Privacy Policy

Effective: October 2025

Introduction

At Watervorn, privacy isn't just a policy—it's a fundamental design principle. We've built our platform to minimize data collection because we believe that entertainment doesn't require surveillance. This privacy policy explains our approach in detail.

The Data We Collect

Watervorn collects minimal data, and what little we do collect stays on your device. Specifically, we use browser local storage to save one piece of information: your age verification confirmation. This prevents the age gate from appearing on every visit while ensuring we maintain appropriate access restrictions.

This age verification data is stored locally in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. It exists solely on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

During your browsing session, temporary session data may be created by your browser to enable proper functionality of our games and interface. This session data is automatically deleted when you close your browser.

What We Don't Collect

Watervorn does not require or collect personal information. We don't ask for your name, email address, phone number, physical address, or any other personally identifiable information. Since we don't offer accounts or registration, there's no personal data to collect or store.

We don't use tracking cookies that follow you across the internet. We don't employ analytics platforms that monitor your behavior. We don't log individual IP addresses for marketing or profiling purposes. We don't create user profiles or advertising identifiers. We don't integrate with social media platforms in ways that would enable cross-site tracking.

Our Privacy Philosophy

Many websites collect vast amounts of data about their users, often far more than necessary to provide their service. We've taken the opposite approach. Watervorn is designed to function with almost no data collection because we genuinely don't need it.

Our platform has no account system, no user-generated content, no social features, no purchase system, and no advertising network. Without these elements, there's simply no legitimate reason to collect and store user data. This minimalist approach benefits everyone—you maintain your privacy, and we avoid the responsibility and liability of managing sensitive information.

Third-Party Links

Watervorn provides links to external organizations that offer support for gambling-related issues. These links lead to websites operated by independent organizations with their own privacy policies and practices. When you click these links, you leave Watervorn and enter their domains. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the privacy practices of these external websites.

Data Security

Since we don't collect personal data, there's no centralized database of personal information that could be compromised in a data breach. The only data associated with your use of Watervorn—your age verification status—is stored locally on your device and protected by your browser's security mechanisms and your device's security measures.

We implement standard security practices for our web infrastructure, but the most significant security feature is our minimal data collection approach. You can't lose data that was never collected in the first place.

Your Privacy Controls

You have complete control over the minimal data associated with your use of Watervorn. To reset your age verification status, simply clear your browser's local storage or site data through your browser settings. Most browsers offer this functionality in their privacy or settings menus.

If you prefer not to have your age verification remembered, you can use your browser's private or incognito mode. This prevents any local storage from persisting after you close the browser window, though you'll need to verify your age each time you visit.

Children's Privacy

Watervorn is restricted to users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under 18 years of age. In fact, we don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone. Our age verification system exists to prevent minors from accessing casino-style gaming content, even in a free-play format.

International Users

Watervorn can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Since we don't collect or transmit personal data, there are no international data transfer concerns. All data storage occurs locally on your own device, regardless of your geographic location.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include "Do Not Track" signals that request websites not to track your browsing activity. Since Watervorn doesn't employ tracking mechanisms in the first place, this signal is somewhat moot. We respect your privacy regardless of your browser settings.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes may be announced through notices on our platform.

Given our minimalist approach to data collection, substantial changes to this policy are unlikely. However, we reserve the right to modify our practices if necessary.

Legal Disclosures

In the unlikely event that we're legally required to disclose information about Watervorn users, we would have very little to provide. We can't share data we don't collect or retain. Our minimal data collection approach protects both your privacy and our ability to respond to legal requests.

Questions and Concerns

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, we encourage you to read this document thoroughly. We've attempted to write it in clear, accessible language that accurately describes our approach.

The fundamental message is simple: Watervorn collects almost no data, tracks nothing, and shares nothing. We've built a social casino platform that respects your privacy by design.
