Privacy Policy

Daily Gaming Zone ("we," "us," or "our") provides a free online gaming and brain-training platform accessible at dailygamingzone.com. This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, registered users, and players across our web applications and mobile experiences.

For the purposes of data protection legislation (including the General Data Protection Regulation / GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act / CCPA), Daily Gaming Zone operates as the data controller responsible for your personal data.

We collect information in three ways: information you provide directly, automated technical information collected when you access our platform, and data gathered through third-party services.

• Account Details: When you voluntarily create an account (via email or OAuth Google Sign-In), we collect your display name, username, email address, and an avatar preference. For email accounts, passwords are cryptographically hashed using salted argon2/bcrypt algorithms—we never store or have access to raw plaintext passwords.
• Gameplay Telemetry & Progression: To provide core features such as daily challenges, streaks, levels, XP rewards, and global leaderboards, we record your in-game moves, solve times, completed puzzle seeds, scores, and achievement unlocks.
• Log & Device Data: When you visit our website, our servers automatically log technical metadata, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, date/time stamps, and basic interaction telemetry.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that enable website functionality, analytics, and advertising. We categorize our cookies as follows:

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on Daily Gaming Zone.

• Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its advertising partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to Daily Gaming Zone and/or other websites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or the European Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out portal at www.youronlinechoices.com.

We process collected data exclusively for legitimate business and operational purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and deliver our puzzle games and daily challenge services.
• To verify solve times, calculate XP, update global leaderboards, and prevent automated script abuse or cheating.
• To monitor platform stability, fix technical glitches, and optimize page load speeds.
• To respond to customer support inquiries and provide technical assistance.
• To serve relevant, non-intrusive advertisements in compliance with applicable advertising standards.

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you possess specific statutory rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

• Right of Access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your data and receive a readable copy.
• Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request the permanent deletion of your account and all associated gameplay history.
• Right to Data Portability: You may request your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw consent for optional cookies or analytics at any time via your cookie preferences.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific privacy protections:

• Notice of Collection: We disclose the categories of personal data collected in Section 2 above.
• Right to Know & Delete: You can submit a verifiable request to know what data we possess or request its deletion.
• No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell your personal information to data brokers for monetary consideration.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never deny services, charge different prices, or provide a differing quality of service if you exercise your privacy rights.

Daily Gaming Zone is designed as a family-friendly brain puzzle platform for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to our service, please contact us immediately at support@dailygamingzone.com and we will expeditiously remove such data.

We implement industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, including HTTPS encryption in transit, strict database access controls, and rate-limiting to protect your information. We retain personal gameplay and account data only for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide services. You can delete your account anytime.
