Privacy Policy

1. Introduction to Our Privacy Approach

At Opalora, privacy is not merely a legal obligation—it is a fundamental principle that guides our operations. This Privacy Policy articulates our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of information in connection with your use of our platform.

Opalora has been designed with privacy as a core consideration. We collect minimal information and maintain transparency about our data practices. This policy explains what information we may gather and how we handle it.

2. Information We Collect

Opalora's information collection practices are deliberately minimal. The categories of information we may collect include:

Age Verification Information

When you first access Opalora, we store a simple confirmation of age verification in your browser's local storage. This consists of a boolean value indicating that you have confirmed meeting our age requirement. This information resides exclusively on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties.

Technical and Usage Information

Our web servers automatically log certain technical information necessary for basic platform operation and security:

• Browser type, version, and language settings
• Operating system and device type
• IP address (which may be anonymized)
• Pages accessed and duration of visits
• Referring URL (the page from which you arrived)
• Date and time stamps of access

This information is collected passively through standard web server logging mechanisms.

Information We Do Not Collect

Opalora does not require or collect:

• Personal identification information (names, addresses, phone numbers)
• Email addresses or other contact information
• Financial information or payment details
• Social security numbers or government-issued identifiers
• Precise geolocation data
• Behavioral tracking data across other websites

Because Opalora requires no account creation or registration, we maintain no user profiles or personal data repositories.

3. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect serves specific, defined purposes:

• Age Compliance: To verify and maintain compliance with our 18+ age requirement
• Service Delivery: To present and deliver the games and content you request
• Security: To detect, prevent, and address security threats and malicious activities
• Technical Maintenance: To identify and resolve technical issues and optimize performance
• Platform Improvement: To understand general usage patterns and enhance user experience

We do not sell, rent, lease, or otherwise commercialize any information collected through Opalora. We do not participate in data broker networks or third-party advertising ecosystems.

4. Data Storage and Retention

Local Storage

Age verification confirmation is stored in your browser's local storage using HTML5 local storage technology. This data never leaves your device and is accessible only to Opalora when you visit our platform. It persists until you manually clear your browser storage.

Server Logs

Technical information logged by our servers is retained only as long as necessary for security, troubleshooting, and platform optimization purposes. We implement reasonable retention policies and periodically purge outdated log data.

No Third-Party Storage

We do not store information with third-party services, analytics platforms, or cloud providers that would have independent access to your data.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Approach to Cookies

Opalora does not employ traditional cookies for tracking purposes. Instead, we utilize HTML5 local storage exclusively for age verification confirmation.

No Third-Party Tracking

We do not use third-party cookies, tracking pixels, web beacons, or similar technologies. Opalora does not participate in cross-site tracking, behavioral advertising, or analytics services that would monitor your activities across the internet.

Managing Local Storage

You maintain complete control over local storage through your browser settings. You may clear local storage at any time, which will reset the age verification prompt on your next visit. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions on managing local storage.

6. Data Security Measures

While Opalora collects minimal information, we nonetheless implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures:

• Secure server configurations and regular security updates
• Encryption of data in transit where applicable
• Access controls and authentication mechanisms
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning
• Incident response procedures

However, no internet-based system can guarantee absolute security. While we employ reasonable safeguards, we cannot ensure or warrant complete security of information transmitted to or stored by Opalora.

7. Third-Party Websites

Opalora contains links to external websites, specifically responsible gaming resources including GambleAware.org, GamCare.org.uk, and GamblingTherapy.org. These external sites operate independently and maintain their own privacy policies.

When you navigate to an external website via a link from Opalora, you leave our platform and become subject to the privacy practices of that external site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

Opalora is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

8. Children's Privacy

Opalora is intended exclusively for individuals aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 years of age. Our age verification mechanisms are designed to prevent access by minors.

If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed Opalora or that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete such information and prevent further access.

Parents and guardians bear responsibility for monitoring their children's internet usage and preventing access to age-restricted content.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Given that Opalora collects minimal personal information and requires no accounts, traditional data subject rights have limited applicability. Nevertheless, you retain certain controls:

• Access Control: You may choose whether to use Opalora
• Local Storage Management: You may clear browser storage at any time
• Browser Settings: You may disable JavaScript or local storage (though this will affect functionality)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional privacy rights under local data protection laws. We comply with all applicable privacy regulations.

10. International Data Transfers

Opalora may be accessed from various countries worldwide. By using our platform, you acknowledge that information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in locations that may have data protection standards different from those in your jurisdiction.

Your use of Opalora constitutes consent to such international transfers to the extent permitted by applicable law.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. Material revisions will be indicated by updating the effective date at the beginning of this document.

We encourage periodic review of this Privacy Policy to remain informed about our privacy practices. Your continued use of Opalora following any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

12. Our Commitment to Privacy

Privacy protection is integral to Opalora's identity. We have deliberately designed our platform to minimize data collection and maximize user privacy. This is not a marketing strategy—it is a fundamental commitment.

We believe that entertainment should not require surrendering personal information. Opalora demonstrates that sophisticated gaming experiences can be delivered while respecting user privacy. This commitment distinguishes us and guides our every decision.
