Privacy Policy

PlayCore Labs ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website and the browser-based games available on it, including our currently available release, Ottogator Catch. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site or play our games, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Our games are designed to be played directly in your browser. There is nothing to install, and you do not need to create an account to play.

Information We Collect

When you visit our site or play our games, we may automatically collect a limited amount of technical and usage information, including:

• Device and browser information — such as device type, operating system, browser version, and screen size.
• Usage data — pages or games viewed, interactions, session duration, and basic gameplay events.
• Approximate location — derived from your IP address (typically at the city or region level), used to understand where our players come from.

We do not directly collect personal information such as your name, phone number, or payment details. We collect an email address only when you choose to provide one — for example, by emailing us directly, or by typing one into the optional "Email for a reply" field on our feedback form.

Analytics & Your Choice

Certain games, including Ottogator Catch, offer an in-game Analytics On/Off choice. On first launch, the game asks whether you would like to enable usage analytics. You can change this decision at any time from the in-game Menu or from the home screen.

If you do not enable analytics in those games, analytics is not initialized and analytics events are not collected from your session. If you do enable it, the game uses Firebase Analytics (described below) to record gameplay events and aggregate usage information.

Other parts of this website may use analytics for general traffic measurement. Where applicable, your in-game opt-in choice controls collection for that game's session.

Feedback Submissions

If you choose to send us feedback through the feedback form, we may receive:

• the topic you selected (the specific game or "General Feedback");
• the written feedback message you submitted;
• an email address, only if you chose to enter one in the optional reply field;
• your selection on the optional "Email me about updates" checkbox;
• technical metadata about the submission (the time it was submitted and basic request information such as the page you submitted from and your browser's user-agent string), used to operate the form and prevent abuse.

We use this information to:

• review your feedback and improve our games;
• respond to you about your feedback, but only if you provided an email address;
• send you product or update communications only if you separately checked the optional "Email me about updates" box.

Providing an email address for a reply does not, by itself, sign you up for any future communications. You must check the separate "Email me about updates" checkbox to indicate that consent.

We do not currently operate a formal mailing-list management system. If you opt in to updates, we may contact you from time to time about Ottogator Catch updates and future PlayCore Labs releases. You can ask us to stop sending these communications at any time by emailing contact@playcorelabs.com, and we will honor that request.

When you submit the feedback form, the submission is sent to us through a third-party form-handling service (see "Service Providers" below), which relays the contents to our company mailbox at contact@playcorelabs.com. The information you typed into the form is passed through to us; we then store the feedback email in our mailbox.

Third-Party Services

We use Firebase Analytics, a service provided by Google, to help us understand site traffic and gameplay patterns when you have enabled analytics in a game that offers the choice. Firebase Analytics may collect device identifiers, usage data, approximate location, and event data. This processing is carried out on our behalf, in accordance with Google's privacy policies.

You can review Google's privacy practices on the Google Privacy & Terms page.

Service Providers

Feedback submissions on our feedback page are handled by Web3Forms, a third-party form-relay service. The form posts your submission directly from your browser to Web3Forms, which then forwards the contents to our company mailbox at contact@playcorelabs.com. The data passed to Web3Forms is what you typed into the form (topic, message, optional email, optional updates choice) plus basic technical metadata (the page URL you submitted from and your browser's user-agent string) used to operate the form and prevent abuse.

You can review Web3Forms's privacy practices on the Web3Forms Privacy Policy page.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained only for as long as it is useful for the purposes described above, and in accordance with the retention settings provided by our analytics provider. Aggregated or anonymized data may be retained for longer periods to track trends over time.

Feedback submissions, including the optional reply email and your optional "Email me about updates" choice, are retained as reasonably necessary to review feedback, respond where you requested a reply, and honor your stated communication preference. You may ask us to delete feedback you have sent us, or to remove you from update communications, by emailing contact@playcorelabs.com.

Children's Privacy

Our games are intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

If you are under 13, please do not submit personal information through our feedback form. Ask a parent or guardian to contact us at contact@playcorelabs.com instead.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be reflected on the site, and we encourage you to review this page periodically.
