Article 1 — General Provisions and Purpose of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is established and disclosed to protect the personal information of users and to handle any grievances related thereto promptly and smoothly. By accessing or using Soobang Games (available at soobanggames.org), you acknowledge and agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy. This policy applies to all pages and services offered on our website, including the AI Unconscious Balance Game, the Egen/Teto Test, blog articles, and all supporting pages.

Article 2 — Information We Collect and How We Collect It

Soobang Games is designed with privacy by default. The following describes the minimal data we collect:

• Game choice data: When you play the AI Unconscious Balance Game or take the Egen/Teto Test, your answers (A or B choices) are processed locally in your browser. Aggregated, fully anonymized choice statistics may be stored in our Firebase Firestore database to show community-wide voting trends. No individual user can be identified from this data.
• Browser local storage: Your game results may be temporarily saved in your browser's local storage so you can review your result after the session. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Analytics data: We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymized usage data such as page views, session duration, device type, and approximate geographic region (country level). This data does not identify individual users.
• Advertising data: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

We do not collect: names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, payment information, social security numbers, or any other information that could directly identify you as an individual.

Article 3 — Purpose of Data Use

The limited data we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• To operate and improve the psychological analysis games and tests on our platform
• To display aggregated community statistics (e.g., "X% of players chose this option") within the game
• To analyze overall site usage patterns and improve user experience
• To display relevant advertisements that help support the free operation of this service
• To detect and prevent technical errors and security issues

Article 4 — Cookie Policy

Soobang Games uses cookies in a limited capacity. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use cookies for the following purposes:

Article 6 — Data Retention

Soobang Games retains anonymized, aggregated game data indefinitely to maintain historical voting statistics displayed within the game. This data contains no personally identifiable information. Browser local storage data (your individual game result) is retained until you clear your browser data or the data expires naturally. Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics for up to 14 months by default.

Article 7 — Your Rights

Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, most traditional data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure) are not applicable in the conventional sense. However, you retain the following rights:

• Right to clear local data: You can clear your browser's local storage at any time through your browser settings to remove any locally stored game results.
• Right to opt out of personalized ads: You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's Ad Settings page.
