transactions, we collect minimal personal information. This policy outlines exactly what data we may gather and how we handle it.

2. Information Collection

2.1 Age Verification Data

When you first access Relicthor, you are prompted to verify that you are 18 years or older. Your confirmation is stored locally in your browser's localStorage. This data:

• Remains on your device only and is never transmitted to our servers
• Serves solely to prevent repeated age verification prompts
• Can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser data
• Contains no personally identifiable information

2.2 Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, we may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit Relicthor:

• IP address (used for security and fraud prevention only)
• Browser type and version
• Device type and operating system
• Referring website URL
• Pages viewed and time spent on site
• General geographic location (country/region level only)

This information is collected anonymously and used solely for improving site performance and security.

2.3 What We Don't Collect

Relicthor does NOT collect:

• Names, email addresses, or contact information
• Financial or payment information
• Precise geolocation data
• Social media profiles or personal identifiers
• Behavioral data across other websites

3. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used exclusively for:

• Site Functionality: Ensuring Relicthor works properly across different devices and browsers
• Security: Detecting and preventing malicious activities, abuse, or unauthorized access attempts
• Improvement: Analyzing usage patterns to enhance user experience and optimize performance
• Legal Compliance: Meeting legal obligations and enforcing our Terms of Service

We do NOT use your information for marketing, advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.

4. Browser Storage Technologies

4.1 Local Storage

Relicthor uses browser localStorage to remember your age verification status. This is essential functionality that enables the site to operate properly and comply with age restrictions.

4.2 No Tracking Cookies

We do not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking technologies. Your browsing activity on Relicthor is not monitored across other websites.

4.3 Managing Storage

You can clear your browser's localStorage through your browser settings. Note that doing so will require you to re-verify your age on your next visit.

5. Third-Party Links and Services

Relicthor contains links to external responsible gaming organizations (GambleAware, GamCare, Gambling Therapy). These links are provided as resources for users seeking support.

We do not share your information with these organizations. When you click external links, you leave our site and become subject to the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy practices independently.

6. Data Security Measures

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Secure server infrastructure
• Regular security audits and updates
• Access controls and monitoring
• Encrypted connections (HTTPS) where applicable

However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, though we strive to protect your information to the best of our ability.

7. Children's Privacy Protection

Relicthor is strictly intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years of age. Our age verification system is designed to prevent minor access.

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and prevent further access.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Given the minimal data we collect, there is limited personal information to manage. However, you have the right to:

• Clear your age verification data by clearing browser localStorage
• Stop using Relicthor at any time
• Request information about data we may have collected during your visit
• Contact us with privacy concerns or questions

9. International Data Transfers

Relicthor is accessible globally. If you access our site from outside your home country, please be aware that information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in locations different from your own.

By using Relicthor, you consent to the transfer of information to other countries, which may have different data protection rules than your country.

10. Data Retention

Because we don't maintain user accounts or profiles, we do not retain personal data long-term. Technical logs used for security purposes are typically retained for a limited period necessary for their intended purpose, then automatically deleted.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or site functionality. Significant changes will be indicated by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly. Your continued use of Relicthor after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

12. Contact Us

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through the appropriate channels provided on our website. We take privacy inquiries seriously and will respond promptly.

13. Summary

In summary, Relicthor respects your privacy by collecting minimal data, avoiding tracking technologies, never selling your information, and maintaining transparency about our practices. Your entertainment and privacy are both important to us.
