Privacy Policy

The short version

• You do not need an account, an email address or a download to play.
• There are no advertising networks and no cross-site tracking scripts on this site.
• The only personal data we hold is what you type into the comment box, and the aggregated visitor statistics described below.

If that is all you needed to know, you can go back and play — the rest of this page is the detail.

Who runs this site

Stratego.win is an independent, fan-made page for playing the classic board game in a browser. It is run by one small team, and every privacy question goes to the same place: support@stratego.win.

What we do not collect

No accounts and no passwords, because there is nothing to sign in to. No payment details, because nothing here is sold. No uploaded files, no address book, no contacts, no precise location from your device. We do not build visitor profiles, and we do not sell, rent or share data with data brokers.

What is collected

Comments

If you post a comment you write a message, and you may add a display name — it is optional. The hosting platform stores the message, the name you gave and the time it was posted so that the comment can be shown to other visitors and to you. To keep spam, automated posting and abuse out, the server also records ordinary technical request information with each comment, such as the IP address and the browser it came from. Comments are public: anyone who opens the page can read them, so please do not put anything private in one.

Visitor statistics

We use the analytics that come with the platform this site runs on. It reports aggregated numbers: how many people opened a page, which pages were opened, where visitors came from (a search engine, a link, or directly), device type and country. These figures are counts, not profiles — we cannot use them to identify you.

Storage in your own browser

The like button and the comment box remember your choice so the page does not forget it between visits. That information sits in your browser's local storage on your own device. Clearing site data for this domain removes it, and nothing breaks if you do.

Cookies

This site sets no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies. First-party cookies or local storage may be used by the visitor statistics and by the like button described above.

The game itself runs on someone else's server

The play area on the home page is not our code. It is an embedded copy of a browser version of the game, made by another developer and loaded from masteroftheflag.jayoogee.com inside an iframe. When you press start, your browser connects to that server, and whatever that game stores — a game in progress, a saved match, technical logs — is governed by its own practices, not by this policy. We cannot see or delete what it holds.

Two other things leave this site when you use them: the share buttons open X and Reddit in a new tab, and those sites apply their own privacy policies from the moment they load.

How long data is kept

Comments stay until they are removed, either because you ask us to or because they break the terms of use. Visitor statistics are kept by the hosting platform in aggregated form and are not tied to a name.

Your choices

Write to support@stratego.win and you can:

• ask what is stored about you, if anything;
• ask us to delete a comment you posted, no reason needed;
• ask us to correct something you got wrong when you posted it;
• ask a question about this policy before you post anything at all.

We can act on comments and on this site's own records. We cannot delete data held by the embedded game on its own domain — for that you would need to contact that developer.

Children

This is a general-audience game page, not a site aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Comments are public and we ask everyone, of any age, not to post personal details. A parent or guardian who finds a child's comment on this site can email us and we will remove it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. Material changes — a new kind of data, a new third party — will be described here in plain words rather than buried.

Contact

support@stratego.win handles privacy questions, deletion requests and complaints. It is the same address used for contact and copyright notices.
