Privacy Policy

1. Our Identity

FunnyBestGame operates as a standalone editorial platform dedicated to reviewing and evaluating mobile game development agencies. We make our findings available at funnybestgame.xyz and act as the primary controller for any data handled through this site. References to "we", "us", or "our" indicate the FunnyBestGame editorial group.

We are not a software vendor, we do not accept development contracts, nor do we function as a software agency. Our interactions with the reviewed studios focus strictly on research, with select commercial partnerships outlined in section 9 and our Terms and Conditions.

2. Data Collection Practices

The vast majority of users browse FunnyBestGame without providing personal details. The data we do process generally falls into three categories: standard technical information provided by your browser (such as IP address, user agent, requested language, and referring URL); usage statistics indicating which articles are read and for how long; and any text you willingly submit via our support chat interface.

We never request names, physical addresses, financial information, or government identification, and we maintain no user account systems. Any personal information voluntarily shared within a chat session is managed as detailed in section 5.

3. Purposes of Processing

We process technical information strictly to deliver web pages securely, maintain site uptime, and identify abusive behaviours like automated scraping or denial of service attacks. Usage data helps us gauge the value of our content, highlight areas where readers disengage, and refine our editorial focus to better serve our audience.

Chat interactions are processed solely to address your specific queries. This data is not used for behavioural profiling, we do not track individuals across multiple sessions, and we never augment it with externally acquired datasets.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

Where required by privacy legislation, we base our essential technical and security processing on legitimate interests, as maintaining a functional and secure website is impossible without it and poses minimal risk to users. For non-essential functions, such as optional analytics and cookies, we rely on your explicit consent, which is requested upon your initial visit and remains freely revocable.

Should you revoke consent, analytics tracking will cease immediately for your device. Essential processing will persist to keep the site operational.

5. Support Chat Operations

Our on-site research assistant answers frequent questions regarding costs, production schedules, platforms, and our evaluation criteria directly within your browser environment. This conversation data is temporarily held while the window is active and is completely erased once you navigate away or close the tab. No transcripts are saved to our databases, and no human operators read these messages live.

As this system is fully automated, we strongly advise against sharing sensitive corporate data, contractual details, passwords, or anything you consider private. For confidential enquiries, please reach out to the relevant studio directly.

6. Local Storage and Cookies

Our site utilises minimal cookies and a single local storage item. The local storage records your preference regarding our cookie banner to prevent it from reappearing constantly. When authorised, analytics cookies help us aggregate visitor counts and gauge reading depth.

Comprehensive details about each cookie's function, origin, and duration can be found in our Cookie Policy. Wiping your browser's local data will remove all of these entries, including your consent preference.

7. Measurement and Analytics

Provided we have your consent, we gather broad, aggregated metrics: total page views, referral sources, general geographic regions based on IP, device types, and scroll activity. We actively avoid technologies designed to track individuals across the wider internet, and we do not employ retargeting advertisements.

The analytics we review are entirely consolidated. We might observe that a specific guide was accessed thousands of times, but we cannot, and do not attempt to, identify you personally as one of those readers.

8. Third-Party Data Access

Information may be processed by three types of external service providers: our hosting platform which maintains standard traffic logs, our analytics vendor (if consent is given), and any security infrastructure protecting against malicious activity. All operate under strict agreements limiting their data usage strictly to the services we mandate.

We categorically do not sell, lease, or barter reader information. We do not share visitor data with the game studios we evaluate. The sole exception for disclosure would be a valid, binding legal order, and we would comply only to the minimum required extent.

9. External Links and Referrals

Interacting with a studio link may route you through a brief redirect page containing tracking parameters, allowing the destination company to attribute the referral to FunnyBestGame. This mechanism may generate a commission for us, a practice openly declared in our site footer and Terms and Conditions.

Upon arriving at a third-party studio's website, you become subject to their privacy framework. We possess no authority over their data collection, cannot view what you submit there, and cannot process deletion requests on their platforms.

10. Data Retention Periods

Standard server logs are kept for a maximum of 30 days before being purged or reduced to anonymous tallies. Aggregated analytics may be preserved for up to 26 months to facilitate year-over-year content analysis. Chat inputs are destroyed the moment your browser session concludes.

Your consent decision is stored locally in your browser and remains valid until cleared by you, or until 12 months elapse, triggering a new request.

11. Security Measures

All traffic to our site is encrypted, administrative access requires multi-factor authentication, and our software stack is routinely updated. Our security philosophy is based on data minimisation: the most secure data is the data we never collect.

While absolute security is unattainable, should a data breach ever pose a genuine risk to our readers, we will publish a prominent notification on this site and alert the appropriate regulatory bodies in accordance with Australian law.

12. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Our infrastructure partners may route or store data on servers located outside Australia. In such instances, we rely on established transfer mechanisms provided by these vendors to ensure appropriate safeguards are maintained.

If you require details regarding the specific providers active during your visit, please contact us for current information.

13. User Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may hold rights to access, rectify, or delete the data we retain concerning you, object to processing based on legitimate interests, withdraw previously granted consent, and lodge complaints with relevant data protection authorities. Australian residents may direct concerns to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

As we store very little personally identifiable information, most requests can be resolved swiftly. When contacting us, please provide the approximate date and the specific pages you visited to assist our search.

14. Age Restrictions

This platform offers business-oriented evaluations of commercial game studios and is strictly not intended for minors. We operate an age gate to restrict access to those 18 and older. We do not intentionally gather data from anyone under this age threshold.

If you suspect a minor has interacted with our chat system, please notify us; we will verify that no information has been retained, as chat data does not persist beyond the active session.

15. Policy Modifications

We may revise this document to reflect new tools, changes in service providers, or legal developments. The date at the top indicates the latest revision, and significant alterations will prompt a renewed consent notice to ensure returning visitors are informed.

Continued use of our platform following updates constitutes acceptance of the new terms. Should you disagree, you should cease using the site and clear any related browser storage.

16. Contact Information

For inquiries regarding this policy, data requests, or to report inaccuracies, please use the contact methods available on our official social media profiles, linked in the site footer. We process privacy requests sequentially and strive to reply within 30 days.

Please note that questions concerning specific game studios should be directed to them for the most rapid response.
