1. Our Commitment to Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
At Kid Worms (accessible from https://kidworms.com/), one of our core priorities is the privacy of our visitors, especially young children. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we do and do not collect and how we ensure a safe gaming environment.
We strictly comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable global data privacy regulations including GDPR-K and CCPA.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
We firmly believe children should be able to play games online without surveillance. We do NOT collect:
- First or last names of children
- Home addresses, street locations, or GPS coordinates
- Email addresses, phone numbers, or social media handles
- Photographs, voice recordings, or video data
- Credit card numbers, bank details, or payment information
3. Local Storage in Your Web Browser
Kid Worms utilizes your browser's native localStorage feature strictly to improve your gameplay experience. The following items are stored solely on your local device and are never sent to external servers:
- Your High Score: Allows the game to display your personal best trophy score.
- Selected Audio Volume: Remembers your preferred sound level.
- Graphics Quality Preference: Saves your chosen rendering quality (High, Medium, or Low).
- Equipped Hat & Skin: Remembers your chosen cosmetic customization.
You can clear this information at any time simply by clearing your browser's cookies and site data.
4. Analytics & Log Files
Like standard web servers, hosting providers may collect standard anonymous server log files (such as general internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps). This data is completely anonymous and used solely for monitoring website uptime, bandwidth, and preventing DDoS attacks.
5. In-Game Chat Policy
Kid Worms does not feature any chat room, private messaging, or open voice communication. Players cannot communicate with strangers while playing.
6. Parental Rights
Parents and legal guardians have the absolute right to review, request deletion of, or inquire about any operational details regarding their child's interaction with Kid Worms. Because we do not collect personal data, there is generally no personal child profile to delete, but we welcome all parental inquiries at privacy@kidworms.com.
