1. Introduction
Welcome to The Planet Clicker (accessible at theplanetclicker.net). We take your privacy seriously — not as a legal formality, but because we believe people deserve to know exactly what happens when they visit our site.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it’s used. If you have questions after reading this, feel free to reach out directly.
2. Who We Are
The Planet Clicker is a free browser-based idle clicker game. We don’t sell products, run subscriptions, or process payments of any kind. Our only goal is to give players an enjoyable, no-cost gaming experience.
3. What Information We Collect
We keep things minimal. Here’s an honest breakdown:
a) Information You Give Us Directly
We do not require you to create an account, log in, or submit any personal details to play the game. If you contact us via email, we’ll receive whatever information you include in that message — nothing more.
b) Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we collect certain technical data when you visit:
- IP address – used to understand general geographic traffic patterns
- Browser type and version – helps us optimize for the most common setups
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
- Referring URL – the page you came from before arriving here
- Pages visited and time spent – used to improve site structure and content
This data is aggregated. We are not building a profile on individual users.
c) Cookies
We use cookies — small text files stored in your browser. Here’s what they do on our site:
| Cookie Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Essential cookies | Keep the site functioning properly |
| Analytics cookies | Track anonymous usage stats (via Google Analytics) |
| Preference cookies | Remember basic display settings |
You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the site performs.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the data we collect for the following reasons:
- To keep the game running smoothly – technical diagnostics, performance monitoring
- To understand our audience – knowing which devices and browsers players use helps us prioritize updates
- To improve content – page-level analytics tell us what’s working and what needs attention
- To respond to inquiries – if you email us, we’ll use your contact info to reply
We do not use your data to serve personalized ads, build behavioral profiles, or sell information to third parties.
5. Third-Party Services
To run this site effectively, we rely on a small number of trusted third-party tools:
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors interact with the site. Google may set its own cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
WordPress / Hosting Infrastructure
The Planet Clicker runs on WordPress. Our hosting provider may log basic server access data as part of standard infrastructure operations.
Scratch (Game Platform)
The Planet Clicker game itself is built on the Scratch platform (scratch.mit.edu). When you interact with the embedded game, Scratch’s own privacy policy may apply. We recommend reviewing Scratch’s terms if you have concerns about game-level data.
6. Data Retention
We don’t store personal data beyond what’s necessary. Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymized form. Any email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry.
7. Children’s Privacy
The Planet Clicker is a casual browser game that may attract younger audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of that data
- Object to or restrict certain types of processing
- Withdraw consent at any time
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email listed below. We’ll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect the data we handle — including using HTTPS encryption on all pages. That said, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.
10. Links to Other Websites
Our site may contain links to external pages. Once you leave theplanetclicker.net, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to check the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We recommend checking back occasionally if you’re a regular visitor.
Significant changes will be noted more prominently.
