PRIVACY POLICY

Our Privacy Commitment

Zippyra Social Casino is committed to protecting user privacy and maintaining transparency about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what control you have over your data when using our platform.

1. Information Collection Philosophy

Zippyra adheres to a minimal data collection philosophy. Unlike many online platforms that gather extensive user information, we collect only what's necessary for basic platform operation. Our service does not require user accounts, personal profiles, or extensive personal data submission, which inherently limits the amount of information we collect.

The majority of data related to your Zippyra usage is stored locally on your own device rather than on our servers. This approach gives you direct control over your information and minimizes our data handling responsibilities.

2. Local Storage Mechanisms

Zippyra uses browser localStorage to maintain your age verification status. When you confirm being 18 or older, this confirmation is stored as a small data flag in your browser's local storage. This flag prevents repetitive age verification prompts on subsequent visits to Zippyra.

Importantly, this localStorage data resides exclusively on your device. It is not transmitted to Zippyra servers, not accessible to us remotely, and remains under your complete control. You can clear this data at any time through your browser's privacy settings, though doing so will require re-verification of your age on your next visit.

3. Automatically Collected Technical Data

When you access Zippyra, standard web server logs may automatically collect certain technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, device type and model, operating system, referring website, pages accessed, and timestamps of your activity.

This automatically collected technical data serves operational purposes such as maintaining platform security, diagnosing technical problems, analyzing aggregate usage trends, and improving our services. We do not use this information to personally identify individual users or track your activities across other websites beyond Zippyra.

4. Cookie Policy

Zippyra employs a minimal cookie strategy. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, extensive behavioral tracking systems, or cross-site tracking technologies designed to monitor your internet activity beyond our platform.

Any cookies we use are strictly essential for basic site functionality, such as maintaining session state as you navigate between pages. These functional cookies do not collect personal information or create detailed behavioral profiles.

5. External Website Links

Our platform includes links to external resources, particularly responsible gaming organizations including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These external organizations operate independently with their own privacy policies and data practices.

When you click a link to an external website and leave Zippyra, you are no longer covered by our Privacy Policy. These third-party sites have their own data collection and usage practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing any personal information with them.

6. Security Measures

Although Zippyra collects minimal user data, we still implement reasonable security measures to protect our platform infrastructure and any information that passes through our systems. This includes using secure communication protocols where appropriate and following industry-standard security practices.

However, no internet-based service can provide absolute security guarantees. We recommend that users take their own security precautions including using secure internet connections, keeping devices updated with the latest security patches, and employing reputable security software.

7. Protection of Minors

Zippyra Social Casino is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals below this age threshold. Our age verification system specifically aims to prevent minors from accessing our platform.

If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed Zippyra, we will take immediate steps to restrict their access. Parents and guardians concerned about their child potentially accessing our site should implement parental controls on internet-capable devices and supervise children's online activities.

8. Data Retention Practices

Given Zippyra's minimal data collection model and absence of user accounts, traditional data retention policies are largely inapplicable. The age verification flag stored in your browser's localStorage persists until you manually clear it or until your browser data is cleared through other means.

Technical logs and automatically collected information maintained on our servers are retained only as long as necessary for operational, security, and legal compliance purposes. Once no longer needed, this information is deleted or anonymized to prevent identification of individual users.

9. User Privacy Rights

Because Zippyra does not maintain user accounts and collects minimal personal information, traditional data access and deletion requests are generally not applicable to our platform. However, you maintain complete control over locally stored data through your web browser.

You can clear all Zippyra-related localStorage at any time by accessing your browser's privacy or settings menu and clearing site data for our domain. This removes the age verification flag and any other locally stored information associated with Zippyra.

10. International Data Handling

Zippyra is accessible from locations worldwide, meaning users may access our platform from countries with varying data protection regulations. By using our service, you acknowledge that information may be processed in jurisdictions different from your own.

We strive to maintain privacy practices that respect international data protection principles regardless of processing location. However, data protection laws vary significantly by country, and your use of Zippyra constitutes consent to data handling as described in this policy.

11. Privacy Policy Updates

Zippyra reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

We encourage users to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we protect privacy. Continued use of Zippyra following any modifications indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

12. Privacy Questions and Contact

Questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data handling practices should be directed to us through appropriate contact channels. We take privacy inquiries seriously and commit to responding promptly and comprehensively to legitimate concerns.

Last Updated: This Privacy Policy is current as of October 2025 and applies to all interactions with Zippyra Social Casino.
