Privacy Policy
Cave Carp (“we”, “us”) operates the free browser game at cavecarp.com. This policy explains what information the site uses and why. We try to keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the game and its leaderboard.
Information you provide
When you submit a score to the leaderboard, you choose a display name. That name and your score are stored so the leaderboard can be shown to other players. You are not required to enter your real name, and we do not ask for an email address, account, or any other personal detail to play.
Data stored in your browser
The game saves a few values locally in your browser’s storage on your own device — your personal best, your language preference, and whether music is on or off. This information stays on your device, is not sent to us, and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser data.
Cookies and advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads, which helps keep the game free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, we present a consent choice before personalised advertising cookies are set, in line with Google’s EU user consent requirements.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic (for example, how many people played on a given day). This data is aggregated and is not used to identify individual visitors.
Children
Cave Carp is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
You can decline or clear cookies through your browser settings, opt out of personalised ads using the links above, and clear locally stored game data at any time. Disabling cookies will not stop you from playing the game.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above.
