Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 26, 2026 • Last Updated: September 9, 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy & Student Safety

At Steven's Classroom Games ("we", "our", or "the platform"), accessible from https://stevens.games, the privacy and digital security of our visitors—especially students, teachers, and parents—is our utmost priority.

This comprehensive Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that are received, collected, and utilized by Steven's Classroom Games, as well as how third-party advertising partners operate on our platform in compliance with global standards including COPPA, FERPA, GDPR, and CCPA.

Key Privacy Principles for Educators:

  • No student accounts, registrations, or passwords required.
  • No collection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as student names, home addresses, or phone numbers.
  • All game session stats, score counters, and canvas drawings are stored exclusively on the user's device via client-side HTML5 Local Storage.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike commercial game portals, Steven's Classroom Games operates a lightweight, privacy-by-design architecture. We do not maintain user account databases, do not solicit personal emails from children, and do not track individual student behavior across external websites. Students and teachers can immediately load and play all games without providing any personal credentials.

2. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Local Storage

HTML5 Local Storage

Our platform uses standard client-side HTML5 Local Storage strictly to save game preferences (such as sound effects volume, unlocked categories, and high scores). This data resides entirely on your device's browser and is never transmitted to our servers. You can erase this data at any time by clearing your browser cache and cookies.

Server Log Files

Like almost all standard web hosting environments, our servers automatically log generic request data such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. These logs are used solely to analyze technical performance, administer the site, diagnose server errors, and ensure infrastructure security. IP addresses are not linked to any personally identifiable information.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Policy

To keep this platform completely free for schools and educators worldwide, we display programmatic advertisements provided by trusted advertising networks, primarily Google AdSense.

Mandatory Google AdSense Policy Disclosures:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites across the Internet.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve relevant, safe advertisements to users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • Alternatively, users can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out Page.

You can also choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings. However, doing so may affect how you are able to interact with various features on this and other websites.

4. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) & FERPA

We are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of young children in educational environments. We strictly comply with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

5. European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you possess certain statutory data protection rights under GDPR. Because we do not collect personal profiles, our data processing is limited to anonymized telemetry and standard web server maintenance.

You have the right to request access to your data, request erasure, or object to processing. Where required by law, we request user consent for non-essential cookies via our consent management framework.

6. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to request what personal information is collected and request the deletion of personal information. Steven's Classroom Games does not sell any consumer personal information to third parties.
