Who is responsible for your information
The data controller is playjovaro.com, hello@playjovaro.com, which operates Play Jovaro and is accountable for the personal information described in this policy. For any privacy question or request, email hello@playjovaro.com. We handle personal information in line with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other Canadian privacy laws that apply.
The short version
No accounts, no sign-up, no selling of data. Your game progress stays in your own browser. Our host keeps brief technical logs to keep the site secure. If you email us, we use your message to reply. Google measurement cookies are only ever set if they are switched on and you say yes first.
No accounts, no sign-up
You can use every part of Play Jovaro without telling us who you are. We don't ask for your name, email address, date of birth, phone number or payment details, and there is no login. The age confirmation in our games is a simple yes or no that is stored on your device; we never receive it.
Game data on your device
To make the games work, your browser keeps a few values in its local storage and session storage: your Jovaro Coins balance, whether you have confirmed you are 19 or older, the stake you last chose in each game, your reality-check interval, the end time of any break you have set, and short-lived session details such as how long you have played this session. This information stays on your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else, and we cannot see it. The "Forget my settings" button on our responsible play page removes your balance, age confirmation and reminder setting at any time (an active break stays until it ends), and clearing your browser's site data removes everything. Our cookies and storage page lists each item.
Hosting and security logs
Play Jovaro is delivered through Cloudflare, our hosting and security provider. Like any web server, Cloudflare processes technical information when your browser requests a page: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, your browser's user agent string and similar connection details. This is used to deliver the site, to protect it against attacks and abuse, and to fix faults. These logs are kept for a short period, generally no more than a few days unless they are needed to investigate a specific security incident, and we do not use them to build a profile of you.
Emails you send us
If you write to us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you choose to include. We use it to answer you and to keep a record of the conversation. We keep correspondence for up to two years after the conversation ends, unless we need it longer to deal with a complaint or a legal obligation. Please don't send us sensitive information we haven't asked for.
Google measurement tags, only if enabled
By default, Play Jovaro sets no cookies and loads no analytics or advertising scripts. The operator may decide to switch on Google measurement tags (Google Analytics or Google Ads conversion measurement) to understand how visitors find the site. If that happens:
- a banner will ask for your consent before any Google cookie is set, and the site works the same whether you accept or decline;
- if you accept, Google cookies such as
_ga,_ga_*and_gcl_auare stored, and Google receives information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from your IP address, device and browser details, and whether you started a game; - if you decline, those cookies are not set, and Google tags run in a restricted consent mode that does not store identifiers on your device;
- you can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser, which brings the banner back.
Google uses this information under its own terms. You can read how in How Google uses information from sites that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Why we use information, and on what basis
- Running the site and keeping it secure (hosting logs): necessary to provide the service you asked for, and within the reasonable expectations of anyone visiting a website.
- Replying to you (emails): with your consent, which you give by writing to us.
- Measurement (Google tags, if enabled): only with your express consent through the banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
- Legal obligations: where the law requires us to keep or disclose information.
Who we share information with
We never sell or rent personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run Play Jovaro, under contracts that require them to protect it and use it only on our instructions: Cloudflare for hosting and security, our email provider for correspondence and, only if measurement is switched on and you consent, Google. We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our players and the public.
Information stored outside Canada
Cloudflare operates a global network, and Google and our email provider may process information in the United States and other countries. When information is processed outside Canada, it is subject to the laws of those countries and may be accessible to their courts and authorities. We choose providers that offer strong contractual and security safeguards.
How long we keep information
Hosting logs are kept briefly, as described above. Emails are kept for up to two years after a conversation ends. Google measurement data, if enabled, is kept according to the retention settings of those tools, which will be stated on this page when the tags are switched on. Game data on your device stays until you clear it.
Your rights
You can ask us whether we hold personal information about you, request access to it, ask us to correct it, and withdraw your consent where we rely on it. Because we don't run accounts, the only information we are likely to hold is your correspondence with us. Email hello@playjovaro.com and we will reply within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Residents of Quebec have rights under Quebec's private-sector privacy law as updated by Law 25 and may contact the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.
Children
Play Jovaro is only for adults aged 19 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 19. If you believe a young person has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The site is served only over encrypted HTTPS connections. Because we don't hold accounts or game data, there is very little personal information for anyone to target. Access to our email and hosting systems is limited to the people who need it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, for example by switching on measurement tags, we will update this page and the date at the top. Significant changes will also be flagged on the site.
