Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Melting-Mindz ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website, games, and forum (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Account information you provide when registering on the forum (username, email address, password — passwords are stored hashed, never in plain text).
  • Gameplay data generated through your use of the Service (scores, favorites, votes, comments, badges, premium status).
  • Technical data automatically collected by our servers and third-party services (IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URL, timestamps).
  • Cookies and similar technologies as described below.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate the Service, including authentication, gameplay features, and the forum.
  • To display and personalize advertising (for non-premium users).
  • To analyze site usage and improve our games and features.
  • To respond to support requests and enforce our Terms.
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party partners use cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies to:

  • Keep you logged in and remember your preferences (theme, premium status).
  • Measure site traffic and game usage (Google Analytics).
  • Serve and personalize advertisements to non-premium users (Mediavine and its advertising partners).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. EU/EEA, UK, and California users will see a consent banner managed through our advertising partner's Consent Management Platform (CMP), where you can review and adjust your preferences at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

  • Google Analytics — traffic analysis.
  • Mediavine — advertising and consent management (non-premium users). Mediavine and its advertising partners may collect and process data for ad delivery, measurement, and personalization. See Mediavine's Privacy Policy.
  • Simple Machines Forum (SMF) — community and login system.

Advertising partners may use cookies and identifiers to build interest profiles and serve relevant ads across sites. You can opt out of interest-based advertising at aboutads.info (US) and youronlinechoices.eu (EU).

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

5. Your Privacy Rights

EU/EEA and UK users (GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to object to processing. You may withdraw consent for advertising and analytics at any time through our CMP banner. Our legal bases for processing are: consent (advertising/analytics), contract (account features), and legitimate interest (security and abuse prevention).

California users (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. To opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising, use the CMP banner or follow the opt-out links above.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the forum.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under those ages. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

7. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active. Forum posts and gameplay records may be retained indefinitely as part of the public community history unless you request deletion. Server logs are typically retained for 90 days. You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us through the forum.

8. Data Security

All connections to the Service use HTTPS. Passwords are hashed by the forum software. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no system is completely secure.

9. International Transfers

The Service is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the US, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the US or other countries.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated through the site or forum.

11. Contact
