Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Battleships Online ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit our website and play our game. We have designed this site to collect as little personal information as possible — but some information is collected by the services that host and monetize the site, and you deserve to know about it.

1. Information We Collect Directly

• The game itself collects nothing. All game logic (ship placement, shots, results) runs entirely in your browser. We never receive your gameplay data.
• Contact form / email. If you contact us by email, we receive the name, email address, and message you choose to send. We use it only to reply to you and never sell or share it with third parties for marketing.

We do not require registration, and we do not ask for sensitive personal data to play.

2. Cookies

A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser. Our own pages set no tracking cookies of their kind; however, the advertising service described below may set cookies in your browser when it serves ads.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Most browsers let you delete existing cookies through their settings menu. Note that some site features (such as remembering ad preferences) may not function correctly if cookies are blocked entirely.

3. Third-Party Advertising and Google AdSense

This Site is supported by advertising delivered through Google AdSense and similar providers. Please be aware:

• 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/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of many third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices or optout.networkadvertising.org.

For more detail on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services".

4. Analytics

At present this Site does not run its own analytics scripts. Any analytics added in the future will be described in this section, along with how to opt out.

5. Log Data & Hosting

Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical log data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This is used for security and operational purposes (for example, detecting abuse) and is not used by us to personally identify visitors.

6. Children's Privacy

Our game is family-friendly, but the Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

7. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA and Similar Laws)

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict its use, and to object to processing. Since we hold almost no direct data, the fastest route is simply to email us — we will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. Advertising cookies are controlled via the opt-out links in Section 3.

8. Data Security

The Site is served over HTTPS, and because the game stores nothing about you, the practical risk to your privacy from playing is minimal. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information sent to us by email.

9. Third-Party Links

Our content may link to external websites (such as Google's policy pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please read their policies separately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates are posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Significant changes will be highlighted on the homepage for a reasonable period.
