Cookies and Similar Technologies
itchiogamesbox.com may rely on cookies and comparable tools to keep core features working, remember some of your settings, understand how people use the Site and support analytics or advertising.
A cookie is a small file your browser keeps on your device. Most browsers let you block or clear cookies in their settings. Turning some cookies off may limit how certain parts of the Site behave.
Analytics
We may work with third-party analytics tools to see how visitors use the Site overall and how well it performs. Such tools may record the pages you view, your approximate location, device and browser details and how you interact with content.
These providers handle data under their own privacy policies and terms. We do not use analytics data to single out individual visitors except where a specific legitimate need requires it.
Advertising
Ads on the Site may be supplied by outside advertising networks. Those providers may use cookies, pixels, device data or similar methods to serve, tailor, measure or cap the ads you see.
Advertising partners act on their own and follow their own privacy policies. We have no control over how independent ad networks handle information.
Third-Party Links and Services
Pages on the Site may point to outside websites, game platforms, developers, publishers, social networks, advertising services and other external resources.
When you leave itchiogamesbox.com for another service, the privacy policy and terms of that service apply. We are not responsible for how third-party websites protect, handle or present data or content.
Browser-Playable Game Content
Some pages give access to titles that run in the browser or include embedded game features. Depending on how this content is delivered, outside services may process technical data about your browser or device.
Hosts of embedded titles, third-party platforms and related services may follow their own privacy rules. Where it matters to you, we suggest reading the policies of those services.
Information You Send to Us
If you write to us at [email protected] or through another available channel, we may keep the contents of your message as long as reasonably needed to reply, keep records, settle disputes or meet legal duties.
Please leave out sensitive personal details unless your request truly depends on them.
How We Protect Information
We use reasonable measures intended to guard information handled through the Site against unauthorized access, misuse, changes or disclosure.
Still, no website, server, transfer method or storage system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise complete protection for data sent over the Internet.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes in this policy, to run the Site, handle requests or disputes, meet legal requirements or protect our legitimate interests.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is meant for a general audience and is not aimed specifically at children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from children where applicable law forbids it.
If you think a child has shared personal information with us in breach of applicable law, please let us know so we can look into it and respond appropriately.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, the law may give you rights over your personal information, such as asking to see, correct, delete or restrict it, or to learn how it is processed.
Whether these rights apply depends on the relevant law and the details of your request. To send a privacy request, use our Contact page or email [email protected].
International Visitors
People reach itchiogamesbox.com from many countries, so data linked to your visit may be processed or stored outside your home country.
Where the law requires it, we treat such personal information in line with the applicable privacy and data-protection rules.

We may revise this policy when our practices, services, technology or legal duties change. The new version will appear on this page and takes effect on the date it is posted unless stated otherwise.
