This policy describes what ThePickAU records when you visit, why it happens, and what you can ask of us. It is written to be read rather than to be complete in a legal sense.
Short version: there are no accounts here, we never ask for financial details — there is nothing to buy — and we do not sell information about you to anybody.
1. What this site is
ThePickAU (thepickau.com) is a directory of browser games hosted elsewhere. There are no user accounts, no profiles and no logins. Everything on the site is visible without identifying yourself in any way.
2. What gets recorded
We do not ask you for personal information and there is no form on the site that could collect it. Like almost every website, our server records ordinary technical request data:
- IP address of the request
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device type
- The page requested and the time of the request
- The referring page, when your browser sends one
3. What it is used for
- Keeping the site and its links working reliably
- Seeing which entries are actually opened, so the list can be trimmed
- Noticing errors and slow pages before they bother anybody else
- Spotting automated scraping and unwanted traffic
It is not used to build a profile of you, and it is not sold or shared for advertising.
4. Cookies
The pages on this site work without cookies of our own. If a cookie is set while you are here, it comes from an external service used to measure traffic, and you can block or delete it in your browser settings without breaking anything on the site.
5. Links to other websites
Every game on the list is hosted by somebody else. When you follow one of those links you leave ThePickAU and land on a site with its own privacy policy and its own cookies, which we neither control nor monitor. It is worth reading the policy of any site where you decide to create an account.
6. Email you send us
If you write to info@thepickau.com, we keep your message and address for as long as it takes to reply and for a reasonable period afterwards. We do not add the address to a mailing list.
7. Children
The games listed here are the sort found in most classrooms and family computers — chess, sudoku, solitaire. The site is not directed at young children specifically, and because we collect no personal information, we do not knowingly hold data about anybody, of any age.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. Since we hold no account data, such a request usually concerns server logs or an email exchange. Write to info@thepickau.com and we will deal with it.
9. Security
The site is served over HTTPS and kept up to date. No system is perfect, but as there is no personal data stored here, there is very little for anyone to take.
10. Changes to this policy
If the way the site works changes, this page changes with it. The version you are reading is the one in force.
