We are The Freak Circus, a free online gaming portal available at https://freakcircus.io/ (the "Website"). We offer a browser-based platform where you can discover and play web games instantly, with no installation and no account required (the "Platform").
The Freak Circus is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is and is not collected when you use the Website, how cookies are used, and the choices you have.
The Freak Circus does not collect, store, or sell any personal information from its users.
You do not need to register, log in, or provide a name, email address, or any other personal details to play games on the Platform. We do not operate accounts, newsletters, forums, or comment systems that would require you to submit personal data.
The only time we receive personal information is if you choose to contact us by email (for example, with a question, a game submission, or a copyright request). In that case we use your email address and the contents of your message solely to respond to you, and we do not share it with anyone else.
Cookies are small text files that are saved on your computer or device when you visit a website. They contain information linked to your browser and the specific website. When you return to that website, it can recognize your browser by means of the cookie. A web beacon is a small (often transparent) image, usually no larger than 1 pixel, placed on a web page to measure how the page is used.
Cookies are commonly used to make websites easier to use, to measure traffic, and to show advertising. The sections below explain which cookies are used on the Website and by whom.
First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting. They handle technical functions such as remembering a setting or keeping a page working correctly.
Third-party cookies are set by a party other than the website you are visiting, for example an analytics provider, an advertising network, or an embedded game. These parties set and read their own cookies under their own privacy policies.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the Website to function do not require your consent. All other cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, are subject to the choices described in Section 8.
The Freak Circus uses a minimal number of first-party cookies, limited to technical purposes such as remembering a game setting or sound preference. These cookies do not contain personal information and are not used for tracking.
The Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous, aggregated statistics about how visitors use the Website, such as which pages and games are popular, how long visitors stay, and the general region and device type of visitors. This helps us understand traffic and improve the Website. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors. Google's privacy practices are described at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by installing the browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
The Freak Circus is free to use and is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to display ads on the Website. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads, to measure their performance, and, depending on your settings, to show ads based on your interests and your visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies is described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads, and how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can manage personalized advertising from Google at https://adssettings.google.com/.
Many games on the Platform are embedded from third-party developers and game distributors. When you play an embedded game, the game runs in the environment of that third party, and the third party may set cookies or collect data (for example to save your progress, display in-game ads, or measure usage). We have no control over how these third parties process data. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of the relevant game developer or distributor before playing, where one is available.
The Website may also include links to other websites, such as developers' pages, app stores, or social media. Those websites are governed by their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.
Cookies and similar technologies on the Website are used only to:
As a free, ad-supported platform, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating, measuring, and funding the Website through advertising. Where the law in your region requires consent for non-essential cookies, those cookies are used only with your consent, which you can give or withdraw as described in Section 8.
Browser settings. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Modern browsers allow you to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that blocking cookies may prevent some games or features from working properly. For more information, visit https://allaboutcookies.org.
Google ad settings. You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google at https://adssettings.google.com/. You will still see ads on the Website, but they will not be based on your interests.
Industry opt-outs. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many networks at https://optout.aboutads.info/ (Digital Advertising Alliance) or https://optout.networkadvertising.org/ (Network Advertising Initiative). If you clear your browser's cookies, you may need to set these preferences again.
Consent banner. Where required by law, a consent banner is shown on your first visit allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie or privacy link in the Website footer.
The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of thirteen (13). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and because we do not collect personal information at all, no such data is stored by us. Advertising on the Website is configured through Google AdSense, which applies its own policies for child-directed content. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us by email, please contact us and we will delete it.
Most of our visitors are located in the United States. We do not sell personal information, and we do not collect the kind of personal data that would give rise to data access, deletion, or portability requests under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Third-party services used on the Website, such as Google, provide their own tools for exercising privacy rights, linked in Sections 5 and 8. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with data protection laws, the same principles apply: we do not process personal data ourselves, and third-party processing is governed by the third parties' policies and your consent choices.
Because The Freak Circus does not collect or store personal information, there is no personal data held by us that could be lost or compromised. Any email correspondence you send us is kept only as long as needed to respond to you.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add new services or if the law changes. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. The most recent version will always be available on the Website.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or about cookies on the Website, please email us at [email protected] or visit our Contact page.
