Privacy Policy

Introduction to Our Privacy Practices

Welcome to Auroriax's Privacy Policy. We are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we handle your information. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information.

Auroriax operates as a free social casino platform designed purely for entertainment. Our approach to privacy reflects our core values: simplicity, transparency, and respect for your personal space. We believe in collecting only what's necessary and being upfront about our practices.

Information We Collect

Unlike many online platforms, Auroriax collects minimal personal information. Here's what we gather and why:

Age Verification Data

When you first visit Auroriax, we ask you to confirm that you're 18 years or older. This verification status is stored locally in your browser using localStorage or session cookies. We do not collect, transmit, or store this information on our servers. The verification exists solely on your device to remember your confirmation during subsequent visits.

Technical Information

Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical information when you access our platform:

• Browser type and version (e.g., Chrome 118, Firefox 119)
• Device type and operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS, Android, iOS)
• Screen resolution and viewport size for optimal game display
• General location data (country/region level only, derived from IP address)
• Pages visited and time spent on the Platform
• Referral source (how you found our site)

This technical data helps us optimize game performance, ensure compatibility across devices, and improve the overall user experience. None of this information identifies you personally.

Game Interaction Data

When you play games on Auroriax, certain gameplay information may be stored locally in your browser:

• Game preferences and settings
• Virtual currency balances (which have no real-world value)
• Game progress and achievements

This data is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage and is not transmitted to our servers. It exists purely to enhance your gaming experience by remembering your preferences between sessions.

How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect serves specific, legitimate purposes:

Platform Operation and Improvement

We use technical information to ensure Auroriax functions properly across different browsers and devices. This includes identifying compatibility issues, optimizing load times, and enhancing game performance. By understanding how users interact with our platform, we can make informed decisions about improvements and new features.

Security and Compliance

Age verification data helps us comply with legal requirements by restricting access to adults only. Technical information assists in identifying and preventing potential security threats, abuse, or unauthorized access attempts.

Analytics and Statistics

We may analyze aggregated, anonymous data to understand overall platform usage patterns. This helps us identify which games are most popular, peak usage times, and general trends. All analytics are conducted on anonymized data that cannot be traced back to individual users.

Cookies and Local Storage

Auroriax uses minimal cookies and browser storage technologies to enhance your experience:

Essential Cookies

We use a single essential cookie or localStorage item to remember your age verification status. This prevents the age verification popup from appearing every time you visit. This is not a tracking cookie and contains no personally identifiable information.

Game Storage

Our games may use localStorage to save your game progress, preferences, and virtual currency balances. This data stays entirely within your browser and is never sent to external servers.

Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. However, note that removing the age verification cookie will cause the verification popup to appear again on your next visit. Clearing game localStorage will reset your game progress and preferences.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

Auroriax takes a strong stance on data privacy: we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Period.

No Advertising or Tracking

Our platform does not integrate third-party advertising networks or tracking systems. We do not use analytics services that track you across multiple websites. Your activity on Auroriax stays on Auroriax.

External Links

Our website includes links to responsible gambling organizations (GambleAware.org, GamCare.org.uk, and GamblingTherapy.org). When you click these links, you leave Auroriax and enter external websites with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies, as we have no control over their practices.

Legal Obligations

The only circumstance under which we might share information is if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation. Even in such cases, we would only disclose the minimum information necessary to comply with the legal requirement.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the limited data we collect. Since most data remains on your device through localStorage and cookies, your browser's built-in security features provide the primary protection.

For data that does reach our servers (primarily technical logs), we use industry-standard security practices including secure connections (HTTPS), regular security assessments, and restricted access controls.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

You maintain control over your data when using Auroriax:

• Access: Since most data is stored locally in your browser, you can access it through your browser's developer tools or storage management features.
• Deletion: You can delete all Auroriax data from your device by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage for our site.
• Opt-Out: You can stop using Auroriax at any time, and your local data will remain on your device until you choose to delete it.
• Browser Controls: Your browser provides settings to control cookies, local storage, and other web technologies. Consult your browser's help documentation for details.

Children's Privacy

Auroriax is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18. Our age verification system is designed to prevent underage access.

If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed our platform, we will take immediate steps to restrict access. Parents and guardians should monitor their children's internet usage and ensure they do not access age-restricted platforms like Auroriax.

International Users

Auroriax is accessible worldwide, but please be aware that different countries have different privacy laws. By using our platform, you acknowledge that information may be processed in locations with privacy protections that differ from those in your country of residence.

Regardless of your location, we apply the same privacy principles outlined in this policy to all users globally.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of Auroriax after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

Summary: Our Privacy Promise

• We collect minimal data - only what's necessary for the platform to function
