Privacy Policy
Effective: October 9, 2025
1. Our Privacy Philosophy
BlackThornis respects your privacy and operates with transparency regarding information practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data associated with your use of our platform.
As a free social casino, BlackThornis collects minimal information—only what is necessary for platform functionality and user protection.
2. Information We Gather
BlackThornis collects limited data during your visits:
Age Confirmation: We verify users meet the 18+ requirement through a confirmation system. This verification is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to external servers.
Technical Data: Standard server logs may capture IP addresses, browser information, device types, and access times. This helps maintain platform stability and identify technical issues.
Usage Patterns: We may collect anonymized data about game interactions and session lengths to improve platform quality.
3. How We Use Information
Collected information serves specific purposes:
Platform Functionality: Technical data ensures BlackThornis operates correctly across devices and browsers. We use this information to diagnose problems and optimize performance.
Age Compliance: Verification systems prevent minor access, maintaining an adult-appropriate environment.
Improvement Initiatives: Usage analytics inform development decisions and quality improvements.
BlackThornis does not sell user data or use it for unrelated advertising purposes.
4. Browser Storage
BlackThornis uses cookies and localStorage for enhanced functionality:
Age Verification Storage: Your age confirmation is saved locally to prevent repeated prompts. This data stays on your device.
Session Cookies: Temporary cookies maintain session continuity as you navigate pages.
You can manage these technologies through browser settings, though disabling them may impact functionality.
5. Third-Party Connections
BlackThornis links to external responsible gambling resources. These external sites have their own privacy policies, which we do not control. Review their policies before sharing information.
We do not sell or trade user information with third parties for marketing.
6. Data Protection
We implement reasonable security measures to protect collected information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no digital system is completely secure.
Since BlackThornis collects minimal personal information and involves no financial transactions, data security risks are substantially reduced.
7. Protection of Minors
BlackThornis is designed for adults 18+. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our verification system prevents underage access. If we discover minor access, we will immediately restrict it and delete associated information.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding personal information. Given our minimal data collection, most user data exists locally on your device and can be managed through browser settings.
Contact us through platform channels to exercise privacy rights or submit inquiries.
9. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect practice changes or legal requirements. The "Effective" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. Review this policy periodically to stay informed.
10. Contact
Questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices should be directed through platform contact channels. We address privacy concerns promptly.
