Privacy policy

What this page covers

DevAI Games is a small games site. This page explains, in plain language, what happens to data when you play here.

The short version: we never ask for your name, your email or a password, and saving progress is optional.

Game progress

Levels you unlock, stars, coins and high scores are written to your own browser's local storage on the device you played on.

So that progress survives a cleared cache and can follow you to a second device, a copy of your XP, coins, trophies and badges is also saved on our server against a randomly generated player id. That id is not derived from anything about you: there is no name, no email, no password and no profile attached to it. Your browser holds a token for it, and you can see everything stored against it, at any time, on the progress page.

Moving progress to another device uses a short recovery code. We store only a one-way hash of that code, which means we cannot read it back or recover it for you — if you lose it, the progress stays on the device that still has the token.

Feedback you send us

If you use a feedback form, we store the message, which page it came from, the time it was sent, and your browser's user-agent string so we can reproduce bugs. We also store a one-way hash of your IP address purely to spot floods of spam — the address itself is not kept and cannot be recovered from the hash. Giving an email address is optional and only used to reply to you. We do not add it to any mailing list and we do not pass it to anyone.

Don't put anything sensitive in a feedback message — treat it like a public comment.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to count page views and see which games people play. It records things like the page URL, rough geographic region, browser type, device type and the site you arrived from — not your name, your email or your precise location. Google sets cookies in your browser to tell one visit from the next, and processes that data on our behalf.

If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal or you use an ad blocker, analytics simply will not load and the site works exactly the same. You can also opt out everywhere with Google's own browser add-on.

Advertising

The site carries advertising to cover hosting and to keep every game free to play. There is no paid tier, no unlock to buy and nothing behind a wall, so ads are how the bills get met.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or to other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on those visits. Ad providers may also use device identifiers to cap how often you see the same ad and to measure whether an ad worked.

You can turn off personalised advertising from Google at My Ad Center, and opt out of personalisation by many other vendors at aboutads.info. Turning personalisation off does not remove ads; it makes them less relevant. You can also block them outright with an ad blocker and every game on this site will still work.

More detail on how Google handles data when you use sites that show its ads is in Google's own partner-sites notice.

Where the law requires it — the UK and the EEA in particular — a consent banner asks before any non-essential cookie is set, and declining is a real choice that leaves the games fully playable.

We do not sell personal data. We do not run ads targeted at children, we do not allow ads that imitate a game control or a download button, and we do not place ads inside a game frame while you are playing.

Games hosted elsewhere

Some games load inside a frame from another domain we control. Those pages follow the same rules described here.

Children

The site is suitable for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes materially, the date below changes with it. Questions about anything on this page can be sent through any feedback form on the site.
