Privacy Policy

Information You Provide

You can use most of the site without creating an account. When you choose to submit content or contact us, we may store the information you provide.

• Leaderboard submissions, including nickname, score, steals, buckets, fouls, streaks, round counts, duration, and submission time.
• Game comments, including display name, optional email address, comment text, optional rating, game slug, and submission time.
• Player notes or homepage comments, including display name, optional contact details, rating, note text, and submission time.
• Messages you send through email or contact requests.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, Unethical Hoops may collect basic technical and usage information when pages load. This helps with debugging, analytics, abuse prevention, and site improvement.

• Basic technical information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, approximate time of visit, and referrer data.
• Local browser identifiers used for lightweight features, such as remembering whether a visitor has rated a game.
• Analytics data that helps us understand site performance and which pages are useful.

How We Use Information

We use submitted and technical information to show leaderboards, display comments, save ratings, detect invalid score submissions, improve game pages, respond to messages, and understand whether the site is working well.

We do not sell personal information. We may use hosting, database, analytics, and security providers to operate the site.

Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use cookies, browser storage, or similar local identifiers for lightweight functionality. For example, ratings may use a locally stored voter identifier so the same browser can update its rating instead of creating repeated votes.

Analytics or embedded third-party games may also use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies.

Third-Party Games and Links

Some game pages embed or link to third-party browser games. When you interact with those games or external pages, their operators may collect information under their own terms and privacy policies. Unethical Hoops does not control those third-party services.

Data Retention and Security

We keep submitted data for as long as it is useful for the site, needed to respond to requests, or required for legitimate operational reasons. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect stored information, but no website can guarantee perfect security.

Your Choices

• Ask what personal information may be associated with your submissions.
• Request correction or deletion of comments, ratings, or contact information where practical.
• Object to or limit certain processing where applicable law gives you that right.
• Contact us about privacy questions at contact@unethicalhoops.org.

Children

Unethical Hoops is intended for general browser gameplay and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review the request.
