Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how TechGrapple Emulators collects, uses, and protects information when you use this website.
1. What this website does
This website lets visitors play Flash and retro games in the browser. Game files that you upload yourself are processed in your browser for playback on the site. This site also uses Google Analytics and Google AdSense. Consent choices for visitors in supported regions are handled through the cookie and privacy banner used on the site, including European and California-focused consent messaging where applicable.
2. Information we may collect
- Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, pages viewed, approximate location, referring page, and time spent on pages.
- Cookie and local storage preferences connected to analytics, advertising, player settings, consent choices, and site functionality.
- Standard server or hosting logs such as IP address, request path, date and time, and diagnostic information needed to keep the service working and secure.
3. Game uploads and files
When you upload a game file yourself on this version of the site, the file is intended to be handled in the browser so it can be played without first being uploaded to a site-owned application server. You should only upload files that you have the right to use. Do not upload unlawful, harmful, or malicious content.
4. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website, improve performance, and measure interest in pages and features. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure visits, sessions, engagement, and related site usage signals.
You can learn more about Google Analytics privacy and controls here: Google Analytics privacy information, GA4 cookie usage on websites, and the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
5. Google AdSense and advertising cookies
We use Google AdSense to show ads on this site. Google and its partners may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to serve ads, limit repetition, measure ad performance, and personalize advertising where permitted by law and user consent choices. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
More information is available here: AdSense privacy policy requirements, How AdSense uses cookies, and Google advertising technologies.
6. Consent choices for visitors in Europe, the UK, Switzerland, and California
Where required, we ask for consent before using certain cookies or before processing data for personalized advertising or analytics. If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, your consent choices may be collected and stored through the consent banner or consent management platform shown on the site. If you are in California or another region with applicable privacy rights, the privacy and cookie message used on the site may offer choices or disclosures relevant to those laws.
You can learn more about Google’s consent-related requirements here: EU User Consent Policy guidance, Google consent management requirements, and privacy policy URL guidance for consent messages.
7. Your choices
- You can refuse or change cookie choices through the consent banner or privacy controls shown on this site where available.
- You can also manage cookies in your browser settings.
- You can use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on if you do not want your activity used by Google Analytics in supported browsers.
8. Data sharing
We may share data with service providers and partners that help operate the site, including hosting providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, and consent-management tools, but only as needed for those services or as required by law.
9. Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect the website and the information used to operate it. No system can guarantee absolute security, so you should avoid uploading anything confidential or sensitive through gameplay tools.
10. Children
This site is intended for a general audience. Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately can contact the site owner to request review or deletion where applicable.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and may update the effective date above.
