BriarHaven

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

BriarHaven Social Casino values and respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding information collection, use, and protection as they relate to your use of our free entertainment platform. Transparency and user privacy are fundamental principles at BriarHaven.

2. Information We Collect

BriarHaven operates with minimal data collection aligned with our free-play nature:

Age Verification Status: When you confirm being 18 or older, we store a simple true/false flag in your browser's local storage. This contains no personal information and serves only to prevent repeated age verification prompts.

Automatic Technical Data: Our web servers automatically log standard technical information common to virtually all websites. This may include IP addresses, browser types, device information, operating system details, access timestamps, and pages viewed. Such logging is passive and occurs through normal web server operations.

No User Accounts: BriarHaven does not require registration or account creation. Therefore, we do not collect names, email addresses, telephone numbers, mailing addresses, or other personal identifiers.

3. How Information Is Used

The minimal information we handle serves specific legitimate purposes:

• Enforcing our 18+ age requirement through stored verification status
• Maintaining platform security and identifying potential abuse
• Analyzing aggregate usage trends to improve user experience
• Troubleshooting technical problems and optimizing performance
• Complying with applicable legal requirements

BriarHaven does not use collected information for advertising, marketing, user tracking, or commercial data sales. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade user data with third parties for their commercial benefit.

4. Browser Local Storage

BriarHaven uses browser local storage to remember your age verification. Key characteristics:

• Data resides on your device within your web browser
• Contains no personally identifiable information
• Is not transmitted to our servers
• Does not track behavior across other websites
• Can be cleared through your browser's privacy settings
• Persists only in the browser where verification occurred

We do not utilize tracking cookies or participate in cross-site tracking.

5. Third-Party Services

BriarHaven may employ third-party service providers for essential infrastructure such as web hosting and content delivery. These providers may access technical log data as necessary for service provision. We select providers committed to appropriate data protection standards.

Our site links to external responsible gaming organizations (GambleAware, GamCare, Gambling Therapy). These are independent entities with their own privacy policies. BriarHaven is not responsible for external sites' privacy practices or content.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information. However, given that BriarHaven operates without user accounts or sensitive personal data, inherent security risks are minimal compared to platforms handling financial information.

All game processing occurs locally in your browser. Gameplay data and virtual outcomes are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

7. Protection of Minors

BriarHaven is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18. If we discover that someone under 18 has accessed our platform or provided information, we will take immediate action to restrict access and delete any associated data.

8. Your Privacy Rights

You maintain control over your data at BriarHaven:

• Clear age verification by clearing browser local storage
• Use private browsing mode to prevent local storage
• Request information about server log data
• Discontinue platform use at any time

9. International Access

BriarHaven is accessible worldwide. If you access from outside the jurisdiction where our servers are located, your connection information may cross international borders. Using BriarHaven constitutes consent to such international data transfers.

10. No Financial Data

Because BriarHaven is entirely free with no real money transactions, we never collect:

• Credit or debit card information
• Banking details or account numbers
• Payment processor credentials
• Transaction history or financial data

This eliminates significant privacy risks associated with financial data handling.

11. Data Retention

Age verification data in browser local storage persists until you clear it or uninstall your browser. Technical server logs are retained only as long as necessary for security and operational purposes, with automatic deletion after appropriate retention periods.

12. Policy Updates

BriarHaven may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect evolving practices or legal requirements. The "Last Revised" date indicates the most recent update. We encourage periodic review to stay informed about our privacy practices.

13. Privacy Questions
