Privacy Policy

We built teachmylittlesisterhowtodrivegame.com (the “Site”) as an independent fan project: guides, news and a collection of embedded browser games connected to Teach My Little Sister How To Drive. Running a website means some data passes through it, and this page sets out plainly which data that is, why it is needed, who else may see it and what you can do about it. The Site is run from the United States for a U.S. audience. Whenever this page says “we,” “us” or “our,” it refers to the people who operate the Site.

At a Glance

• No registration is required to read or play anything here.
• We never sell personal information in exchange for money.
• Like nearly every site, ours records basic technical details when pages load.
• Ad networks such as Google may place cookies to deliver and measure ads.
• Games in the catalog come from outside providers, which can use cookies of their own.
• Your browser settings and the opt-out links below let you limit tracking.

Technical Data From Your Visit

Opening a page sends a standard set of details from your browser to our host and to the tools that keep the Site running. Typically that means your IP address and a rough location worked out from it, the browser and operating system you use, the kind of device, the page that sent you here, which pages you open and when. We rely on these details to keep pages loading properly, see what content people find helpful, spot misuse and track down bugs.

We have no interest in working out who you are from these records, and we do not merge them with outside data to build a picture of you as an individual.

Messages You Send Us

Writing to us by email gives us your address, any name you sign with and the content of your message. We use that only to read your message, reply and keep track of the exchange. You will not be signed up for newsletters, and old messages are deleted once they are no longer needed.

Some pages may let visitors post ratings or comments. Whatever you publish there is visible to everyone, so leave out anything personal you would rather not share.

Cookies and Related Tools

A cookie is a small piece of text your browser saves on your device. Along with similar techniques such as local storage and tracking pixels, cookies help the Site and its partners remember your settings, count visits and run advertising. Some are created by the Site itself (first-party), and others come from external services (third-party).

You can review, block or clear cookies in the settings of most browsers. The guides stay readable without them, but certain features – embedded games or remembered preferences, for example – may stop behaving as intended.

Ads Served by Google and Other Partners

Advertising on the Site may come from Google AdSense and other ad networks. These outside vendors, Google among them, use cookies to choose ads based on the pages you have viewed here and on other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to tailor the ads you see according to your browsing on this Site and elsewhere online.

To switch off personalized ads from Google, open Google Ads Settings. Many other vendors can be opted out of through www.aboutads.info/choices or the Network Advertising Initiative page at optout.networkadvertising.org. Google explains how it treats information from partner websites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Opting out does not remove ads from the Site. It only means the ads you see will be less closely matched to your interests.

Visitor Statistics

We may run analytics software to learn how people arrive at the Site and what they do once here – which guides get the most readers, for instance, or how quickly pages load. Such tools use cookies or comparable methods and give us totals and trends rather than individual histories. We look at those numbers solely to make the Site better.

Games and Content From Other Providers

The games listed here are run by external providers and shown inside embedded frames on our pages. Once a game loads, its provider may collect technical data from your browser, set cookies and display its own ads. What they do with that data is covered by their privacy policies, not by this page. The same is true for any outside website we link to, such as a store listing or an official community page.

How Long We Keep Data

Server logs and statistics are held only for as long as they are reasonably useful for security, fixing problems and measuring traffic; after that they are deleted or reduced to anonymous totals. Emails are kept while we may still need them to answer you or follow up.

Children

The Site is meant for a general audience and is not aimed at children under 13. In line with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you are a parent or guardian and think your child has given us personal information, let us know and we will remove it.

Rights Under U.S. State Privacy Laws

Residents of states with consumer privacy laws – including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and Texas – may be entitled to learn what personal information about them is processed, receive a copy of it, have it corrected or deleted, and opt out of its sale or of sharing for targeted advertising.

In California, these rights come from the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. Advertising cookies placed by our partners may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under that law. You can opt out by changing your cookie settings, using the tools linked above or turning on a browser signal such as Global Privacy Control, which we honor as an opt-out request where the law requires it.

To submit a request, email us with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We may need to confirm your identity first, we will reply within the period the law sets, and using your rights will not affect how you are treated on the Site.

Keeping Information Safe

Pages are delivered over an encrypted connection, and we take reasonable care to protect the small amount of information we have. Still, no system for sending or storing data is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee complete protection.

Updates to This Policy

This page may change when the Site, our partners or the relevant laws change. The “Last updated” date near the top shows when it was last revised, and the current version applies whenever you use the Site after an update.
