Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Planet Clicker (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit [https://planetsclicker.com/].
Planet Clicker is a free, browser-based game website where you can play Planet Clicker and Planet Clicker 2 and read guides about them. We are an independent, fan-made site and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the games’ developer.
By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Who We Are
Planet Clicker is a fan-made website dedicated to the Planet Clicker games. Our website address is [https://planetsclicker.com]. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, you can email us at [#].
Information We Collect
We collect as little information as possible. What we collect falls into two groups.
1. Information You Give Us
You only share personal information when you choose to, for example when you use our contact form or email us. This may include:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Any message or details you send us
2. Information Collected Automatically
Like almost every website, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit. This helps the Site work correctly and helps us understand how it is used. It may include:
- Your IP address
- Your browser type and version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you view and how long you stay
- The website or search that referred you
- Your approximate location, such as your country, based on your IP address
This information is collected using cookies and similar technologies, and through the third-party services described below.
What We Do Not Collect
It is worth being specific about this, because it is unusual.
We do not collect or store your game progress. The original Planet Clicker has no save system, no user accounts and no server component. Your energy total, your upgrades and your run exist only in your browser while the tab is open. Nothing about how you play is recorded, transmitted or stored by us.
We do not require an account. You can play both games and read every guide without registering, logging in or providing any personal detail.
We do not collect payment information, because nothing on this Site is for sale.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the Site function, remember basic preferences, measure traffic, and support the advertising shown to you.
We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential cookies that are needed for the Site to load and work properly
- Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
- Advertising cookies used by Google and other third-party vendors to serve and measure ads
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies or warn you before one is set. If you block certain cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as expected.
If you are in a region that requires it, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or certain US states, we will ask for your consent through a cookie banner before placing non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw your choices at any time.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your messages and questions
- Operate, maintain and improve the Site
- Understand which pages and guides are most popular
- Keep the Site secure and prevent spam or misuse
- Display and measure advertising
- Comply with the law when required
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not send marketing emails unless you have specifically asked us to.
Advertising
Planet Clicker uses Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google, to display ads on the Site. Advertising is what keeps the games free to play. This section explains how advertising cookies work, as required by Google.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s My Ad Center at https://myadcenter.google.com. Older links to Google Ads Settings redirect to the same place.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/, or the Network Advertising Initiative at https://optout.networkadvertising.org/.
If you have not opted out of third-party ad serving, the cookies of other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads to you.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and how Google uses advertising cookies at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Please note that opting out of personalised advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads. You may still see non-personalised, generic ads, which are not based on your browsing behaviour.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as your IP address, the pages you visit and how long you stay. This helps us improve the Site’s content and performance.
You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can review Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Embedded Game Content
Our Site includes playable versions of Planet Clicker and Planet Clicker 2, which may load through an embedded frame, known as an iframe, hosted by a third-party provider.
When you play, that provider may set its own cookies or collect basic technical data under its own privacy policy. In practical terms, loading an embedded game is similar to visiting that provider’s own website. We do not control these third-party practices.
If you have concerns, you can adjust your browser’s cookie settings before playing, or read the guides on this Site without loading the games.
How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We only share information in these limited situations:
- With service providers who help us run the Site, such as Google for advertising and analytics, and our hosting provider, and only as needed to provide those services
- For legal reasons, if we are required to share information by law, or to protect the safety, rights or property of our visitors or our Site
- With your permission, when you ask us to share information for a specific purpose
Children’s Privacy
Planet Clicker is a family-friendly game, and we understand that children may visit our Site. It is a simple browser game that is widely played by younger players.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13, or the minimum age required in your country. We do not ask children for personal details, we do not offer accounts, and our contact form is intended for use by adults.
We also take steps to help ensure that advertising shown to visitors we identify as children is handled appropriately and is not based on personalised profiling, in line with Google’s advertising policies and applicable laws such as COPPA and the GDPR.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please email us at [YOUR CONTACT EMAIL] and we will delete it promptly. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise their children’s online activity.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it.
- Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to respond to you and for our records, then deleted.
- Automatically collected data, such as analytics and advertising data, is retained according to the settings and policies of Google and the other services we use.
- Game activity is not retained at all, because it is never collected.
If you would like us to delete information you have sent us, email us and ask.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, including serving the Site over a secure connection (HTTPS) and using trusted service providers.
However, no website or method of transmission over the internet is ever completely secure. While we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate
- Ask us to delete your information
- Ask us to limit or stop how we use it
- Opt out of analytics and personalised advertising
To exercise any of these rights, contact us. We will respond as required by law.
For Visitors in the European Union and United Kingdom (GDPR)
If you are in the EU or UK, you have the rights listed above under the General Data Protection Regulation. Our legal basis for processing your information is usually your consent, for cookies, analytics and personalised ads, or our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Site.
You may withdraw consent at any time, and you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
For Visitors in California (CCPA and CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information as those terms are defined by California law.
We do not sell your personal information. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no agreed industry standard for how websites should respond to these signals, our Site does not currently respond to them.
You can still manage tracking through your browser settings, our cookie banner, and the advertising opt-out links above.
Links to Other Websites
Our Site may link to other websites and reference pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If we make a significant change, we will make it clear on the Site. Please review this page occasionally to stay informed.
