Our Site
++ Rather than a policy about how we're going to protect the data + we gather about you, we've got a simpler plan: Our privacy + policy is that personal privacy is mostly good, so we'll try + as hard as we can to not gather data about you. + We'd also like to help you defuse and poison other tracking + services. +
+Log Data
++ We do basic logging of HTTP requests in order to help maintain + our site - fix broken links, block spammers, and so on. These + logs look like +
+78.55.123.218 - - [03/Sep/2014:13:45:06 +0000] "GET /heroik/heroik.html HTTP/1.1" 200 1616 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0"+
+ They contain your IP, the URL you visited, when you visited
+ it, what browser you were using, and (sometimes) where you
+ came from. This is stuff your browser sends to every site you
+ visit, always. If you think it's too much information, most
+ browsers have some way to stop sending so much - for example,
+ in Firefox you can set network.http.sendRefererHeader
to
+ false
and install User Agent Switcher.
+
+ We host our own email service. Email sent to yuu at + yukkurigames.com + does not go through GMail on our end. + +
+Cookie Policy
++ We don't use cookies or anything like cookies to track you. +
++ We use extremely short-lived cookies to prevent + request forgery. These don't contain any identifying + information and they self-destruct after a few seconds. +
++ For long-term data we use HTML5 + localStorage + and other similar client-side storage. This gives you + the benefits of cookies, plus your data is never sent to the + server, so there's nothing to secure. +
+Security
++ We don't track any user data via this site, so we have no + special databases to secure. +
++ If you are concerned about your connection being intercepted + by someone else, we offer + HTTPS for our main domain. We would like to offer it + for more, but the CA racket means we can't afford it. + In the future we hope CAs are replaced by something like + Convergence so cheap + security is available for everyone, but right now it doesn't + work reliably. +
+Third-Party Links
++ Because this is the web, we link to other sites. Some of our + games are only available from other sites, because trading + money for games requires handling at least a little personal + data. We'd rather that be done by people good at doing it. +
++ Most of these sites don't care about your privacy. Sometimes + at least they'll be providing you a useful service in exchange + for surveilling you, but usually they're willing to sell you + out to a dozen firms via Google in exchange for a pretty bar + graph. +
++ We think it's awful, too. Sorry. +
++ To protect yourself on these sites, we recommend you use + tools to help you browse the web safely and securely. One + straightforward and reliable one is + Disconnect. + PRISM Break has more suggestions, + though it's unfortunately-named because this problem neither + begins nor ends with the PRISM program or state surveillance. +
+Other Stuff We Don't Do That You Should Push Other Sites To Also Not Do
+-
+
- + We don't run Google Analytics or Cloudfront Analytics or + Cloudflare Clicky or any of that garbage. Even if a site + needs to collect data for its own operation, these services + also feed that data into even larger and more troubling + corporate databases. + +
- + We don't use Google's fonts; we host them ourselves. Most Wordpress blogs are helping Google track their readers and they don't even know it. At + the very least, demand a cut of Google's revenue if you're + going to work for them. + +
- + We don't put stock "share" buttons on our site. Aside from + being useless eyesores these + buttons are used by social media companies to track you on + other sites. Tools like EFF's Privacy Badger and Disconnect can + help block these on other sites. + +
- + We don't minify or obfuscate most files — HTML, CSS, + or JavaScript — we serve. This means it's easy for you + to check what we're doing with just your browser. + +
Changes
++ We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Since + this document is stored in our site's Git repository, you can easily track these changes. +
