Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Wandering Nurse Games ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit thewanderingnurseblog.com (the "Site"). We wrote this in plain English wherever possible.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide directly
The Site does not require an account to access any game or article. If you choose to send us a message through our contact page, you provide your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this information only to respond to you.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our servers and third-party services may automatically receive:
- Your IP address and approximate geographic location
- Your browser type, operating system, and device type
- The pages you visit on the Site and the time spent on each
- The referring URL that brought you to the Site
This is standard web server log information and aggregated usage analytics. We use it to understand which content is popular, diagnose problems, and improve the Site.
Information stored on your device
Some games save high scores, best times, and preferences in your browser's localStorage. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can delete it any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies for three purposes: essential site functionality, analytics, and advertising. Our full Cookie Policy describes each category in detail and explains how to opt out.
3. Advertising
The Site is supported by display advertising. We use Google AdSense and may use other advertising networks. These networks use cookies and web beacons to serve ads that they believe are relevant to you based on your browsing activity on this site and elsewhere.
Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's advertising policies. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or, in the United States, the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.
4. Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or similar services to understand how the Site is used. These services set cookies that record anonymous usage data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
5. How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:
- Service providers. Hosting, CDN, analytics, and advertising partners process information on our behalf under their own privacy policies.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or valid legal process.
- Business transfers. If the Site is acquired, information may transfer as part of that transaction.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including access, correction, deletion, and objection. If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a U.S. state with a comprehensive privacy law (such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, or Virginia), these rights are additionally protected by local statute. To exercise any right, email hello@thewanderingnurseblog.com.
7. Children
The Site is a general-audience games website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA). If you are a parent and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
8. Security
We use commercially reasonable measures to protect the information we hold. The Site is served over HTTPS. No method of transmission over the internet is perfectly secure.
9. Data retention
Server logs: up to 12 months. Analytics data: per the analytics service's settings, typically 14 to 26 months. Contact-form messages: up to 24 months after the conversation ends.
10. International transfers
The Site is hosted in the United States. If you access it from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries.
