Privacy policy

Effective November 7, 2026

Eric's Games is a free hobby site run by Eric Scott ("we" or "us"). It's the home page for Eric's browser games and the place to send feedback about them. This page explains what the site keeps about you and what it doesn't. In short: we don't sell or share your information, we don't send marketing email, and we don't show ads or use tracking or analytics services.

Each game has its own privacy policy for what happens while you play it.

Visiting the site

• No account and no cookies. You don't need an account, and the public pages set no cookies.
• Server logs. Our server and our host see your IP address so they can deliver the pages. Short-lived logs may record it, along with the pages asked for and your browser type.

Sending feedback

When you use the feedback form, we keep:

• What you write: the game you picked (if any), the kind of feedback, the title and the notes.
• Your name or contact details, if you give them in the "how to reach you" box, such as an email address or phone number. This box is optional. We use what you put there only to reply to you about your feedback. We never use it for marketing, never publish it and never share it.
• Files you attach: screenshots, photos or PDFs. Before you send one, check that it doesn't show more than you meant to share, such as other people's names, messages or notifications.
• Technical details that help with bugs: the game's build (when you came from a game's Feedback button), your browser type and version, and when you sent it.

The server uses your IP address for a short time, in memory, to limit how many reports one address can send. It isn't saved with your feedback.

Your feedback is seen by Eric and the people he invites to help run the games. If we turn a report into a task for one of the games, we copy its title and notes (never your contact details) into that game's private project on GitHub.

Please don't send passwords, payment details, or anyone else's personal information.

Signing in (invited accounts only)

Accounts are invite-only and are for the people who run the site, not for players. If you're invited and sign in with Google:

• Google gives us your email address, your name and an ID for your Google account. We keep those, plus your role, who invited you, and when you were invited and last signed in.
• We use them only to sign you in and to show who has access. We never see your Google password, and we can't read anything else in your Google account.
• Signing in sets a cookie that keeps you signed in for up to 30 days. It isn't used for anything else, and signing out ends it.

Who else handles it

• Fly.io hosts the site's server, its database and the files you attach, in the United States.
• Google handles signing in for invited accounts, under Google's privacy policy.
• GitHub holds the games' private project tasks, which may include the title and notes of feedback, as above.

We don't sell, rent or share your information with anyone else, unless the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep feedback, and anything attached to it, for as long as it's useful for improving the games, and we may delete it at any time. An account is kept until you or an admin deletes it. Our host keeps server logs only briefly.

Your choices

You can ask what we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, including feedback you sent and the contact details in it. Since feedback needs no account, tell us roughly when you sent it and what it was about so we can find it. Write to player-game-support@googlegroups.com.

Children

This site isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you're under 13, please don't put your name or contact details in the feedback form. If you think a child has given us some, write to us and we'll delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its date.
