PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: May 14, 2026

Plain-English summary: Fun Clicker is free to play with no account. We don't ask for your name, email or age. Leaderboards use auto-generated handles (e.g. BraveTiger_421) — never a name you type. We collect almost nothing about you. The advertising on the site runs in child-directed mode by default, which means no behavioural ad personalisation regardless of who you are. We never sell anything about you, and the whole site is built to comply with the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and equivalent privacy rights in other US states. If you visit from outside the US, your local rights still apply.

1. Who this policy is from

This policy is published by FunClicker.com ("we", "us", "the site"), a US-based business operating the website at funclicker.com. FunClicker.com is the operator and the business responsible for any information processed through the site.

You can contact us at any time using the contact form or by emailing [email protected]. That is the channel for privacy requests, data deletion, complaints and general enquiries.

2. Who the site is for

Fun Clicker is a general-audience games site. Some games lean into horror and may not suit younger players — see each game page for what to expect. Because we expect users of all ages on the site, including children under 13, the site is treated as child-directed for advertising purposes (US COPPA) and we apply equivalent enhanced protections to the whole site, not just for under-13s. This means stricter advertising controls, no behavioural ad personalisation by default, no nudging or dark patterns, and minimal data collection across the board.

3. What we collect

3.1 Data you actively give us

  • An auto-generated leaderboard handle. The first time you submit a high score, your browser generates a random handle of the form AdjectiveNoun_NNN (for example BraveTiger_421) and stores it locally. That handle is sent to our server alongside your score and shown on the public leaderboard. We never ask you to type a name. You can regenerate your handle at any time by clearing your browser data or using the regenerate button on the leaderboard.
  • Contact form submissions. If you write to us via the contact form we keep the name, email and message you supply so we can reply.

3.2 Data your browser sends automatically

  • A hashed IP address. When you vote on a game or submit a score we hash your IP with a daily-rotating salt and store the hash to prevent vote-stuffing and abuse. We do not store the raw IP. The hash cannot be reversed and rotates every 24 hours.
  • Server log entries. Like every website, our hosting platform briefly logs request URLs, timestamps and user-agent strings. These logs are kept for diagnostic purposes only and rotated on a standard schedule (typically 14–30 days).

3.3 Data stored in your own browser (not on our server)

  • Favourites and recently-played. Your favourites star and your recently-played list are kept in your browser's localStorage. They never leave your device.
  • Your leaderboard handle. Stored in localStorage so the same handle persists across runs. Never transmitted except alongside a score submission.
  • Session flags. Lightweight flags such as "this player has already seen the pre-play interstitial today" are stored in sessionStorage and cleared when you close the tab.

3.4 What we do NOT collect

  • We do not require an email address, phone number, real name, age, or date of birth to play any game.
  • We do not allow user-typed names on leaderboards. Handles are auto-generated by your browser and follow a fixed pattern.
  • We do not build user profiles. There is no concept of an account on this site.
  • We do not use cross-site trackers of our own. Third-party advertising trackers are covered in section 6.
  • We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

4. How we use the data we have

We process the limited data described above only for these purposes:

  • Operating the site — displaying leaderboards, counting plays, recording thumbs-up / thumbs-down ratings, running the daily challenge.
  • Preventing abuse — vote-stuffing protection via the hashed IP, contact form spam-filtering, basic rate-limiting.
  • Responding to you — replying to contact form messages, fulfilling privacy requests, fixing bugs you report.
  • Serving advertising — via our advertising partners (see section 6), restricted to child-directed treatment by default.
  • Complying with the law — retaining and producing records where required by applicable US federal or state law.

We do not use the data we collect for behavioural profiling, cross-site tracking, ad personalisation, demographic targeting, or any purpose not listed above.

5. How long we keep things

  • Leaderboard entries: retained while the site operates. You can request removal at any time by sending us the game name, the handle that submitted the score, and an approximate date.
  • Ratings (thumbs up/down): retained while the site operates; rows include a hashed IP only.
  • Play counts and daily-challenge attempts: aggregated by date, not by user. Retained indefinitely as anonymous totals.
  • Contact form messages: retained for up to 90 days from submission, then deleted unless an active conversation is ongoing or we are required to retain them for a legal reason.
  • Hashed IP addresses: hash rotates daily; old hashes have no meaning after 24 hours.
  • Server logs: rotated by the hosting platform on a standard schedule (typically 14–30 days).

6. Advertising and third-party recipients of data

The site is supported by display advertising. Our advertising partners receive limited technical data (IP address, page URL, basic device information) when their tags load on a page you visit. Current partners and their role:

  • Google LLC — Google AdSense (ad delivery) and Google's Privacy & Messaging consent tool. Google acts as an independent service provider and third-party data controller for the data their tags collect. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy; Google's documentation of child-directed treatment is at support.google.com/admanager/answer/9004919.

