🔒 Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Trading Desk – Idle ("the game", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit and play our game at trading-desk-idl.vercel.app. By using the site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Trading Desk – Idle does not require any account creation, login, or personal information to play. We do not collect your name, email address, or any directly identifying information.

The following types of data may be collected automatically:

Game save data (your in-game progress, assets, and capital) is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.

2. How We Use This Information

Data collected is used solely for the following purposes:

We do not sell, rent, or trade any data to third parties. We do not use any data for automated decision-making or profiling.

3. Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymised usage statistics. GA4 uses cookies to track sessions and measure engagement. Data is processed by Google LLC in accordance with their privacy policies.

IP anonymisation is enabled by default in GA4. Your full IP address is never stored.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Google AdSense & Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense uses cookies and device identifiers to serve personalised or contextual ads based on your browsing behaviour and interests.

Google's advertising partners may use cookies to collect data about your visits to this and other websites to display relevant advertisements. You can review Google's advertising privacy practices at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

To opt out of personalised advertising, visit aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu (EU users).

5. Cookies

Our site uses the following types of cookies:

No cookies are used for authentication or to store personal information. Your game save data is stored in localStorage, which is technically distinct from cookies and is not transmitted to any server.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of third-party services (analytics, ads) but will not affect your ability to play the game.

6. Children's Privacy

Trading Desk – Idle is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

7. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data directly, there is no personal data to retain. Anonymised analytics data is retained by Google Analytics for 14 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted.

Your game save data in localStorage is retained on your device until you clear your browser data or manually reset the game.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

Since we collect only anonymised, aggregate data through third-party services (Google Analytics, AdSense), most of these rights would need to be exercised directly with those services. For your in-game save data stored locally, you can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage.

9. Third-Party Links

Our pages do not contain links to third-party websites beyond service providers mentioned in this policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

11. Contact

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the data practices described herein, you can reach us by opening a discussion on the game's public repository, or by using any contact method listed on the game's hosting platform profile.
