Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how tomhamides.com (the “Site”) handles information. The Site is a personal hobby project, and I aim to collect as little data as possible.

1. Who I Am

The Site is run by an individual (“I”, “me”) as a personal project. You can reach me through the contact page.

2. Information I Collect

• Information you enter in games: some games (e.g. the trivia and scoreboard tools) let you type a nickname, team name, or score. This is used only to run the game while you play.
• Basic technical data: like most websites, my hosting providers automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages requested, for security and to keep the Site running.
• Cookies / local storage: the Site may store small amounts of data in your browser to remember game state (for example, your current session). I do not use this for advertising.

I do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and I do not ask you to create an account.

3. How I Use Information

• To operate the games and features you choose to use;
• To keep the Site secure and prevent abuse;
• To understand, in aggregate, how the Site is used so I can improve it.

I do not sell your information, and I do not use it for targeted advertising.

4. Third-Party Services

The Site relies on third-party providers to host content and run its games (for example, hosting and content-delivery platforms, and back-end services used by individual games). These providers process technical data on my behalf under their own privacy policies. Please refer to those providers' policies for details on how they handle data.

5. Data Retention

Game data such as nicknames and scores is temporary and is generally removed when a game session ends or after a short period. Standard server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and maintenance.

6. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact me and I will remove it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information I hold about you. Because the Site collects very little identifiable data, this is usually limited, but you can contact me with any request and I will do my best to help.

8. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
