Last updated: December 22, 2025
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use GAME15.online (“we,” “us,” “our”) websites, games, and related services (the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.
Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the GAME15.online website and any experiences, features, or content we operate that link to this Policy.

- Device and Technical Data: We automatically collect technical data such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, language, time zone, IP address, and identifiers (e.g., device or advertising IDs where applicable).
- Usage Information: We collect information about how you use the Services, including pages viewed, features used, session timing, interactions, error events, and gameplay data (e.g., selected difficulty, game progress, completion time, and basic stats).

You can control cookies via your browser settings and our cookie banner where provided. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Why We Use Your Information (Purposes and Legal Bases)

- Improve and secure the Services (e.g., troubleshooting, analytics, testing, fraud prevention, quality assurance). Legal basis: legitimate interests.
- Communicate with you (e.g., respond to support requests, important notices). Legal basis: contract or legitimate interests; for optional updates, consent where required.
- Personalization and analytics (e.g., difficulty suggestions, performance insights). Legal basis: legitimate interests or consent where required by law.

Advertising and Personalization
We aim to minimize personal data collection. If we show ads, we may use contextual or, where permitted and consented, personalized advertising with identifiers such as advertising IDs and cookies. You can:
- Use the cookie banner (where available) to manage consent.
- Adjust your browser or device settings to limit ad tracking (e.g., “Limit Ad Tracking” or “Opt out of Ads Personalization”).
- Use industry tools available in your region (e.g., YourOnlineChoices, NAI/DAA in the U.S.).
How We Share Information
- Service Providers: Analytics, hosting, security, customer support, and similar vendors who process data on our behalf under contracts.
- Legal and Safety: To comply with law, protect rights and safety, and respond to lawful requests.
- Business Transfers: In connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset transfers, subject to this Policy or equivalent protections.
International Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries outside your residence. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to protect your data.
Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and maintaining service continuity. Where feasible, we de-identify or aggregate data. Unless a longer period is legally required, we aim not to retain personal data for more than five (5) years from collection for the relevant purpose. After deletion or anonymization, rights that depend on identifying the data (e.g., access or portability) can no longer be exercised on that data.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your personal data.
- Data portability, to receive your data in a machine-readable format.
Children’s Privacy
- The Services are suitable for all ages and core gameplay is accessible without creating an account.
- We aim to minimize the collection of personal data from children.
- Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use, especially if optional social or account features are introduced.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links
Our Services may link to third-party sites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies; we are not responsible for their content or practices.

We may update this Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will post the updated Policy with a new “Last updated” date and, where required, seek consent. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect signifies acceptance.

If we enable advertising, ad technology partners may use cookies, SDKs, or similar tools to deliver contextual or, where permitted and consented, personalized ads. You can opt out or manage preferences via our cookie banner and your device/browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for current partner lists.
