PRIVACY POLICY

Updated October 2025

The Short Version

We don't collect your personal data. We don't track you across the internet. We don't sell information to third parties because we don't have information to sell. This privacy policy exists because legal norms dictate that websites should have one, but the reality is simple: Oxthorn operates with minimal data collection.

What We Actually Collect

Oxthorn uses browser local storage to remember one thing: whether you've verified your age. That's it. This information never leaves your device. It's not transmitted to our servers. It's not shared with anyone. It exists purely to prevent you from seeing the age verification popup on every visit.

When you use Oxthorn, temporary session data may be generated by your browser to facilitate the proper functioning of the games and interface. This session data is automatically cleared when you close your browser.

What We Don't Collect

We don't collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses because we don't require registration. We don't use tracking cookies or analytics platforms that monitor your behavior. We don't log your IP address for marketing purposes. We don't build user profiles. We don't create advertising IDs. We don't integrate with social media to track your activity.

Oxthorn doesn't employ the standard internet surveillance apparatus that most websites use. No heat maps tracking where you click. No session recordings watching how you interact with the site. No A/B testing that requires tracking individual users across visits.

Why So Little Data Collection?

Because we don't need it. Oxthorn is a straightforward platform: you visit, you play free games, you leave. There's no account system to manage, no purchases to process, no user-generated content to moderate, and no social features requiring persistent identity tracking.

The less data we collect, the less we have to secure, the fewer privacy concerns exist, and the simpler everything becomes for everyone involved. It's a win-win situation.

Third-Party Services

Oxthorn links to external organizations that provide gambling addiction support. When you click these links, you leave our platform and enter their domains, which operate under their own privacy policies. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for the privacy practices of these external sites.

Data Security

Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal data to breach. The age verification status stored in your browser's local storage is protected by your browser's security measures and your device's security, not by us. If you want to clear this data, use your browser's settings to delete site data or clear cookies and local storage.

Your Control

You have complete control over the minimal data associated with your use of Oxthorn. Clear your browser's cache and local storage to reset everything. Use private/incognito browsing mode if you don't want your browser to remember the age verification. It's all in your hands.

Children's Privacy

Oxthorn is for adults only. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18 because we don't collect personal data from anyone at all. Our age verification system is designed to prevent minors from accessing the platform in the first place.

International Usage

Oxthorn can be accessed globally. Since we don't collect personal data, there are no cross-border data transfer issues to worry about. The local storage used by your browser stays on your device regardless of your geographic location.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change our data collection practices, we'll update this policy and the effective date. Given our minimalist approach to data, significant changes are unlikely, but we reserve the right to modify this policy as needed.

Legal Requirements

In the unlikely event that we're legally compelled to provide information about Oxthorn users, we'd have very little to provide given our minimal data collection. We can't hand over data we don't have.

Questions

If you have questions about this privacy policy, re-read it. It's intentionally written in plain language to avoid confusion. If you're still unclear, the core message is: we collect almost nothing, we track almost nothing, and we share nothing.
