At Happiness Top Social Gaming ("we," "us," "our"), your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use happiness-top.com, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data. We've written this in plain language because we think everyone deserves to understand exactly how their information is handled.
1. What Information We Collect
We collect the absolute minimum information necessary to operate the platform. Our philosophy is simple: if we don't need it, we don't collect it.
Information You Provide to Us
When you use our contact form or newsletter sign-up, you voluntarily provide us with your name and email address. This information is only used to respond to your message or send you the newsletter you've subscribed to. We never share this information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit happiness-top.com, our web servers automatically collect standard server log data, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referral URL, and the pages you visit. This data is used for technical purposes — server management, security monitoring, and aggregate traffic analysis. Individual user sessions are not tracked for profiling purposes.
Local Storage
Our games use your browser's local storage to save high scores and game progress. This data never leaves your device — it is stored locally and we have no access to it. Clearing your browser's local storage will erase your saved scores.
Cookies
We use minimal session cookies necessary for the platform to function correctly. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies without your explicit consent. If we add advertising in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent accordingly.
2. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used only for the following purposes:
- Responding to contact form submissions and support requests
- Sending newsletters to subscribers who have given explicit consent
- Operating, maintaining, and improving the platform
- Monitoring server security and preventing abuse
- Analyzing aggregate traffic patterns (not individual user behavior)
- Complying with legal obligations where applicable
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Ever. This is a core commitment of ours and it will not change.
3. Data Retention
Contact form submissions and newsletter subscriptions are retained until you request deletion or withdraw consent. Server logs are retained for 90 days for security purposes and then automatically deleted. We do not retain data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
4. Third-Party Services
Our platform currently uses the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy:
Google Fonts — We load web fonts from Google's servers. When you visit our site, your browser makes a request to Google's servers to download fonts. Google may collect technical data from this request. We are working to fully self-host all fonts to eliminate this data sharing.
Web Hosting Provider — Our platform is hosted by a Canadian web hosting provider. Server logs are stored on their infrastructure in compliance with Canadian data protection laws.
5. Your Rights Under Canadian Privacy Law
As a Canadian resident, you have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy legislation. These rights include:
- Access: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate personal information we hold.
- Deletion: You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal obligations.
- Withdrawal of Consent: You may withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@happiness-top.com or through our contact page. We will respond within 30 days.
6. Children's Privacy
Happiness-top.com is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete that information.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and to be mindful of phishing attempts.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
