1. Privacy Philosophy
ShineCryst prioritizes user privacy through minimal data collection and transparent practices. This Privacy Policy details our approach to information handling with complete transparency. We believe in collecting only what is essential for platform functionality.
2. Information We Collect
ShineCryst collects minimal information:
- Age Verification: We store age confirmation locally in your browser via localStorage, indicating verified 18+ status.
- Technical Data: Basic technical information such as browser type, device category, and access timestamps for platform functionality.
- Usage Analytics: Anonymous, aggregated data about platform usage to optimize performance and improve user experience.
3. Information Usage
Collected information serves specific purposes:
- Verifying age compliance with our 18+ requirement
- Ensuring platform functionality across devices
- Optimizing performance and user experience
- Maintaining security and preventing abuse
- Complying with legal obligations when required
We do NOT use your information for advertising, marketing, or third-party sales.
4. Local Storage
ShineCryst uses browser localStorage to save age verification status locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear localStorage through browser settings, requiring re-verification upon next visit.
5. No Tracking
We do not implement tracking mechanisms for behavioral profiling or targeted advertising. Your gaming activities are not monitored for marketing purposes. We respect your privacy rights completely.
6. Third-Party Links
ShineCryst includes links to responsible gambling resources. These are independent organizations with their own privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party privacy practices.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect limited data we process. However, no internet system can guarantee absolute security. We encourage secure network usage and updated browser software.
8. Children's Privacy
ShineCryst is designed for adults 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our age verification system prevents underage access. Upon discovering minor access, we immediately block further use and delete associated data.
9. No User Accounts
ShineCryst currently operates without user registration or accounts. This design minimizes data collection by eliminating need for names, emails, passwords, or other personally identifiable information. You can access our platform anonymously.
10. Data Retention
Since our primary storage method is browser-based localStorage on your device, you control data retention. Clearing your browser's localStorage removes all ShineCryst-related data. We do not retain personal information on servers beyond what's necessary for basic operation.
11. User Rights
Depending on location, you may have rights including:
- Right to know what data we collect
- Right to request data deletion
- Right to object to data processing
- Right to data portability
Given our minimal data collection, most rights are automatically satisfied. You maintain full control over locally stored data through browser settings.
12. International Access
ShineCryst is accessible globally. Our minimal data collection approach simplifies international compliance. Since most data is stored locally on your device, cross-border data transfer concerns are minimized.
13. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect practice changes or legal requirements. Updates will be posted with a revised effective date. Significant changes will be communicated prominently. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance.
14. Contact
For privacy-related questions or concerns, please review our other legal documents or contact us through appropriate channels. We address privacy inquiries promptly.
15. Consent
By using ShineCryst, you consent to this Privacy Policy and our minimal data collection practices. If you disagree with any aspect, please discontinue platform use immediately.
