Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 15, 2025

Foundational Privacy Principles

Obsidoria was architected from its inception with privacy as a core, non-negotiable principle rather than a compliance obligation or marketing feature. This Privacy Policy articulates our approach to user data in unambiguous language: we collect essentially nothing, we analyze essentially nothing, and we share nothing because there exists nothing to share.

Comprehensive Data Collection Disclosure

Obsidoria does not require user account creation, does not solicit email addresses or other contact information, does not track individual user activities across browsing sessions, and does not harvest personal identifying information of any kind. The solitary data point we maintain is a minimal age verification confirmation stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage—data that never leaves your device, never touches our servers, and never enters our possession.

Age Verification Implementation Details

Upon your initial visit to Obsidoria, when you affirm that you have reached at least 18 years of age, we store a simple verification flag in your browser's localStorage. This flag serves exactly one function: preventing the age verification modal from reappearing during subsequent visits from the same browser. This stored data remains entirely on your device, is never transmitted to Obsidoria servers or any third-party services, and can be deleted at any time through your browser's data management settings.

LocalStorage Technology Explained

LocalStorage represents a fundamentally different technology from traditional tracking cookies. While cookies are automatically transmitted to servers with every HTTP request, localStorage data remains exclusively on your local device and is accessible only by the specific website that created it. Obsidoria uses localStorage exclusively for the age verification flag described above—we store no additional data, track no additional information, and utilize no other client-side storage mechanisms.

Explicit Non-Collection Practices

Obsidoria deliberately refrains from practices common among many online platforms. We do not deploy analytics services such as Google Analytics or similar tools. We do not integrate advertising networks, retargeting pixels, or tracking technologies. We do not embed social media widgets that track users across websites. We do not log which games you play, how long your sessions last, what actions you take within games, or any other behavioral data. We do not construct user profiles, do not engage in behavioral tracking, and do not participate in data brokerage or sale of any kind.

Inherent Technical Data Transmission

Like any web-based platform, when you access Obsidoria, your web browser automatically transmits certain technical information necessary for basic web functionality, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, and referring URL. Web servers require this information to deliver content to your browser. While our servers may temporarily retain this data in standard server logs for basic technical operations and security monitoring, we do not aggregate this data for analytical purposes, do not retain it long-term for user tracking, and do not employ it to construct individual user profiles.

Third-Party Resource Links

Obsidoria provides links to external responsible gambling support organizations including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These are independent entities with their own privacy policies and data handling practices over which we exercise no control. When you activate these links, you depart from Obsidoria and enter a third-party website subject to its own privacy practices. We encourage reviewing the privacy policies of any external websites you visit through our links.

Absolute User Data Control

Since the only data Obsidoria stores is the localStorage age verification flag residing on your own device, you maintain complete and absolute control over this information. You can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or site-specific data through your browser settings. Different browsers provide different interfaces for this functionality, but all modern browsers include mechanisms for managing website data. After clearing the localStorage flag, the age verification modal will reappear upon your next visit to Obsidoria.

Minor Protection Measures

Obsidoria is not designed for, targeted toward, or appropriate for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors because we do not knowingly permit minors to access our platform. Our age verification system serves as a primary protective barrier, though we acknowledge it depends upon user honesty. Ultimate responsibility for preventing minor access to age-restricted content rests with parents, guardians, and supervising adults who should employ appropriate parental control technologies and supervision practices.

Security Measures and Protocols

Despite collecting minimal user data, Obsidoria implements reasonable security measures to protect the integrity and availability of our platform. This includes utilizing secure HTTPS connections for all traffic, maintaining current security patches and updates for our systems, following industry-standard security practices in our code development and deployment, and conducting basic security monitoring. However, the most effective security measure for protecting user privacy is our foundational approach: not collecting sensitive personal data in the first place.

International Access Considerations

Obsidoria is accessible from locations worldwide, and we apply identical minimal-data, privacy-respecting practices to all users regardless of geographic location or jurisdiction. The localStorage age verification flag is stored on each user's individual device regardless of their location, and we do not differentiate our data handling practices based on user jurisdiction or implement geo-specific privacy policies.

Privacy Policy Modifications

In the event that modifications to our privacy practices become necessary, we will update this policy and revise the effective date displayed at the top of this document. However, we maintain unwavering commitment to our minimal-data collection philosophy, and any changes would necessarily align with protecting user privacy. We encourage periodic review of this policy to remain informed, though we anticipate changes will be infrequent given our intentionally simple and straightforward approach.

Privacy Inquiries

Should you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, we hope the detailed explanations provided above address your concerns comprehensively. Our approach is deliberately uncomplicated and maximally transparent: we utilize localStorage exclusively for age verification purposes, we do not track your activities or behavior, and we do not collect or share your personal information. This simplicity reflects our fundamental respect for user privacy and our commitment to ethical operation.
