Welcome to UI Ludo Star (the “Game”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We operate the website accessible at https://uiludostar.netlify.app/ (the “Site”) and provide a digital Ludo strategy game experience (collectively, the “Service”). Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal information when you access or interact with our Service. It also informs you of your rights and choices regarding your information.
By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not use the Service.
We collect various types of information in connection with the Service. The categories of information we may collect include:
Contact Information: If you contact us via email (e.g., for support, feedback, or inquiries), we collect your email address and any other information you choose to include in your message.
Game Preferences (if applicable): In the future, if we add user accounts or in-game settings, we may collect preferences you set, such as sound settings, avatar choices, or game mode selections.
Payment Information: If we introduce a paid “Upgrade to remove this banner” option or in‑app purchases, payment details will be processed by a third‑party payment processor (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). We do not store or have access to your full payment card numbers.
When you visit the Site or interact with the Game, we automatically collect certain technical and usage data:
Device and Browser Information: IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type and version, operating system, device model, screen resolution, language settings, and time zone.
Usage Data: Pages visited, time and date of access, time spent on each page, clickstream data (the sequence of clicks), interactions with the “Upgrade” banner, and ad impressions.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, local storage, and web beacons to remember your preferences (e.g., whether you dismissed the upgrade banner) and to analyze usage patterns. For more details, see Section 5 (Cookies and Tracking Technologies).
Game Analytics: If the Game includes interactive gameplay (e.g., dice rolls, moves), we may collect anonymized game telemetry to improve balance, detect bugs, and enhance user experience. This data does not personally identify you.
We may receive information about you from third-party services integrated into the Site, such as:
Advertising Networks: Ad networks may provide us with aggregated reports on ad performance but do not share personally identifiable information.
Analytics Providers: Services like Google Analytics give us insights into user demographics and interests based on cookies; this information is aggregated and pseudonymized.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To Provide and Maintain the Service: Ensure the Site and Game function correctly, load quickly, and remain secure.
To Improve and Personalize: Analyze usage trends to optimize game design, fix bugs, and tailor content (e.g., showing relevant ads or upgrade offers).
To Serve Advertisements: Display “Sponsored Ad” banners and other advertising to support the free‑to‑play nature of the Service. Ad personalization may be based on your interests inferred from your activity across websites.
To Manage the Upgrade Feature: Store a local preference when you choose to remove the banner (if a paid upgrade is implemented, we will process payment through a secure third party).
To Communicate with You: Respond to your inquiries, send important service updates, or notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy.
To Protect Our Rights and Prevent Fraud: Monitor for abusive behavior, cheating, or attacks; enforce our terms; and comply with legal obligations.
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other regions with similar data protection laws, we rely on the following legal bases:
Consent: For optional cookies, marketing communications, and certain types of data sharing, we ask for your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Legitimate Interests: For essential cookies, analytics, ad delivery, and fraud prevention, we rely on our legitimate interests to operate the Service and improve it, provided such interests do not override your privacy rights.
Contractual Necessity: If you contact us for support, we process your information to fulfill your request (i.e., to perform a contract with you).
Legal Obligation: We may process data to comply with applicable laws, such as responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze usage, and deliver relevant advertising. Below is a detailed breakdown:
Cookie Category
Purpose
Examples
Strictly Necessary
Required for the Site to function (e.g., security, load balancing).
Session cookies, authentication tokens (if any).
Preference / Functionality
Remember your choices (e.g., dismissed upgrade banner).
Local storage flag for “upgrade_removed”.
Analytics / Performance
Collect anonymous statistics about how visitors use the Site.
Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid).
Advertising / Targeting
Track your browsing habits to show relevant ads on this and other sites.
Cookies set by ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense).
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, if you disable all cookies, some features of the Service may not work properly (e.g., the upgrade banner may reappear each visit).
For advertising cookies, you can opt out of interest‑based advertising from many networks by visiting:
YourAdChoices (US): https://www.aboutads.info/choices/
Your Online Choices (EU): https://www.youronlinechoices.com/
Additionally, you can enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in supported browsers to signal your opt‑out preferences.
The Service is supported by advertisements. The “Sponsored Ad” banner is served by third‑party ad networks that may use cookies to display personalized ads. We do not share personal information directly with advertisers, but the ad networks may independently collect data through their own technologies.
The “Upgrade to remove this banner” feature currently stores a local preference in your browser; no payment is collected. If we later introduce a paid upgrade, we will use a PCI‑DSS compliant payment processor (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) and update this Privacy Policy accordingly. Any payment information will be governed by the processor’s privacy policy.
We use reputable third‑party service providers to help us operate the Service. These providers have access to your information only to perform tasks on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect your data.

We do not sell your personal information. However, the use of advertising cookies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws (e.g., California CCPA). You can opt out as described in Section 5.2.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information:
Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our Site is encrypted using TLS/SSL (HTTPS).
Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to server logs and analytics, and they are trained on data protection.
Regular Audits: We review our security practices periodically and update them as needed.
Despite these efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy:
Log Data: Server logs and analytics data are retained for up to 26 months (or as defined by our analytics providers) for trend analysis and security.
Contact Inquiries: Emails and support requests are retained for as long as needed to resolve the inquiry, and for a reasonable period thereafter (typically 1 year) in case of follow‑up.
Local Storage / Cookies: Cookie expiration varies; preference cookies may persist for up to 2 years. You can delete them at any time via your browser settings.
Payment Information (if applicable): Processed by third parties; we do not store payment data.
After retention periods expire, we anonymize or delete the data.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right to Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): Request deletion of your data, subject to legal exceptions.
Right to Restrict Processing: Limit how we use your data while we verify its accuracy or consider your objections.

Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw any consent you have given (e.g., for optional cookies) at any time.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@uiludostar.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by law (usually 30 days). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
California (CCPA/CPRA): California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, disclose, or “share” for cross‑context behavioral advertising. You also have the right to opt out of such sharing (see Section 5.2). We do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Brazil (LGPD): You have rights including confirmation of processing, access, anonymization, and portability. You may contact our Data Protection Officer at the email above.
Canada (PIPEDA): We obtain your consent before collecting, using, or disclosing your personal information, except where otherwise permitted by law.
Australia (Privacy Act): You can request access to or correction of your personal information.
The Service is hosted in the United States (Netlify’s data centers) and may be served from various global edge locations. If you are accessing the Service from outside the US, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the US or other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws different from your jurisdiction.
For transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to the US, we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, as well as other appropriate safeguards provided by our vendors (e.g., Netlify, Google). By using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to such transfers.
The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at privacy@uiludostar.com. We will take steps to delete such information from our records.
Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Currently, there is no uniform standard for how to respond to DNT signals. Therefore, we do not currently respond to DNT signals. However, we respect your privacy choices through the cookie consent and opt‑out mechanisms described in this policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will post the revised policy on this page with a new “Effective Date.” If the changes are material, we may provide additional notice (such as a banner on the Site or an email notification). Your continued use of the Service after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
