PRIVACY POLICY
How we protect your information in the wilderness
Your Privacy in the Wild
At The Moose Spin, we treat your privacy with the same care and respect that one shows to the untouched wilderness. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to data collection, usage, and protection. We believe in minimal intervention - collecting only what's essential and treating that information with the utmost respect.
Our Privacy Philosophy
Like the moose that leaves minimal tracks through the forest, we aim to leave a minimal data footprint. We don't believe in excessive data collection, invasive tracking, or selling user information. Our approach is straightforward: collect the bare minimum necessary to provide our service, protect that data vigilantly, and never abuse the trust you place in us.
Information Collection - What We Gather
The Moose Spin operates on a strict data minimization principle. We collect far less information than most websites, and we do so only for specific, legitimate purposes.
Session Storage Data: When you verify that you're 18 or older, we store a simple confirmation flag in your browser's session storage. This data exists only for the duration of your browser session and disappears when you close your browser. It never leaves your device and contains no personal information - just a yes/no flag indicating age verification.
Technical Logs: Our servers automatically record basic technical information common to all websites. This includes IP addresses, browser types, device information, operating systems, and access times. This data helps us maintain security, troubleshoot technical issues, and optimize performance.
What We DON'T Collect: We don't require registration, so we never collect names, email addresses, or passwords. We don't collect payment information because we never process payments. We don't use tracking cookies to monitor your behavior across the web. We don't build advertising profiles or engage in data mining.
How We Use Information
The limited information we collect serves specific, transparent purposes:
- Security: Technical logs help identify threats, prevent abuse, and maintain platform integrity
- Performance: Understanding traffic patterns helps us optimize loading times and gameplay
- Compliance: Age verification ensures we meet legal age restriction requirements
- Troubleshooting: Technical data helps us diagnose and resolve issues quickly
We never use your information for marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes beyond operating The Moose Spin. We don't sell data, rent data, or share data with advertisers. Your information stays with us and serves only the purposes outlined above.
Session Storage Explained
Session storage is a browser feature that stores data only for the duration of your browsing session. Here's what makes it privacy-friendly:
- Data is stored on your device, not our servers
- It automatically deletes when you close your browser
- It contains no personal or identifying information
- It doesn't track you across different websites
- You can manually clear it anytime through browser settings
We chose session storage specifically because it respects your privacy while providing a smooth user experience by preventing repeated age verification prompts during a single session.
Third-Party Services
The Moose Spin does not integrate third-party tracking services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or social media widgets. Our games run directly on our platform without communicating with external servers during gameplay.
The only third-party links on our site direct to responsible gaming resources (GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy). These links exist to provide support resources, and when you click them, you leave our platform and become subject to those organizations' privacy policies.
Data Security Measures
We implement robust security measures to protect the information we collect. Our platform employs industry-standard encryption, secure protocols, regular security audits, and best practices in web security. Access to server logs is restricted to authorized personnel only.
However, we must acknowledge that no internet-based system offers absolute security. While we implement strong protections, we cannot guarantee perfect security. That said, because we collect so little personal information to begin with, the risk to your privacy from using The Moose Spin is minimal.
Your Privacy Rights
You maintain complete control over the limited data associated with your use of The Moose Spin:
- Access: You can view session storage through your browser's developer tools
- Delete: Clear your browser's session storage to remove all stored data
- Control: Your browser settings give you full control over storage and cookies
- Opt-Out: Simply stop using the platform if you prefer not to accept these terms
Children's Privacy Protection
The Moose Spin is not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed our platform, we immediately take steps to block their access and delete any associated data.
Parents and guardians bear responsibility for monitoring their children's internet usage and implementing parental controls to restrict access to age-inappropriate content.
International Data Transfers
The Moose Spin is accessible worldwide. If you access our platform from outside your country of residence, please understand that data may be processed in different jurisdictions with varying data protection laws. By using our service, you consent to such processing and transfers.
Data Retention Practices
Session storage data is automatically deleted when you close your browser. Server logs containing technical information are retained for a limited period (typically 60-120 days) for security monitoring and troubleshooting purposes, after which they are automatically purged from our systems.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date below. Significant changes will be prominently announced on our platform.
Your continued use of The Moose Spin after policy changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
Contact and Questions
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data handling practices, please review this document carefully. For additional information about privacy rights and data protection, consult your local data protection authority or privacy commissioner.
