Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2025

1. Privacy Philosophy

Novarael is built on a foundation of user privacy and data minimization. We believe that entertainment platforms should collect only the absolute minimum data necessary for operation, and that's exactly what we do. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to information handling with complete transparency.

2. Information We Collect

Novarael operates with minimal data collection. We do not gather personal identifying information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses. The limited data we work with includes:

Critically, all this information is stored locally in your browser and never transmitted to our servers.

3. Local Storage Implementation

Novarael uses your browser's local storage mechanism to enhance your experience while maintaining privacy. This approach means:

4. Cookie Practices

Novarael uses only essential, functional cookies required for the Service to operate. We do not employ:

The minimal cookies we use are session cookies that expire when you close your browser. They serve only to maintain game state during active play.

5. Data We Don't Collect

To provide absolute clarity, here's an extensive list of data Novarael does NOT collect:

6. Third-Party Resources

Novarael provides links to responsible gambling organizations (GambleAware, GamCare, Gambling Therapy). These are independent websites with their own privacy policies and practices. When you click these links, you leave our Service and are subject to those organizations' privacy policies. We do not share any information with these third parties.

7. Data Security Measures

Since Novarael doesn't collect or store personal information on servers, traditional data breach risks are largely eliminated. The game-related data stored in your browser is protected by your browser's security features and is accessible only to you on your device.

8. Children's Privacy

Novarael is exclusively for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect any information from individuals under 18. Our age verification system is designed to restrict access to adults only. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minor access.

9. User Rights and Control

You maintain complete control over the limited data associated with Novarael:

10. No Tracking Policy

Many modern websites extensively track user behavior to build detailed profiles for advertising and analytics. Novarael categorically rejects this approach. We do not:

11. Data Retention

Because all Novarael data resides in your browser's local storage, retention is entirely under your control. We do not maintain server-side databases containing user information, session logs, or gameplay history. When you clear your browser data, all traces of Novarael usage are permanently removed.

12. International Use

Novarael can be accessed from any location globally. However, since we don't collect personal information on servers, there are no international data transfers or cross-border data processing concerns. All processing occurs locally within your browser, regardless of geographic location.

13. Privacy Policy Updates

We may occasionally revise this Privacy Policy to reflect Service improvements, legal requirements, or operational changes. When updates occur, we'll modify the "Effective Date" at the top of this document. Significant changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on the Service. Continued use after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

14. Legal Compliance

Novarael complies with all applicable privacy laws and regulations. Our minimal data collection approach often exceeds legal requirements, providing users with stronger privacy protections than legally mandated.

15. Do Not Track

Novarael respects Do Not Track (DNT) browser settings. However, since we don't track users anyway, enabling DNT won't change your Novarael experience - you already receive maximum privacy protection.

16. Your Consent

By using Novarael, you consent to this Privacy Policy. This consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time by discontinuing Service use and clearing your browser data.

17. Privacy by Design

Privacy isn't an afterthought at Novarael - it's a core design principle. From our initial architecture through every feature addition, we prioritize user privacy. We intentionally avoid implementing features that would require increased data collection, even if those features might enhance other aspects of the Service.

18. Transparency Commitment

If our privacy practices ever change in a way that involves collecting personal information, we will provide clear, prominent notice before implementation and obtain affirmative consent. We're committed to maintaining our privacy-first approach and will never compromise user privacy for commercial benefit.
