Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Billion Dollar Slots ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website and game (the "Service").

We respect your privacy and are committed to handling your personal data responsibly. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

• Email address — when you create an account or contact support
• Password — stored as a secure hash, never in plain text

Information collected automatically

• Game progress — your balance, owned items, equipped gear, stages unlocked, etc.
• Technical data — browser type, device type, IP address, operating system
• Usage data — pages visited, time spent, features used, errors encountered

Information from third parties

• Payment information — when you make a purchase, our payment processor Paddle.com collects your billing details. We receive only a confirmation of payment and last 4 digits of the card. We never see or store full payment card numbers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain the Service

• Improve the Service through analytics
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or violations of our Terms
• Comply with legal obligations
• Respond to your support requests

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for advertising profiles.

4. When We Share Information

We share limited information with third parties only as needed to operate the Service:

• Supabase — our database and authentication provider stores your account and game data securely. Supabase Privacy Policy
• Paddle.com — our payment processor handles all purchase transactions and tax compliance. Paddle Privacy Policy
• Netlify — our hosting provider serves the website and game files. Netlify Privacy Policy
• Email service providers — used to send transactional emails (password resets, purchase receipts)

We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

5. Where Information is Stored

Your information is stored on servers operated by our service providers. These servers may be located in the United States, the European Union, or other regions. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations.

We rely on standard contractual protections and the security measures of our providers to keep your data safe.

6. Cookies & Tracking

We use the following technologies to keep the Service functional:

• Local storage — to save your guest progress and remember your login
• Session storage — temporary data that is cleared when you close the tab
• Authentication tokens — small cookies/storage entries that keep you logged in across visits

We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. We may use first-party analytics to understand how the game is being used (e.g., what features are popular). Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated.

You may disable cookies in your browser, but doing so may prevent the Service from working correctly.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Correction — request corrections to inaccurate data
• Deletion — request that we delete your account and data
• Portability — request a copy of your data in a portable format
• Restriction — request that we limit how we process your data
• Objection — object to certain processing activities
• Withdraw consent — where we rely on your consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@billiondollarslots.com. We will respond within 30 days.

California residents (CCPA): You also have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and the right to opt out of any "sale" of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

EU/UK residents (GDPR): Our legal bases for processing your data include performance of a contract (running the Service), legitimate interests (security, analytics), legal obligation (tax compliance), and your consent (for optional features).

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under 17 years of age. If you believe a child under 17 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete the account.

9. Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

• HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
• Encrypted database storage
• Hashed and salted passwords (we never store plain-text passwords)
• Access controls limiting who within our team can see user data

However, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential.

10. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account or are inactive for more than 24 months, we will delete your personal information, except where we are required to retain certain records (e.g., financial records for tax compliance, which we keep for the legally required period).

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy with a new "Last updated" date and, for material changes, notify you by email or in-game notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