Because the site is tagged child-directed at the AdSense account level, Google applies child-directed treatment to every ad request from this site. This restricts advertising to non-personalised by default: ads are based on the page you are looking at, not on a profile of your behaviour. This protection applies to every visitor — not only those under 13.

Our advertising partners may still set technical cookies necessary to deliver, cap and measure individual ad impressions; this is industry-standard and is allowed under both COPPA child-directed treatment and the limited-data-processing modes offered by major ad networks.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with advertisers for cross-context behavioural advertising. We have no financial relationship that involves the exchange of personal information for value.

7. Cookies and consent

Cookies set by this site directly: none.

Cookies set by third-party advertising partners (Google AdSense and any future replacement partner): technical cookies to deliver and frequency-cap ads. Because the site is child-directed, behavioural / personalised-advertising cookies are disabled by default.

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region requiring affirmative cookie consent, you will see a consent prompt before any non-essential cookies are placed. This is managed via Google's Privacy & Messaging consent tool, a Google-certified Consent Management Platform that supports the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF v2.3). You can change your consent at any time using the small consent link in the footer.

You can clear all cookies and local storage at any time through your browser's settings. Doing this will reset your favourites and the leaderboard handle stored on this site.

8. Children's data — COPPA

Fun Clicker is treated as child-directed under the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), as amended by the FTC Rule effective 22 April 2026. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in the sense covered by the Rule. Our COPPA compliance approach is:

  • No registration, no email collection, no real-name collection, no date-of-birth collection — from anyone, not just under-13s.
  • Leaderboards use auto-generated handles only. There is no user-typed name field, which means the leaderboard cannot collect a child-chosen identifier that could function as personal information under the amended Rule.
  • Advertising partners receive child-directed treatment signals on every ad request.
  • Geolocation is not collected. No biometric data is collected. No behavioural profiling is performed.
  • The site does not use nudge techniques or dark patterns to push consent or data collection.
  • We apply the "best interests of the child" standard as a guiding principle for every design decision that touches data.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a child has submitted information through the contact form, or you wish to remove a leaderboard entry submitted from a device used by your child, please email us via the contact form. We will action verified parental requests within 30 days, as required by COPPA.

9. Your US privacy rights

9.1 California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) you have the right to: know what personal information we collect; delete personal information we hold; correct inaccurate personal information; opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising; limit use of sensitive personal information; and not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising — child-directed treatment is enabled site-wide, which suppresses that category of processing. We do not collect sensitive personal information. To exercise any right, use the contact form; we respond within 45 days as required by the CCPA.

9.2 Other US states with consumer privacy laws

If you are a resident of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Tennessee, Delaware, Iowa, Indiana, Florida, Montana or another US state that grants similar rights (access, deletion, correction, portability, opt-out of targeted advertising, opt-out of sale), you may exercise them via the contact form. We treat these requests under the same process as CCPA requests and respond within 45 days. Where a specific state law sets a shorter response deadline we will meet that deadline.

9.3 Children's rights (federal — COPPA)

Parents and guardians of children under 13 have specific rights under COPPA: to review the personal information we have collected from their child, to require deletion of that information, and to refuse further collection. As noted in section 8 our data collection from children is minimal by design. To exercise a parental right under COPPA, contact us via the contact form; we respond within 30 days.

10. International visitors (EU / EEA / UK)

Fun Clicker is a US-based business. If you access the site from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR (as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025) apply to the limited personal data we process about you. Your rights include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent and the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (the UK Information Commissioner's Office or your national EU data-protection authority).

Our lawful bases for processing (per UK / EU GDPR Article 6) mirror the purposes in section 4: legitimate interests for scores, ratings, play counts and abuse-prevention; consent for contact form submissions and for non-essential cookies set by advertising partners (collected via the consent prompt described in section 7); legal obligation where retention is mandated.

To exercise any right, use the contact form; we respond within one month as required by GDPR / UK GDPR.

11. International transfers

The site is hosted in the United States, where the business operator is also based. If you are located outside the US, the limited data we process (hashed IP, leaderboard handle, contact form content) is transferred to and processed in the US. We rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and equivalent transfer mechanisms where applicable. Our advertising partners may process data in their own jurisdictions; this is covered by their published transfer mechanisms.

12. Security

We use prepared SQL statements, server-side input validation, HTTPS across the whole site, and a daily-rotating IP hash. Passwords are not stored because we do not have user accounts. Reasonable technical and organisational measures are in place to protect the limited data we do hold, but no internet transmission is 100% secure.

13. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where the change is significant, we will surface a notice on the homepage for at least 30 days. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

14. Contact

For any privacy question, data request, deletion request, complaint or correction, please use our contact form or email [email protected]. We aim to respond to all enquiries within 7 working days. Formal data-subject requests are fulfilled within the timelines required by law (45 days under CCPA, 30 days under COPPA, one month under GDPR / UK GDPR).
