Privacy Policy

Privacy policy: how Kids Play Board Games collects and uses data, including analytics, affiliate links, and your rights under the GDPR.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Kids Play Board Games (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at https://www.kidsplayboardgames.com (the “site”). By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

We run a board game blog for families in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. This policy covers how we handle the small amount of data involved in running it, and it respects the privacy laws that apply in each of those regions.

2. What we collect

We do not require an account and we do not ask for personal information to read our reviews, guides, or comparisons. You can browse the entire site without logging in or providing your name or email.

We may receive anonymous usage information such as page views through a privacy friendly analytics service. This service does not identify individual visitors and does not use cookies.

If you email us, we receive the email address and message you send, and we keep that correspondence only long enough to respond to your question or request.

3. How we use your data

We use the limited data we receive to understand how the site is used, improve our content, and operate the site. We do not sell personal information. We do not maintain user accounts and we do not store personal data on our own servers beyond the email correspondence described above.

4. Analytics and advertising

We use a privacy friendly analytics service that counts page views without cookies and without identifying individual visitors. We do not currently run advertising scripts or set advertising cookies.

The site also earns money through affiliate links, including the Amazon Associates program. When you follow an affiliate link and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The retailer, not us, handles the purchase and any cookies it sets on its own site. For more detail, see our Amazon Affiliate Disclosure and Cookie Policy.

5. Your choices

You do not need to accept anything to read the site. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Because we do not run advertising cookies, there is no advertising profile to opt out of.

6. Your rights under the GDPR

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we process about you.
  • Request rectification of inaccurate data.
  • Request erasure of your data.
  • Restrict or object to processing.
  • Data portability.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@kidsplayboardgames.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country.

7. Data retention

We do not store personal data on our own servers beyond the email correspondence described above. Analytics data is retained by the analytics provider per its own schedule.

8. Children’s privacy

Our content is written for parents and families, and it is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13 (or the age of consent in your country). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at hello@kidsplayboardgames.com and we will delete it.

9. Third party links

Our site contains links to third party websites, including board game publishers, retailers, and Amazon. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their policies before you provide them with any information.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add a new feature or change our analytics or affiliate partners. The current version is always available on this page, and the date above reflects when it was last updated.
