Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 27, 2025

1. Privacy Commitment

SkyThorn is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy articulates our approach to information collection, use, and protection in connection with our free-play social casino platform. We believe in transparency regarding data practices and strive to provide clear information about how we handle user information.

2. Information Collection Overview

SkyThorn has been architected with privacy as a core design principle. We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services effectively. Our platform does not require account creation, email addresses, or personally identifiable information to access games. We primarily utilize browser-based localStorage technology to maintain essential functionality such as remembering your age verification status.

3. Technical Data Collection

When you access SkyThorn, our servers automatically collect certain technical information that is standard for web-based services. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, device type and characteristics, operating system, pages accessed, time and date of access, and referring website addresses. This technical data helps us maintain platform functionality, optimize performance, troubleshoot issues, analyze usage patterns, and ensure security.

4. localStorage Implementation

SkyThorn utilizes browser localStorage to enhance user experience. The primary application of this technology is storing your age verification preference locally on your device. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties. localStorage enables us to remember that you've completed age verification, preventing repetitive prompts during subsequent visits while maintaining minimal data collection.

5. Purpose and Use of Information

Information collected by SkyThorn is used exclusively for legitimate operational purposes including: verifying compliance with age restrictions; maintaining and improving platform functionality and performance; analyzing usage patterns to enhance user experience; identifying, diagnosing, and resolving technical issues; protecting platform security and integrity; and complying with applicable legal obligations. We do not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

6. Third-Party Services and Links

SkyThorn operates as an independent platform without integration of third-party tracking services, advertising networks, or external analytics tools that collect personal information. Our games are self-contained and do not transmit data to external parties. However, we provide links to responsible gambling organizations including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. When you click these links, you navigate away from SkyThorn and become subject to the privacy policies and practices of those external organizations.

7. Data Security Measures

We implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the limited information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include secure server configurations, access controls, and security monitoring. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security. While we strive to protect your information using commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee its absolute security against all possible threats.

8. Age Restrictions and Minor Protection

SkyThorn is intended exclusively for individuals aged 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or process information from anyone under the age of 18. Our age verification system is designed specifically to prevent access by minors. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we will take immediate steps to delete such information from our systems.

9. User Rights and Data Control

You maintain control over your information. Because most data is stored locally on your device through localStorage, you can delete this information at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data through browser settings. The specific process varies by browser but is typically accessible through privacy or security settings. If you have questions about what information we may hold or wish to exercise your privacy rights, you may contact us through appropriate channels.

10. Cookie Policy

SkyThorn does not utilize traditional HTTP cookies for tracking or data collection purposes. We rely on localStorage for essential functionality only, specifically age verification persistence. This approach minimizes data collection while providing necessary functionality to enhance user experience.

11. Data Retention

Given our minimal data collection approach, retention concerns are limited. Technical logs and server data may be retained for reasonable periods necessary to maintain system operations, security, and troubleshooting. localStorage data persists on your device until you clear it or until it expires based on browser behavior. We do not maintain long-term databases of personal user information.

12. International Data Transfers

SkyThorn is accessible globally. By using our platform, you acknowledge and consent to the processing of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, regardless of your geographic location. If you are accessing SkyThorn from regions with data protection laws, you understand that your information may be processed in accordance with this policy.

13. Privacy Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Significant changes may be communicated through prominent notices on our platform. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices. Your continued use of SkyThorn following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

14. User Choices and Options

You have choices regarding your interaction with SkyThorn. You can choose to stop using our platform at any time. You can clear localStorage data through your browser settings. You can configure your browser to refuse localStorage, though this may affect functionality including age verification. Most modern browsers provide controls for managing site data and storage.

15. Legal Compliance

SkyThorn complies with applicable data protection and privacy laws relevant to our operations. While we operate as a free-play platform without handling financial transactions or extensive personal data, we maintain appropriate practices to respect user privacy and comply with legal obligations.

16. Contact and Inquiries

If you have questions, concerns, requests, or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, we encourage you to contact us through the communication channels available on our platform. We take privacy inquiries seriously and are committed to addressing them promptly and thoroughly.
