Privacy Policy

Welcome to Solitaire Online. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of data transparency and user privacy. This policy outlines how cookies, temporary local storage, and anonymous real-time multiplayer session data are isolated, processed, and protected on our platform.

1. Cookies & Analytical Tracking

Our website utilizes industry-standard cookies to support advertisement serving and basic web analytics. Specifically, we use Google AdSense and Google Analytics to serve personalized and non-personalized advertisements to our users based on their online interests. These third-party vendors use DART cookies to collect anonymous browsing profiles. You can choose to opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting your browser's cookie settings or adjusting your Google Ad Preferences page.

2. Temporary Local Storage Isolation

To preserve the retro gaming experience, all single-player game parameters, individual play statistics, custom desktop backgrounds, and cosmetics are stored locally within your web browser using HTML5 LocalStorage and IndexedDB. This data is isolated on your local system, meaning:

• Your personal win streaks, game completion times, and move counts are never transmitted to our remote servers.
• No database records linking your physical identity to your solitaire statistics are maintained.
• You can delete this data at any time by clearing your web browser's cookies and site data.

3. Real-Time Multiplayer Session Protection

Our multiplayer connection lobby, real-time matchmaking, friend lists, and messaging services are engineered with data isolation in mind. When you connect to the multiplayer lobby:

• Anonymity: You choose a display name at sign-in. This name is assigned an anonymous, temporary Player ID. It does not link to any email addresses, phone numbers, or social media credentials.
• Active Routing: All instant chat messages, nudges, and matchmaking requests are routed in real-time. No logs of your private chat conversations are stored on our servers. Once a chat window is closed or a session is ended, the routing data is cleared.
• Peer-to-Peer Isolation: Matchmaking and game-sync physics are processed on-the-fly. No persistent logs of your matches or competitor lists are kept in our databases.

4. Consent and Policy Updates

By interacting with our platform, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify this document as new PWA features or multiplayer updates are integrated. All revisions will load inline on this clean page, ensuring zero layout shifts (CLS) on both desktop and mobile platforms.
