Privacy Policy

At The Ghost Smith, we prioritize the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that are collected and recorded by our platform and how we use it.

1. Data Collection and Usage

  • Personal Identification Information: We do not collect any personal data. We do not require users to provide names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other identifying information to access "The Obsidian Vault" or any of our logic games.

  • Log Files: Like most standard website servers, we use log files. These files merely log visitors to the site—usually a standard procedure for hosting companies and a part of hosting services' analytics. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, and referring/exit pages. This information is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.

  • Session Data: Temporary session data is used strictly to track your current game progress (e.g., number of attempts in the Vault). This data is automatically cleared when the game restarts or the browser session expires.

2. Cookies and Web Beacons

The Ghost Smith uses "cookies" to store information including visitors' preferences and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.

3. Google DoubleClick DART Cookie

Google is one of the third-party vendors on our site. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to theghostsmith.com and other sites on the internet. However, visitors may choose to decline the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

4. Our Advertising Partners

Some of the advertisers on our site may use cookies and web beacons. Our advertising partners include:

  • Google AdSense

Each of our advertising partners has its own Privacy Policy for its policies on user data. For easier access, we maintain a link to their privacy policies here. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on The Ghost Smith, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.

Note: The Ghost Smith has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

5. Third-Party Privacy Policies

The Ghost Smith's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.

6. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

Under the CCPA, among other rights, California consumers have the right to:

  • Request that a business that collects a consumer's personal data disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers.

     

  • Request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected.

     

  • Since we do not collect or sell any personal data, your rights are inherently protected on our platform.

     

7. GDPR Data Protection Rights

We want to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

  • The right to access, rectify, or erase data.

  • The right to restrict or object to processing.

  • As we do not store personal identifiers, these rights are maintained by our zero-data-collection policy.

8. Children's Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. The Ghost Smith does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.

9. Consent
