Privacy Policy

Effective date: 15 June 2026

1. Overview

This website, https://cardsolitaire.win, is run by Oleksii Harbuzenko as an independent project. This privacy policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site, how it is used, and what choices you have. It applies only to this website — it does not cover the mobile or desktop apps, which have their own policies on their respective app stores.

We try to collect as little as possible. The site is a card game with a blog attached; it does not need to know who you are to work.

2. Information we collect

This website does not require an account, does not run its own analytics service, and does not track you across sessions. The two narrow situations in which information reaches us are:

• Contact form submissions. If you use the contact page, we receive your name, email address, and the message you write. Your IP address is also captured server-side for spam triage. We use this information only to reply to you; we do not add you to a mailing list or share the details with anyone else.
• Standard web server logs. Like every web server, ours records the IP address, browser type, and page requested for each visit. These logs are used only for security monitoring and diagnosing technical problems. They are rotated automatically and are not linked to any individual profile.

There are no accounts, no login system, and no persistent user profiles of any kind on this site.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device. This site itself does not set cookies for tracking or personalisation. However, third-party services embedded on the site — primarily Google AdSense for advertising — may set their own cookies when pages load.

The cookies you may encounter fall into two broad categories:

• Strictly necessary. A small number of cookies may be set by the hosting infrastructure to keep a page session stable. These contain no personal information and expire when you close your browser.
• Advertising. Google AdSense and its partners use cookies to serve ads that are relevant to you. These are described in detail in the Google AdSense section below.

You can block or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. Instructions for most popular browsers are available at www.aboutcookies.org. Blocking advertising cookies will not prevent ads from appearing, but those ads will no longer be tailored to your interests.

4. Google AdSense

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense is provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

As a third-party vendor, Google uses cookies to serve ads on this site. These cookies allow Google to recognise your browser and track which pages you visit here and on other websites across the Internet. Google then uses that information to show you ads that may match your browsing interests — a practice called interest-based or personalised advertising.

One specific cookie Google uses for this purpose is the DART cookie. The DART cookie is set by Google in the doubleclick.net domain and is used to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this site and to other sites on the Internet. It does not collect any personally identifying information such as your name or email address.

How to opt out of personalised ads

You have several options to limit or turn off personalised advertising:

• Google Ads Settings — visit www.google.com/settings/ads to review and adjust how Google uses your information for advertising, or to opt out of personalised ads entirely.
• Industry opt-out tool — visit www.aboutads.info/choices to opt out of personalised advertising from multiple third-party vendors in one place.
• Browser cookie controls — block or delete cookies as described in the Cookies section above.

Google's advertising policies

Google's own description of how it uses advertising data is available at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. We encourage you to read it if you would like a fuller picture of how the ad-serving system works.

Users in the EEA and UK

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Google is required by law to obtain your consent before serving personalised ads. It does this through its consent management interface, which may appear the first time you visit a site that uses AdSense. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by returning to those settings. If you do not consent, Google will serve non-personalised ads instead — ads chosen based on the page content rather than your browsing history.

5. Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13 (as defined by the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) or under 16 (as defined by the EU General Data Protection Regulation).

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has submitted information to us through the contact form, please email [email protected] and we will delete that information promptly.

6. Data sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share contact-form submissions with marketing companies, data brokers, or any other third party.

The only third-party data flow from this site is the AdSense integration described in Section 4. That relationship is governed by Google's own privacy policies, not ours.

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with legal process or protect the rights and safety of others.

7. Your rights (GDPR and CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights over your personal information.

If you are in the EU or UK (GDPR), you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request its deletion or correction, to object to certain processing, and to data portability. Because we collect very little data in the first place, in practice this mostly means contact-form submissions and server logs.

If you are in California (CCPA), you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, or just to ask a question about your data, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features to the site or if laws change. When we do, we will update the effective date shown at the top of this page. We will not notify individual users of routine changes, so we suggest checking this page periodically if you would like to stay informed.

Significant changes — such as introducing a new category of data collection — will be noted clearly on this page.

9. Contact

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or about how your data is handled, you can reach us by email at [email protected] or via the contact page. We read every message that comes in.
