Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2025

Our Privacy Philosophy

At Surfiora, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. We've designed our platform to operate with minimal data collection, giving you maximum control over your information. This Privacy Policy explains our straightforward approach to handling user data and protecting your privacy while you enjoy our games.

What We Don't Collect

Let's start with what we DON'T collect: we don't require personal information to use Surfiora. No names, no email addresses, no phone numbers, no physical addresses. We don't ask for payment information because we never handle money. We don't collect browsing history, search data, or behavioral profiles. Surfiora is designed to be used anonymously if you choose.

Local Browser Storage

Surfiora uses your browser's local storage feature to save preferences and game data directly on your device. This includes your age verification confirmation and your virtual credit balance. This data never leaves your device – it's not uploaded to our servers or shared with anyone. You can delete this data anytime by clearing your browser storage.

Session Cookies Usage

We use minimal session cookies to maintain your browsing session as you navigate between pages on Surfiora. These cookies are temporary and automatically expire when you close your browser. They contain no personal information and serve purely functional purposes to ensure smooth navigation.

No Tracking Technologies

Surfiora does not use analytics tools, tracking pixels, or any form of user monitoring. We don't track which pages you visit, what games you play, or how long you stay on our site. We don't build user profiles or analyze behavior patterns. Your activity on Surfiora is completely private and unmonitored.

Third-Party Resources

Our platform includes links to external responsible gambling organizations: GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These are independent organizations with their own privacy policies. When you click these links, you leave Surfiora and enter their domains, where their privacy policies apply instead of ours.

Security Approach

Since Surfiora doesn't collect or store personal information on servers, traditional data breach concerns are minimized. The only data related to your Surfiora usage is stored locally on your device and protected by your browser's security features. We recommend keeping your browser updated and using strong device security practices.

Complete User Control

You have total control over any data Surfiora stores on your device. Through your browser settings, you can view, modify, or delete local storage and cookies at any time. Clearing this data will reset your age verification and game progress, but won't affect your ability to use Surfiora – you can simply start fresh.

Age Verification Privacy

When you confirm you're 18 or older, we store a simple verification flag in your browser's local storage. We don't collect your actual age, birthdate, or any identifying information. The verification relies entirely on your honest declaration and is stored only on your device.

No Data Monetization

Surfiora does not sell, rent, lease, or share user data with third parties. We don't have advertising partners, data brokers, or marketing affiliates. Our platform exists purely to provide entertainment, not to collect or monetize user information. Your privacy is not for sale.

Children's Privacy Protection

Surfiora is intended solely for adults 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Our age verification is designed to prevent underage access, though it relies on user honesty. If we learn that someone under 18 has accessed our platform, we will take steps to prevent further access.

Global Access

Surfiora can be accessed worldwide. Since we use only local browser storage and don't transmit personal data to servers, international data transfer regulations generally don't apply. Your data stays on your device regardless of where you're located geographically.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we update the policy, we'll change the effective date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our privacy practices.

Your Rights

Because we don't collect personal information in centralized databases, traditional data subject rights (like data access requests or deletion requests) don't apply in the usual way. However, you always have the right to clear all Surfiora data from your device through browser settings, giving you complete control.

Questions and Contact

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please reach out to us through the contact methods on our platform. We're committed to transparency and will address privacy-related inquiries promptly.
