Privacy Policy

LAST UPDATED: [INSERT DATE BEFORE PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT]

1. Introduction

Shuffle21 (the "Site") is developed and operated by Project Research LLC ("Project Research LLC," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the Site stores, how it is used, and the choices available to you. The Site is an entertainment-only collection of classic card games and does not involve real-money gambling, deposits, withdrawals, or cash prizes.

2. Information Stored Locally

The Site uses your browser's localStorage to save certain preferences directly on your device so that gameplay works smoothly between visits. This may include:

• Your fictional play-money balance
• Sound on/off preference
• Reduced animation preference
• Solitaire draw-mode setting (Draw 1 or Draw 3)
• Spider Solitaire difficulty setting (1, 2, or 4 suits)
• Other local game preferences

This information is stored only in your own browser on your own device. It is not transmitted to Project Research LLC or any third party by the Site itself, and it remains on your device unless you clear your browser data, use a different browser or device, or otherwise reset it (for example, using the "Reset Play Money" control in Settings).

3. Server and Technical Data

No account is required to play the games on this Site. However, like virtually all websites, the Site is served through standard web hosting and network infrastructure. That infrastructure may automatically process basic technical data as part of normal operation and security, such as:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Device and operating system information
• Request timestamps
• Security and error logs

We do not claim that no information whatsoever can ever be collected by our web host or by intermediate network providers — that would not be an accurate description of how the internet works. This data is generally used only for security, abuse prevention, and basic operational purposes.

4. Cookies

The Site does not currently set its own tracking cookies. Your hosting provider or content delivery network may use strictly necessary cookies or equivalent technologies to operate the service. If that changes, this Policy will be updated accordingly.

5. Analytics

As of the "Last Updated" date above, the Site does not have analytics tooling implemented. Analytics (such as aggregate, privacy-conscious usage measurement) may be introduced in the future. If analytics are added, this Privacy Policy will be updated before deployment to describe what is collected and why.

6. Third-Party Services

The Site does not integrate any gambling-related APIs, payment processors, or financial services. If any third-party service is added in the future (for example, a hosting or security service), this Policy will be updated to reflect that integration.

7. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at collecting personal information from children. Since gameplay does not require an account and no personal information is collected by the Site itself, no personal data is knowingly gathered from children through normal use of the games.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable steps appropriate to a static entertainment website to help protect the information described above. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

10. Accessibility

This Privacy Policy is written and formatted to work with assistive technology, including screen readers and browser zoom, and to be navigable by keyboard alone. If any part of this policy is difficult for you to access or understand because of a disability, please contact us using the details below and we will work with you to provide the information in an alternative format. Our broader approach to accessibility across the Site is described in our Accessibility Statement.
