BuddyBoardGames.com is created and operated by BuddyBoardGames LLC, a small software company based in Seattle, Washington, USA. Our goal is to connect communities by helping them have fun remotely. We aim to keep things simple and respect your privacy, and below we outline our privacy policy.
BuddyBoardGames is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We do not collect personally identifiable information from regular users such as physical address or telephone number. If you choose to contact us or become a supporter, we may collect limited information such as your email address as described below. Information we collect is used to operate and improve the site.
We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We use trusted third-party services (such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense) to operate and improve the site, as described in this policy.
If you email us with feedback, either directly at buddyboardgames@gmail.com, or via the feedback box on our home page, we will have your email address in our mailbox. Your email address will only be used to reply to your feedback. It will not be used for unrelated marketing, sold, or rented to third parties for their own purposes.
Supporter/Buddy Information: If you choose to become a supporter through Buy Me a Coffee, we collect your email address and supporter name (if provided) to provide you with supporter perks. We also store information related to your supporter account status and access permissions. This supporter information is used solely to manage and provide supporter perks. We do not sell supporter information or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
BuddyBoardGames servers collect the following information:
For regular users (non-supporters), we do not associate this data to individual user identities. We do not ask regular users for first and last name, physical address, or telephone number. For supporters, we do associate supporter-related data with supporter accounts as described in the “Personal Information” section above.
BuddyBoardGames.com uses Google Analytics to gather information on “webpages requested”, “referring webpage”, “browser used”, “date and time” and “high-level geographic data”. We configure Google Analytics to limit data collection and sharing where possible, including IP anonymization and disabling data sharing with other Google services.
Some pages on BuddyBoardGames.com display advertisements served by Google AdSense (Google LLC). When ads are shown, Google may use cookies, mobile advertising identifiers, or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, limit how often you see the same ad, detect fraud, comply with legal requirements, and—where enabled—personalize ads (for example using activity on this site and elsewhere, subject to Google’s policies, your choices, and applicable law). This processing is subject to Google’s policies. You can read how Google uses data from sites that use its services in Google’s partner policy overview and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
We aim to keep advertising unobtrusive: in our AdSense account we use available controls to block sensitive ad categories so the site stays as appropriate and “clean” as possible for a family-friendly board game site. Personalized advertising may be used as part of standard AdSense operation. You can manage some ad personalization choices through Google’s Ads Settings and your browser or device settings (availability varies by region). Specific categories and Google’s products may change over time.
If you are a recognized supporter with perks activated through Buy Me a Coffee, you will receive an ad-free experience (Google AdSense placements are not loaded for your browsing session when our site recognizes your supporter status).
BuddyBoardGames.com uses cookies and browser local storage for the following purposes:
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of BuddyBoardGames.com, including supporter perks, limited access to try those features, or how ads load.
By using BuddyBoardGames, you agree to the use of cookies and technologies described in this policy.
BuddyBoardGames.com uses the screen name, room name, and the game moves information to run our games, and to troubleshoot in case players have issues. For Yahtzee, we also use the screen name to show the top 10 top scores, though players can opt out once they achieve a high score.
BuddyBoardGames.com uses the “webpages requested”, “referring webpage”, “browser and device used”, “date and time,” and “high-level geographic data” to understand aggregate usage on our site, so we can prioritize future improvements and bug fixes.
If you choose to provide your email address on the home page in the feedback box, BuddyBoardGames.com will only use this email address to contact you about your specific question or request. We will not sell it or use it for unrelated third-party marketing.
BuddyBoardGames LLC does not sell your personal information. Game and site usage data described in this policy is used to run and improve BuddyBoardGames as outlined above and is not sold to third parties for their own marketing lists.
When third-party advertising is shown, Google processes certain technical and usage data as an independent provider under Google’s terms and privacy policies, as described in the “Advertising (Google AdSense)” section. We configure AdSense to block sensitive ad categories where Google offers that control; personalized advertising may be used as part of standard AdSense operation. Google performs ad delivery and measurement.
