Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information bigcardgames.com (“Big Card Games”, “we”) handles when you visit or play. The short version: you don’t need an account, we don’t ask for personal information, and your game is stored only in your own browser.
Information stored on your device
To save your game, settings and statistics, the site uses your browser’s local storage. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us. It includes:
- the game in progress (cards and scores), so you can continue later;
- your settings, such as computer skill, speed and the four-color deck;
- your statistics, such as games played and won.
It also keeps your trophies, your sound and music settings and the large print and high contrast settings.
For offline play, the site also keeps copies of the pages and game files you open (and, if you choose “Save every game now”, of every game) in your browser’s cache storage, so they open without an internet connection. These copies are the same files anyone downloads from the site; nothing about you is in them and they are never sent anywhere.
You can delete all of this at any time by clearing your browser’s site data for bigcardgames.com, with “Reset statistics” in a game’s menu, or with “Reset trophies” on the trophies page.
Cookies
We do not currently set any cookies.
Information our hosting provider processes
The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web server, Cloudflare processes technical information needed to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write, and use it only to reply to you. We don’t add you to any mailing list.
Anonymous usage counts
To learn which games people enjoy and where the site can be better, we count anonymous events on our own server: a page was viewed, a game was started, won or lost, a trophy was won, sound, large print or high contrast was switched on or off, or every game was saved for offline play. Each count records only:
- the page and the game (for example “/cribbage/”, “won”, “standard level”) and a small number such as a final score;
- the name of the website that linked you here, if any (just the site, like “google.com”, never the full address);
- your country, as Cloudflare reports it, and whether you use a phone, tablet or computer;
- the date and time.
We do not record your IP address, set cookies, or use any identifier that could recognize you from one visit to the next, and we don’t use any third-party analytics service. If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, nothing is counted at all.
Advertising
We do not currently show ads. If we add them in the future, we will update this page first and describe what is collected and how to opt out.
Children
The site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Questions: hello@bigcardgames.com.
