Privacy Policy

The short version

• You can read every page and play every game without creating an account.
• We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for targeted advertising.
• We never ask young players for personal information to play.
• The site does not currently run advertising. It uses Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are used.
• Ratings use one first-party cookie. Comments store the name and message you choose, plus an optional email that is never published.
• Games and videos are loaded from outside services only after you press Play, and those services handle data under their own policies.

Who is responsible

This website is run by PlaySnowRider3D. This policy applies to the website at playsnowrider3d.com, its rating feature, its comment feature and correspondence sent to the site. For any question or request about this policy, email contact@playsnowrider3d.com or visit the Contact page.

Information sent when you visit

Like every website, each page request sends technical information to our hosting provider: your IP address, the page address, the time of the request and standard browser headers such as browser type, language and the page that linked to us. This is needed to deliver the page, keep the site secure and fix problems.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare delivers the pages, protects the site against abuse and stores ratings and comments in a Cloudflare D1 database. Cloudflare processes request data under its own privacy terms, and its infrastructure can operate in several countries.

Analytics

We use two analytics services to understand how many people visit, which games and pages are popular, and whether pages load quickly. We use this information only in summary form to improve the site.

• Google Analytics. When a page loads, Google Analytics receives information such as the page you viewed, the page that sent you here, your browser and device type, your approximate location (country and region, worked out from your IP address) and how you move between pages. It sets cookies in your browser so it can tell new visits from returning ones; these are listed in our Cookie Policy. We have turned off Google signals and ad personalization, so this data is not used to show you ads. Google handles the data under Google’s Privacy Policy, and you can learn more on how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can block it with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by blocking cookies.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics. Cloudflare counts page views and measures page speed. It does not set cookies, does not use local storage and does not build a profile of you across visits.

Analytics never receives the comments you write, your comment email or your rating cookie.

Ratings

When you rate a game, we store the game, your score from one to five, a random browser identifier and the time of the vote. The identifier comes from the rating cookie described in our Cookie Policy. It lets you change your own vote without adding a second one. It is not linked to your name or email.

Visitors only see each game’s average score and the number of ratings. Individual votes and browser identifiers are never shown publicly. Deleting the cookie does not delete the vote you already cast.

Comments

When you send a comment, we store the game page, the name or nickname you enter, your message, the time it was sent, its review status and, if you choose to give one, an optional email address. Every comment waits for review before it can appear.

Approved comments show only the name, the message and the publication date. The optional email is never published and is only used if we need to reach you about your comment. Please do not write private details such as your full name, phone number, address or school in the name or message fields, because approved comments are public and can be copied or indexed by search engines.

Abuse protection

To stop spam and vote flooding, the rating and comment features apply short-term request limits. These limits use a key derived from your network address while a request is processed. Raw IP addresses are not saved in the ratings or comments tables.

Contacting us

If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach. We use it to answer you, look into the issue you report and keep a record of the conversation. Send only what we need. We will never ask for a password or payment details.

Games and videos from other services

Every game on this site is loaded from a separate game-hosting service. Nothing from the game loads until you press Play. Once it does, your browser connects directly to that service, which receives your IP address and browser details and may use cookies or local storage, for example to save sleds, gifts or best scores. Those services are not controlled by this website, and their own privacy terms apply to what happens inside the game.

Some game pages include a YouTube gameplay video. The video’s preview image is loaded from YouTube’s image server with the page. The video player itself only loads after you press its Play button and uses YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. After that, Google handles data as described in Google’s Privacy Policy.

How long information is kept

There is no automatic expiry configured for ratings or comments, including pending and rejected comments. They stay in the database until they are removed by the site’s administrator, for example after a deletion request. Emails stay in our mailbox until they are deleted. Clearing cookies or browser data removes information from your device only, not from our database or mailbox.

Who can see your information

Only the site’s administrator can see stored ratings, comment emails, unpublished comments and correspondence. Our hosting and email providers process this data so they can run their services. We may also disclose information when the law requires it, or when it is needed to stop abuse, protect someone’s safety or deal with a rights complaint.

Your choices and rights

You can use the site without rating, commenting or emailing. You can leave the email field empty, use a nickname, avoid pressing Play on a game or video, and block or clear cookies in your browser.

You can ask us to show, correct or delete information you gave us, such as a comment. Depending on where you live, including some US states, you may have further legal rights, such as the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to have it deleted. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, contact us and tell us the page, the comment name and the rough date so we can find the record. We may ask a question to confirm the request is yours. Because ratings are tied only to a browser cookie, we may not be able to find a rating after the cookie has been deleted.

Children

Snow Rider 3D is made for players of all ages, and anyone can play every game without giving us any personal information. Playing, reading and rating never ask for a name or email.

The comment form asks only for a name or nickname and a message; the email field is optional. We ask children under 13 to use a nickname, leave the email field empty and never write their real name, school, address or other personal details in a comment. Comments are reviewed before they appear, and we do not publish comments that contain a child’s personal information.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has sent us personal information, contact us with the page and comment details and we will delete it.

Security

Ratings and comments are checked on the server, limited in size and rate, and comments are reviewed before publication. No website can promise perfect security, so please report any privacy problem you notice through the Contact page.

Changes to this policy

If we add new features, such as advertising or user accounts, we will update this policy before or when they go live. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. See also our Cookie Policy and Terms of Use.
