Privacy Policy

FreshSpawn is a small arcade for games made by young creators. I try to collect as little about you as possible. This page explains, in plain words, what is collected and why.

Playing games

You can play every game without an account. When you play, I count a play and a page view for that game. Those counts are not tied to your name.

If you make an account

• Your email address (or the account you sign in with, like Google) so you can sign in.
• Games you favorite, star ratings, emoji reactions and comments you post.
• Game progress, if a game uses FreshSpawn cloud saves.

Comments show your nickname only. Other players never see your email.

If you submit a game

I store the game's title, link, cover, description, tags and controls, which are shown publicly once approved. The contact email you give is private. It's only used to send you my review and is never shown on the site.

When a game link is submitted, FreshSpawn loads that page once to check it for malware or phishing before I review it.

Feedback

Messages sent on the feedback page are emailed to me. A reply email is optional.

Ads and cookies

FreshSpawn may show ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads, which can be based on your visits to this and other sites. You can turn off personalised ads in Google's ad settings. Read how Google uses data at policies.google.com.

FreshSpawn also uses your browser's storage to keep you signed in and to hold guest game saves on your device.

Games made by other people

Games run inside FreshSpawn but are hosted by their creators or by sites like itch.io. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

Kids and parents

If you are under 13, please ask a parent or guardian before making an account or submitting a game. Parents can ask me to delete their child's data at any time.

Deleting your data

I never sell your data. To have your account, comments or submission removed, send a message through the feedback page with the email you used, and I'll delete it.
