Privacy Policy

Last updated By

BoardGameMovie.com collects very little about you. Here’s what the site stores in your browser, what our servers record, how we handle emails, and how to ask about your data.

No ads, no tracking cookies, and just one small setting stored in your browser.

Long privacy policies often reflect how much a site collects. We collect very little, so this one is shorter. Start with the summary, then check the sections below for details. Write to us if anything is unclear.

The short version

Four points sum up the basics.

If you write to us, we use your email only to reply.

No ads or data sales. The site has no advertising, and we don’t sell or share personal data for advertising.

No cookies of our own. Our pages don’t set cookies. One optional setting stays in your browser’s local storage, as explained below.

Standard server records only. Our web server keeps ordinary access logs for security and troubleshooting. We don’t use them to profile visitors.

We use email to reply. If you write to us, we use your message and email address only to reply.

Who handles your data

Most visitors first want to know what a site stores on their device. The answer here is short, and you can check it in your browser’s developer tools or storage settings.

Cookies and browser storage

What the site stores on your device.

No cookies of our own

BoardGameMovie.com pages don’t set their own cookies. There are no login accounts, personal-detail forms, or advertising scripts.

One setting is saved

The page may show a small Game night helper. Hide it, and your browser saves that choice in local storage as bgm-helper-off. The helper stays hidden on your next visit.

That setting stays on your device

The setting stays on your device and is never sent to us. Clear the site’s data in your browser to remove it. The site works the same without it.

Search and the game matcher run on your device

The search box and game matcher download a small data file, then filter it in your browser. What you type or select isn’t sent to us.

A website visit always leaves some trace on the servers that deliver the site. Here’s what gets recorded, who keeps it, and why.

Analytics, Cloudflare and server logs

What services behind the site can see

Cloudflare sits between you and the site

Cloudflare delivers the site and provides security. To serve pages and block abuse, it processes your IP address and request details. Cloudflare explains its practices in its privacy policy.

Page-view counts without cookies

Cloudflare also offers an optional service called Cloudflare Web Analytics. If it’s turned on for this site, your browser loads a small script from static.cloudflareinsights.com to count page views and page-load timing. Cloudflare says the service uses no cookies or local storage and doesn’t fingerprint visitors.

How Cloudflare Web Analytics collects data developers.cloudflare.com

No other analytics

Our pages load no other analytics, advertising, or social media scripts.

Standard server logs

Our web server keeps standard access logs. Each entry typically includes your IP address, browser user agent, requested page, referring page, and the time. We use these logs for security and troubleshooting, and keep them for a limited period.

Emails you send us

How we handle your messages

Emails sent to info@boardgamemovie.com go to the owner’s inbox. We use your address and message only to reply. We don’t add you to a list or share your message with anyone else.

Links, children and other details

Links to other sites

Our pages link to publishers, reference works, and news outlets. Those sites have their own privacy policies. We’re not responsible for how they handle data.

Children

The site covers games for children, but it’s written for parents and other adults. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information. If you think a child has sent us personal details, email us and we’ll delete them.

We don’t sell personal data

We don’t sell personal data or share it with third parties for advertising or profile-building.

You have a say in how information about you is used. This section explains how to exercise your rights and how we announce policy changes.

If you write to us, we use your email only to reply.

Your rights and policy updates

Your rights

You can ask what personal information we hold about you, request a correction or deletion, or object to how we use it. Since we collect so little, this usually means emails you’ve sent us. Residents of the EU, the UK, California, and some other places have specific rights under local laws. We’ll honor requests under those laws where they apply.

How to make a request

Email info@boardgamemovie.com and tell us what you’d like us to do. We may ask you to confirm the request came from the address you wrote from.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page shows when the current version was published.
