Privacy Policy
We believe privacy is a right, not a feature. Here's exactly what we do — and don't — collect.
1. Data Controller
The data controller responsible for minibraingames.com is:
MBF Network
Str. Voinicenilor nr. 163, Târgu Mureș, Romania
Email: contact@minibraingames.com
Web: www.mbf-network.ro
This Privacy Policy applies to the website minibraingames.com and is compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Romanian data protection law.
2. What Data We Collect
MiniBrainGames does not require registration and does not collect your name, email address, or any other directly identifying information.
Data we collect directly: none beyond what is stored locally on your device (see Section 3).
Data collected by third-party services (only when consent is given — see Section 4): when analytics or advertising scripts are active, the following categories of technical data may be processed by those services on our behalf:
• IP address — used to determine approximate geographic region (country/city level); anonymised before storage in analytics reports.
• Browser and device type — browser name, version, operating system, and screen resolution.
• Usage data — pages visited, time spent on each page, referring website, and in-game actions (e.g. game started, difficulty selected).
• Advertising identifiers — pseudonymous identifiers used by advertising networks to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance.
None of this data is used to identify you personally. It is processed in aggregate form for the purposes described in Section 4.
3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device
MiniBrainGames uses your browser's local storage and cookies solely to improve your experience on the site. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
The following is stored locally:
Theme preference — a cookie named site_theme that stores whether you have chosen the light or dark colour scheme. This expires in one year.
Game best times — browser localStorage entries (e.g. sudoku_bests, ms_bests) that record your fastest completion times per difficulty level. This data has no expiry and persists until you clear your browser storage.
You can clear this data at any time through your browser's settings (typically under "Clear browsing data" or "Site data").
4. Third-Party Services
4.1 Google Fonts (always active)
We load the Nunito typeface from Google's font delivery network (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser requests these files, Google may process your IP address. This is covered by Google's Privacy Policy. No consent is required because no cookies are set by this request.
4.2 Google Analytics (only with consent)
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website — which games are played most, how long sessions last, and what devices and countries our visitors come from. Google Analytics processes anonymised usage data and sets cookies on your device (see the Cookie Policy for details). IP addresses are anonymised (anonymizeIp enabled) before being stored. Data is processed by Google LLC in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. Google Analytics is only loaded after you accept analytics cookies via our cookie consent banner. You may opt out at any time by withdrawing consent or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4.3 Advertising Networks (only with consent)
To support the free operation of MiniBrainGames, we may display ads served by third-party advertising networks, which may include Google AdSense or similar platforms. These services may set cookies on your device to show ads based on your browsing history and interests (interest-based advertising). Advertising scripts are loaded only after you accept advertising cookies via our cookie consent banner. You can opt out of interest-based advertising at any time through the Your Online Choices platform (EU) or AboutAds (US).
Legal basis: Processing by analytics and advertising services relies on your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), which you provide through our cookie consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer.
5. Your Rights Under GDPR
As a resident of the European Union or European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
Right of access — You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification — You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure — You can ask us to delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
Right to restriction — You can ask us to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances.
Right to data portability — You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to object — You can object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to lodge a complaint — You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Romanian supervisory authority, the Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal (ANSPDCP).
To exercise any of these rights, or if you have any privacy concern, please contact us at contact@minibraingames.com. We will respond within 30 days. For data processed by Google Analytics or advertising networks, you may also contact those providers directly through their respective privacy portals.
6. Children's Privacy
MiniBrainGames does not knowingly collect any data from children under the age of 16. The website does not require registration and collects no personal information from any user, regardless of age. Parents and guardians who have concerns are welcome to contact us.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce new features or third-party services. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
