This Privacy Policy explains how Vahovschi Arcade, the blog at vahovschi.website about retro games and classic arcade games on mobile phones, collects, uses and protects personal information. The website is operated by ALEXANDR VAHOVSCHI, 40 Stratford Villas, LONDON, NW1 9SG, United Kingdom, who is responsible for the processing of your personal information.

We aim to handle your information in line with applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) and other relevant US state privacy laws, as well as the UK GDPR where it applies.

Information we collect

Contact form: when you use the contact form on the Contact page, we collect your name, email address, an optional phone number if you choose to provide it, and the content of your message.

Technical data: when you visit the website, our hosting infrastructure automatically records technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system information, the pages requested, and the date and time of access. This data is stored in server logs.

Cookie notice choice: we use one strictly necessary cookie to remember that you have acknowledged the cookie notice.

How we use your information and legal bases

We use contact form data to read and respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering messages and, where relevant, steps taken at your request.

We use technical data and server logs to operate the website, keep it secure, prevent abuse and fix errors. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure and functional website.

We use the strictly necessary cookie to remember your cookie notice choice, which is required to provide the service you request.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Data retention

We keep contact form messages only as long as needed to handle your inquiry and any follow-up correspondence, and then delete them unless a longer period is required by law. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting and are then deleted or anonymized. The cookie notice cookie remains in your browser until it expires or you delete it.

Sharing with service providers

We share personal information only with service providers who help us run the website, such as our hosting provider and a content delivery network or security provider that protects the website and delivers its pages. These providers process data on our behalf and only for these purposes. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and the security of the website.

International transfers

The website operator is based in the United Kingdom, and our service providers may process data in the United States, the United Kingdom or other countries. Where personal information is transferred across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by our providers, such as standard contractual clauses, where required by applicable law.

Advertising

This website may be promoted through online advertising, for example through Google Ads. The website itself does not place advertising cookies or use analytics or tracking cookies.

Advertising platforms that show ads for this website process data under their own privacy policies and are responsible for that processing. You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com or learn more about opting out of interest-based advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to access it, to correct it, to delete it, to receive a copy in a portable format, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

To exercise your rights, email us at [email protected] or use the contact form on the Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections and security services provided by our hosting and security providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot ensure absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be published on this page, and significant changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
