This Privacy Policy explains how ImpostrGames (“we”, “our”, or “the site”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our web-based games at impostrgames.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a transparent, safe experience.
By using ImpostrGames, you agree to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.
Our games operate entirely in your browser. Player names, game words, custom lists, and voting results are stored only in your browser's local memory (JavaScript session state). This data is never transmitted to our servers and is permanently cleared when you close or refresh the page.
We do not have access to the names players enter during gameplay, the words revealed during rounds, or the results of any votes.
Like all websites, our web server receives basic technical information each time your browser loads a page. This includes:
This data is used only to maintain service reliability and is not linked to any personal identity.
If you use our Contact page, the name, email address, and message you provide are sent directly via your own email client to our support address. We do not store contact form submissions in a database. We retain emails solely to respond to your inquiry.
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. We use two categories of cookies on this site:
These cookies store your ad consent preference (personalized or non-personalized ads) so you are not asked again on every visit. They contain no personal identifiers and expire after 180 days or when you clear your browser storage.
ImpostrGames displays advertisements served by Google AdSense, a service operated by Google LLC. When you view or interact with an ad on this site, Google may set cookies in your browser to:
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to impostrgames.com and other sites across the internet. Google's own privacy practices are described at google.com/privacy.
When you first visit ImpostrGames, a consent banner lets you choose between:
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and site data for impostrgames.com, which will re-display the consent banner on your next visit.
You may also opt out of Google's personalized advertising network-wide by visiting google.com/settings/ads, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We use the limited information we receive to:
We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties for marketing purposes. We do not build user profiles or maintain databases of visitor identities.
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense is operated by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google's use of cookies to serve ads on our site is governed by Google's Privacy Policy at google.com/privacy. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Our site is hosted on Vercel, Inc. infrastructure. Vercel processes standard server log data as part of hosting. Vercel's data processing practices are described in their Privacy Policy at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
ImpostrGames is accessible globally. If you are accessing the site from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable local law:
Because our games store no personal data on our servers, most GDPR rights have limited practical application. For Google AdSense data rights, please contact Google directly through their privacy tools at myaccount.google.com/privacy.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. Because ImpostrGames does not sell personal information and does not maintain a database of user identities, the majority of CCPA provisions have limited applicability.
To the extent Google AdSense's advertising cookies constitute a “sale” of personal data under CCPA, you can opt out by choosing non-personalized ads in the consent banner or by visiting google.com/settings/ads.
Because all game data is stored locally in your browser and never transmitted to our servers, your gameplay information is as secure as your own device. Our site is served exclusively over HTTPS to protect data in transit.
We recommend using an up-to-date browser, keeping your operating system patched, and clearing browser storage on shared devices after playing sessions that included any personal names.
ImpostrGames does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Our games are designed to operate without any account creation, personal data submission, or profile building. Player names entered during gameplay are stored only in browser memory and never received by our servers.
Parents and guardians should be aware that Google AdSense, when personalized ads are enabled, may use cookies according to Google's own child safety policies. We recommend selecting non-personalized ads for sessions involving younger players, which can be done through the consent banner.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings panels. You can typically:
Blocking all cookies will disable our consent preference memory, meaning the consent banner will re-appear each visit. It will also prevent Google AdSense from functioning as intended. Core game functionality is not affected by cookie settings since all game state is held in JavaScript memory, not cookies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our site evolves or as legal requirements change. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page when changes are made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through our contact page. We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within 5 business days.
For questions specifically about Google AdSense advertising cookies, you may also contact Google directly through google.com/privacy.
