Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 9, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information TopWebBrowserGames ("we", "us", the "Site") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. The Site is operated by Alex Meenehan. By using the Site you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account data: if you create an account, your email address and a password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider).
- Listings and content: games you submit, descriptions, links, images, reviews, and any messages you send us.
- Payments: if you buy advertising or a Gold listing, payment is processed by PayPal. We receive a transaction record (such as an order ID and status) but we do not receive or store your full card number.
Information collected automatically
- Voting and usage data: the games you vote for and basic technical signals used to prevent duplicate and automated voting.
- Device and log data: IP address, browser type, and pages viewed, used to operate, secure, and improve the Site.
- Cookies and local storage: used to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and detect vote abuse. See "Cookies" below.
How we use your information
- To operate the Site — accounts, listings, voting, and the weekly charts.
- To process advertising and Gold-listing purchases and provide support.
- To keep rankings honest by detecting and filtering manipulated votes.
- To communicate with you about your account, listings, or purchases, and — only if you opt in — to send weekly stats about your games.
- To comply with the law and enforce our Terms of Service.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers who run the Site for us — our hosting and database/authentication provider (Supabase) and our payment processor (PayPal) — and only as needed to provide their service.
- The public, where you choose to make it public: game listings, reviews, and public profile details you submit are visible to other users.
- Authorities, where required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users or the Site.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar browser storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and protect the integrity of voting. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but some features (such as staying signed in or voting) may not work.
Data retention
We keep account and listing data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Site. You can ask us to delete your account and associated personal data at any time (see "Your rights"). We may retain limited records where we are required to for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention reasons.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email admin@topwebbrowsergames.com and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, and rely on established providers for hosting, authentication, and payments. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International users
The Site is operated from the United States and your data may be processed there and in other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Site you consent to this transfer.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to notify you.
