Your privacy matters. When you visit hamsterrun.games, we want you to feel confident about how your information is handled. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what choices you have.
We keep things clear and limited — no hidden tracking, no unnecessary details collected, and no use of your information beyond what’s needed to run the site smoothly and securely.
Why This Privacy Policy Exists and When It Applies
This privacy policy explains how hamsterrun.games handles information related to your use of the website. It applies every time you visit the site, view pages, submit a message through a form, or interact with any content.
We’ve written this to be as clear and practical as possible. It covers both the data you choose to share with us and the technical details that may be collected automatically by the tools we use to operate the site. If you’re browsing, reading, or sending a message here — this policy applies to you.
The Types of Information We Collect and How It’s Handled
We collect only a small amount of data — just enough to help the site function properly, improve the experience, and respond to messages. This data falls into two categories: information you provide directly, and technical data collected automatically through standard tools.
All collected information is handled responsibly. It’s never sold, and we don’t use it to identify you personally unless you choose to provide contact details.
Information You Choose to Share with Us
If you fill out a form or contact us through the site, you may choose to share some basic personal details. This information is voluntary and only used for the purpose you submitted it.
Typical examples include:
- Your name or email address (if included in a message)
- A question, comment, or request sent via the contact form
- Feedback about site content or design
- Responses to a survey or short poll
We don’t require this information for you to use the site. You control how much you share.
Information Collected Automatically by Our Tools
When you visit hamsterrun.games, some data is collected automatically to help us understand how the site is used and to keep it running reliably. This data is not linked to your name or contact details and doesn’t identify you as an individual. It helps us improve layout, performance, and technical stability.
| 📊 Data Type | 📌 Example |
| 💻 Device info | Browser type, screen size, operating system |
| 📈 Usage behavior | Pages visited, time on site, bounce rate |
| 🌍 Location | General region based on IP (country-level only) |
| 🌐 Language setting | Preferred language from your browser |
We use this data in aggregated form and do not combine it with personal information.
What We Use Your Data For and How It Benefits You
The data we collect is used only to support and improve the experience of using hamsterrun.games. We don’t use it for advertising, profiling, or marketing. Our goal is to make sure the site loads reliably, feels intuitive, and reflects what visitors actually use or care about.
We also use this information to respond to your messages and to fix things when they go wrong. Everything we do with your data is focused on performance, quality, and helpfulness — not promotion.
Main Reasons We Process Information
Here’s how we use the data we collect:
- To improve page layout, load speed, and user flow
- To monitor which parts of the site are most useful or visited
- To identify and fix bugs, slowdowns, or access issues
- To reply to questions or messages you’ve submitted
- To track general interest in the site over time
- To help maintain site security and block misuse
We process only what’s necessary — and nothing more.
What Third-Party Services We Rely On and Why
To keep hamsterrun.games functional, fast, and reliable, we use a few trusted third-party services. These tools help us understand how the site is performing, detect problems, and deliver content smoothly across different devices and locations.
We select services carefully and only use tools that align with our minimal and respectful approach to data. These providers may collect technical data through cookies or analytics scripts, but never on our behalf for advertising purposes.
Services That Support Site Performance
Here are the tools we currently rely on:
| 🧩 Service | 💡 Role |
| 📊 Google Analytics | Tracks general visitor behavior (anonymous and aggregated) |
| 🖥️ Hosting Platform | Delivers website content securely and efficiently |
| 🛠️ Error Monitoring | Detects bugs, broken links, and performance issues |
These services process data under their own privacy policies and provide controls for opting out when applicable.
How We Secure Your Data and Limit Access
We take data protection seriously, even if we collect very little. All information transmitted through hamsterrun.games — such as form submissions or analytics traffic — is encrypted using standard HTTPS. This ensures that your connection to the site remains secure.
Data collected automatically is stored by our service providers with limited access, and we don’t keep full IP addresses or personally identifying details. Any messages you send are reviewed only by the person handling user contact and are never shared outside of that context.
We also regularly review and clean out stored data to avoid keeping anything longer than necessary. Our goal is to minimize both risk and retention.
Your Control and Rights
Even though we collect only a small amount of data, we believe you should still have full control over it. Transparency isn’t just about what we collect — it’s also about how you can view, change, or remove that information if you choose to.
This section outlines the basic rights you have regarding your data on hamsterrun.games. You don’t need an account or login to act on them. If you’ve interacted with us — for example, by submitting a message — you can ask what we received and what happened with it.
What You’re Allowed to Request or Control
You have the right to:
- Request a copy of any information you’ve sent through the site
- Ask us to delete a message, comment, or form submission
- Correct or update information if it’s inaccurate
- Limit or object to how we process certain types of data
- Withdraw consent for any optional data collection (e.g., analytics)
- Ask what services we use and how long we keep data
To make a request, use the contact form on this site. We may ask for minimal confirmation to protect your data before completing your request.
How Long We Keep Your Information and Why
We only keep data for as long as it’s useful for the reason it was collected. Contact form submissions are typically stored for up to 6 months — just long enough to respond or follow up if needed. After that, they are permanently deleted.
Analytics data, collected in aggregated and anonymized form, may be stored for up to 24 months to help us track general usage trends over time. We don’t keep anything longer than necessary, and we don’t store data “just in case.”
How We Treat Data Related to Children
This site is not designed for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from them. We don’t offer features that target children, and we don’t ask for age or date of birth during normal use.
If we ever learn that a child under 13 has submitted personal information through a form or message, we will delete it as soon as possible. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe this has happened, please contact us so we can take immediate action.
When and How This Privacy Policy Might Change
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the site works, which tools we use, or new privacy requirements. These updates will always be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date at the bottom.
If any changes affect how we handle personal data in a significant way, we’ll make that clear on the site itself. We encourage you to review this page occasionally so you stay informed — especially if you’ve submitted information or used the contact form recently.
Final Notes on How We Approach Privacy
We built this site with simplicity and respect in mind — and that extends to how we handle data. We don’t collect more than we need, we don’t use your information for advertising, and we don’t share it with third parties for profit.
Our goal is to keep hamsterrun.games useful, lightweight, and transparent. If you ever have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, feel free to reach out through the contact form. We’ll do our best to respond clearly and promptly.
