Privacy Policy

The Philosophy of Privacy

Within the mystical realm of Maporia, privacy is not merely a legal obligation but a fundamental principle woven into the very fabric of our existence. We have constructed our domain upon the belief that digital entertainment need not require the sacrifice of personal information, that engagement can occur without surveillance, and that visitors deserve to explore our realm without leaving permanent traces of their presence.

This Privacy Policy articulates our sacred vow to respect your anonymity and protect what little information your passage through Maporia requires. We invite you to read these words carefully, understanding that transparency forms the cornerstone of trust between us.

The Minimal Collection

Maporia practices data minimalism as a core philosophical principle. The only information we retain about your visit consists of a single indicator stored within your own browser's local storage, confirming that you have previously verified your age. This solitary data point exists solely to prevent repeated presentation of the age verification gate upon subsequent visits.

We do not request, collect, or store names, electronic mail addresses, physical locations, contact numbers, or any other information that could identify you as an individual. Maporia functions without user accounts, registration systems, or profile creation, allowing you to experience our offerings in complete anonymity.

Understanding Local Storage

The mechanism through which we remember your age verification employs a standard browser feature called local storage. This technology allows websites to place small pieces of information directly onto your device, where they remain under your complete control. The data never travels to external servers, never gets transmitted across networks, and never leaves your personal device.

You maintain absolute authority over this information through your browser's built-in controls. Clearing your browser's local storage removes our age verification flag instantly and permanently, though this action will require you to verify your age anew during your next visit to Maporia.

The Ephemeral Nature of Gameplay

Information generated during your gaming sessions within Maporia – including virtual currency balances, game states, preference settings, and outcome histories – exists only temporarily within your browser's session storage. This data evaporates when you close your browser, clear your cache, or switch to a different device.

Because Maporia operates without financial components and maintains no user accounts, we have no legitimate reason to preserve persistent records of your activities. Each visit to our realm stands independent of previous visits, ensuring maximum privacy through design rather than through policy alone.

The Absence of Third Parties

Maporia maintains a strict policy of non-engagement with external tracking services, analytics providers, advertising networks, or data brokers. We do not employ cookies for tracking purposes, do not embed third-party scripts that monitor your behavior, and do not participate in any form of data sharing or selling.

The only external connections within Maporia consist of links to responsible gaming organizations such as GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These hyperlinks direct you to independent websites that operate under their own privacy policies. Once you depart Maporia through these portals, the privacy practices of those external sites govern your interaction with them.

Security Through Simplicity

The most effective security strategy involves not collecting sensitive information in the first place. Maporia implements this principle thoroughly, creating a situation where data breaches pose minimal risk because there exists minimal data to breach. The single piece of local storage we utilize benefits from your browser's inherent security mechanisms.

We encourage you to maintain updated browser software and implement strong security practices on all devices you use to access the internet. These general precautions protect you across all online activities, including but not limited to your visits to Maporia.

Protection of Youth

Maporia designates itself as a realm exclusively for adults who have completed at least 18 years of life. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals below this age threshold, primarily because we collect virtually no information from anyone regardless of age. Our age verification system represents a first line of defense against underage access.

Parents and guardians bear primary responsibility for monitoring the digital activities of minors under their supervision. Should concerns arise about a minor accessing Maporia, please understand that we maintain no user accounts or persistent data that would require deletion. Simply clearing browser local storage removes any trace of age verification.

Evolution of Practice

While our current privacy practices already minimize data collection to near-zero levels, we reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as technological circumstances evolve or legal requirements change. Any substantive modifications will be reflected in an updated version of this document posted prominently within our realm.

Given our existing commitment to data minimalism, future changes are more likely to further strengthen privacy protections than to introduce new collection practices. Nevertheless, we encourage periodic review of this policy to remain informed about our practices.

Your Rights and Controls

You possess complete control over the minimal data footprint created by your interaction with Maporia. Your browser settings provide straightforward mechanisms for viewing and deleting local storage data at any time. Exercising this control removes the age verification indicator but has no other consequences, as there exist no accounts to delete or profiles to erase.

Because we collect no personal information, there are no data portability requests to honor, no correction procedures to navigate, and no deletion protocols to follow beyond the simple clearing of local storage through your browser controls.

Global Accessibility

Maporia welcomes visitors from locations across the globe, and our privacy practices respect the dignity of all individuals regardless of their geographic origin. Our minimal data collection approach aligns with stringent privacy regulations implemented in various jurisdictions worldwide.

The local storage data we employ remains subject to the security environment of your personal device and the laws governing your physical location. We make no transfers of personal data across borders because we collect no personal data to transfer.

Channels for Inquiry

Should you harbor questions, concerns, or desires for clarification regarding this Privacy Policy or our data handling practices, we welcome your communication through appropriate channels. While we collect minimal data, we take privacy inquiries seriously and commit to providing honest, clear responses to legitimate questions.
