1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Welcome to Synapselink ("we," "us," or "our"). Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy is designed to provide you with a clear and comprehensive understanding of what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have regarding your information when you use our website (the "Site") to play free online games.
Our core mission is to provide a fun and accessible gaming experience free of charge. To make this possible, we rely on advertising revenue. This policy explains how data is handled in a way that respects your privacy while allowing us to operate our Site.
By accessing and using Synapselink, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the data practices described herein.
2. The Information We Collect
We collect information to provide a better service to all our users. The information we collect is primarily technical and non-personally identifiable, meaning it does not directly identify you as an individual.
A. Information Collected Automatically
When you interact with our Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device and your usage of our services. This includes:
Log and Usage Data: Our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This data may include your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, your operating system, language preferences, the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site (referral URL), the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other similar statistics.
Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons (also known as pixel tags), and other tracking technologies to operate and improve our Site, and to facilitate advertising.
What are cookies? Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device's browser by a website you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, like your preferred language or game settings, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.
Types of Cookies We Use:
Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as navigating between pages.
Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us to know which games and pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Site.
Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used by us and our third-party advertising partners to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing and ensuring that ads are properly displayed.
3. How and Why We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for several key purposes, all aimed at providing you with a great, free gaming experience:
To Provide and Maintain Our Service: Your information helps us operate our Site, deliver the games you want to play, and ensure everything is working correctly.
To Improve and Personalize the Site: By analyzing how users interact with our Site, we can identify areas for improvement. We use aggregated data to understand which games are popular, how users navigate the site, and to fix any technical issues or bugs.
To Enable Advertising: Advertisements are our primary source of revenue and are what allow us to keep our games entirely free. The information collected helps us and our partners display ads that may be of interest to you. This model supports our ability to pay for server costs, maintenance, and the addition of new games.
For Security and Fraud Prevention: We use data to monitor for suspicious activity, protect against fraudulent use of our services, and enforce our Terms of Service, ensuring a safe environment for all players.
4. Advertising, Analytics, and Third-Party Services
To support our free gaming platform, we partner with third-party companies for advertising and analytics.

These companies may use their own cookies and tracking technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites to provide you with targeted advertising. We do not have access to or control over these third-party cookies. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.
