Privacy Policy
Overview
Gobli Games is a free online HTML5 games portal owned and operated by Gaurav Goyal. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any data we encounter with care, transparency, and respect.
This policy applies to all visitors of https://gobligames.com and covers all pages including the homepage, game pages, category pages, and the contact page. It does not apply to third-party websites linked from our platform.
Data We Collect
We collect two types of data — data you give us voluntarily, and data collected automatically when you use the site.
| Data Type | What It Is | How Collected | Identifiable? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page views | Which pages and games you visit | Google Analytics | No |
| Session data | Time spent, pages per session, bounce rate | Google Analytics | No |
| Device & browser | Browser type, OS, screen size | Google Analytics | No |
| Approximate location | Country and city (not precise GPS) | Google Analytics via IP | Partial |
| Game progress | Level saves, scores | Browser local storage | No |
| Contact details | Name, email, message (if you contact us) | Voluntarily via email / WhatsApp | Yes |
We do not collect passwords, payment card details, social media credentials, or any sensitive personal information through the website itself.
How We Collect It
Data is collected through the following means:
- Google Analytics (GA4) — automatically tracks page views, session duration, device type, and approximate location when you visit the site. This uses cookies placed by Google.
- Browser Local Storage — some games save your progress (scores, levels reached) locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.
- Direct contact — if you reach out via email, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or Upwork, you voluntarily share your contact details with us. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry.
- Server logs — like all web servers, ours may record your IP address, browser type, and the time of your visit in standard server access logs. These logs are used for security and performance monitoring only.
How We Use Data
We use the data we collect for the following purposes only:
- To understand which games are most popular and improve the site accordingly
- To monitor site performance, loading times, and technical errors
- To understand our audience (device types, countries) so we can optimise the experience
- To respond to enquiries you send us via email, WhatsApp, or other direct contact methods
- To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats
- To comply with legal obligations if required by law
Cookies & Tracking
Gobli Games uses cookies placed by Google Analytics to track anonymous usage data. These cookies do not identify you personally.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique users | 2 years |
| _ga_XXXXXXXX | Google Analytics | Maintains session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users (short-term) | 24 hours |
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, retargeting cookies, or any cookies from social media platforms.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or clear cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how some games save progress in local storage.
You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Third-Party Services
Gobli Games integrates the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy that governs how they handle data:
- Google Analytics (GA4) — anonymous traffic tracking. Google Privacy Policy
- Google Fonts — fonts loaded from Google's servers (your IP may be logged by Google). Google Privacy Policy
- WhatsApp / Meta — if you choose to contact us via WhatsApp, Meta's privacy policy applies. WhatsApp Privacy Policy
- LinkedIn — if you visit our LinkedIn profile via the contact page, LinkedIn's policy applies. LinkedIn Privacy Policy
- Upwork — if you contact us via Upwork, Upwork's privacy policy applies. Upwork Privacy Policy
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party service. We encourage you to review their respective policies before using those platforms.
Data Storage & Security
Gobli Games does not operate its own database of user data. The only data stored on our server is standard web server access logs, which are automatically deleted on a rolling basis and are never shared externally.
Game progress data is stored in your browser's local storage — it exists only on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third party. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.
Analytics data is stored and processed by Google on their secure infrastructure. We access only aggregated, anonymised reports and have no access to individual user records.
Children's Privacy
Gobli Games is designed to be family-friendly. However, the site is not directed at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Since no account registration is required to play games, children can enjoy the platform without providing any personal information. The anonymous analytics data collected by Google Analytics applies equally to all visitors regardless of age.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information (for example by contacting us directly), please reach out at g.goyal1990@gmail.com and we will promptly address the situation.
Your Rights
Depending on your country of residence, you may have the following rights regarding your data:
Since we collect very little personally identifiable data, most of these rights apply primarily to data shared through direct contact (email or WhatsApp). To exercise any of these rights, contact us at g.goyal1990@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with any third party for commercial purposes. Period.
We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Google Analytics processes anonymous usage data on our behalf under Google's data processing terms
- Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or governmental authority, we may be compelled to disclose certain information
- Business transfer: In the unlikely event the site is sold or transferred, data would be transferred as part of that transaction with the same privacy protections applied
Policy Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of Gobli Games after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If we make significant changes that materially affect your rights, we will post a notice on the homepage.
