Privacy Policy
This policy covers how Shutter Story Game collects, uses, and stores information provided by visitors or advertisers. We designed each practice to stay aligned with Google AdSense rules and global privacy expectations.
Information We Collect
- Server logs: the hosting provider automatically records IP address, browser type, referrer, and timestamp for security and fraud prevention.
- Email correspondence: messages sent to contact@shutterstorygame.com plus any attachments you provide.
- AdSense signals: Google may collect cookies or device identifiers to deliver and measure ads, as described in its Ad Technologies Policy.
We do not run user accounts, comments, or payment forms, so we never ask for passwords or billing information.
How We Use Information
- Replying to questions, press outreach, or DMCA notices you submit.
- Improving article accuracy, accessibility, and device compatibility.
- Detecting abuse, blocking spam, and complying with legal obligations.
We do not sell or rent visitor data. When we collaborate with partners, we only share anonymized insights such as aggregate traffic counts.
Cookies & Google AdSense
Google uses cookies and local storage to serve ads across the site. These technologies help prevent repeated impressions and tailor ad categories that comply with family-friendly settings.
You can manage or opt out of personalized ads through Google Ad Settings, the AboutAds choices tool, or your browser’s cookie controls. Disabling cookies may reduce ad personalization but the site will remain accessible.
Embedded Game Content
Sections of this guide load playable games through embedded iframes. These experiences are hosted by third parties that may set their own cookies, run analytics scripts, or collect device information under policies we do not control.
These third parties can include independent developers, browser game platforms, or advertising partners, and the roster evolves as we rotate featured titles. Because the mix changes frequently, we do not publish a static list.
You can manage exposure to these embeds by disabling third-party cookies in your browser, turning off the “embedded content” category inside our consent banner, or reviewing and adjusting the privacy options posted on each hosting provider’s website.
We audit embedded games on a rolling basis and remove any host or title that no longer meets our safety, privacy, or policy obligations.
Data Sharing & Retention
Access to raw logs and email archives is limited to two administrators bound by confidentiality. We retain email threads for up to 24 months to track follow-up actions, while server logs are automatically purged by our host within 90 days unless needed for security investigations.
We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental request that has been reviewed for validity.
Your Choices
- Request a copy or deletion of any message you previously sent by emailing the same address used to contact us.
- Adjust cookie preferences within your browser or via the links in the Cookies section.
- Unsubscribe from any future newsletter (if launched) using the footer link contained in the message.
Children’s Privacy
The site is designed for a general audience but is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents or guardians may request deletion of a child’s information by emailing us.
Updates & Contact
We review this policy whenever our data practices, hosting vendors, or monetization tools change. Updates take effect on publication.
Questions can be sent to contact@shutterstorygame.com.
