Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 6, 2025

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data.

Data Collection

Website Analytics:
We use privacy-focused analytics powered by Umami hosted at analytics.stellarwhiskers.com to understand how our website is used and to improve user experience. This service collects anonymized website usage data including page views, scroll depth, time spent on pages, and general interaction patterns. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected, no cookies are used, and all data is anonymized. This analytics data helps us understand which content is most valuable to our visitors and how to improve our website.
Infrastructure Analytics:
We also use Cloudflare Analytics to monitor website performance and security. This service collects anonymized technical data to help us maintain website reliability.
Payments:
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. Stripe may collect and process your payment information according to their Privacy Policy.
Email Addresses:
If you choose to provide your email address on the front page, we use it solely to send updates about our games. We do not share or sell your email address to third parties.
Session Replay and Error Handling:
We use Highlight.io to collect session replays and error reports. This tool captures user interactions, browser errors, and technical logs to help improve the user experience and resolve technical issues. Sensitive user inputs are excluded to protect your privacy.
Cookies:
Our Umami analytics system does not use cookies or store any personal data in your browser. Cloudflare and Highlight.io may use minimal technical cookies for functionality. If we implement additional cookie usage, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

Data Usage

Data Protection

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@stellarwhiskers.com, and we will take steps to remove such data.

Opt-Out Options
