Our Privacy Philosophy
BurntHar Social Casino is built on a foundation of user privacy and data minimization. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to information handling as you use our entertainment platform.
As a purely recreational social casino, BurntHar collects minimal user information. We prioritize transparency in our data practices and operate with the principle that less data collection means stronger privacy protection.
Information Collection
Age Verification Storage: When you confirm your age on first visit, BurntHar stores this confirmation in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to external servers.
Technical Analytics: We automatically collect basic technical information including browser type, device category, operating system, and general location data. This helps us ensure games function properly across different platforms.
Game State Data: Your game progress and preferences may be saved locally in browser storage to improve your experience across sessions. This data remains entirely on your device.
How We Use Information
The minimal information we collect serves specific purposes:
- Enforcing our 18+ age requirement through browser-based verification
- Optimizing game performance across different devices and browsers
- Diagnosing technical issues and improving platform stability
- Enhancing user experience based on device capabilities
BurntHar does not sell user data to third parties. We do not engage in cross-site tracking or participate in advertising networks. Your information is used solely to operate and improve our platform.
Local Storage Usage
BurntHar uses browser localStorage to remember your age verification and save game preferences. This technology stores information directly on your device, giving you complete control over your data.
We do not use traditional cookies for tracking purposes. Our use of browser storage is limited strictly to essential functionality needed for the platform to work correctly.
Managing Storage: You can delete localStorage data anytime through your browser settings. Note that clearing this data will require you to verify your age again on your next visit.
Third-Party Links
BurntHar includes links to responsible gambling resources: GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These organizations operate independently with their own privacy practices.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external websites you visit through BurntHar links. We are not responsible for third-party data handling practices.
Security Practices
Despite our minimal data collection, we implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we process. Our platform uses secure web protocols and doesn't require user accounts, which inherently limits data exposure.
However, no internet service can guarantee absolute security. While we employ reasonable safeguards, we cannot provide unconditional assurance against all security threats.
Minors' Privacy
BurntHar is exclusively for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we learn that someone under 18 has accessed our platform, we will take steps to prevent continued access.
Your Control Over Data
Because BurntHar stores most data locally on your device, you maintain direct control through browser settings. Your privacy rights include:
- Deleting browser localStorage data at any time
- Disabling JavaScript to prevent storage (affects platform functionality)
- Using private browsing modes that don't persist storage
Data Retention
Data stored in your browser remains until you delete it manually. BurntHar does not maintain long-term server-side user databases. Any technical logs are temporary and not linked to individual users.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Significant changes will be reflected in the effective date. We encourage regular review of this policy to stay informed about our privacy practices.
International Access
BurntHar is accessible globally. Users from different jurisdictions should be aware that data protection laws vary. By using BurntHar, you acknowledge that your information may be processed according to our platform's privacy standards.
