1. Who We Are
Charades4Kids.com ("we," "our," "us") operates the website accessible at https://charades4kids.com. We provide a free, online charades word generator designed exclusively for children aged 4–12 and the parents, guardians, and teachers who supervise them.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our website. If you have questions, please contact us.
2. Information We Collect
✅ Charades4Kids.com does not require registration, logins, or account creation. The generator works instantly, anonymously, and without collecting any personal information from users.
2a. Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us through our Contact page, you may provide your name and email address. This information is used solely to respond to your message and is never stored in a marketing database or shared with third parties.
2b. Automatically Collected Technical Data
When you visit our site, standard web servers may automatically log limited technical information, including:
- Your browser type and version
- Your device type (desktop, tablet, mobile)
- The pages you visit on our site and time spent
- Your approximate geographic region (country/state level only, not precise location)
- Referring URL (the page you came from)
This data is aggregated and anonymized. It is used only to understand how the site is used so we can improve it, and cannot be used to identify any individual user.
2c. Cookies
Charades4Kids.com uses only essential, functional cookies necessary for the game tool to operate correctly (for example, storing your timer preference for the current session). We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking cookies, or third-party retargeting cookies of any kind.
3. Children's Privacy — COPPA Compliance
⚠️ Charades4Kids.com is designed for use by children under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or teacher. We take our obligations under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) extremely seriously.
In compliance with COPPA:
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
- We do not require children to create accounts, provide email addresses, or submit any personal data to use our tool.
- We do not display behavioral advertising to any user, including children.
- We do not use third-party advertising networks that track children.
If a parent or guardian believes their child has inadvertently submitted personal information to us (for example, via the contact form), please contact us immediately and we will delete that information promptly, typically within 48 hours.
4. How We Use Information
The limited, anonymized technical data we collect is used exclusively to:
- Diagnose and fix technical errors on the website
- Understand which categories and features families find most useful
- Improve the performance and reliability of the generator
- Respond to contact form messages
We do not use any data collected from this website for advertising, marketing, profiling, or sale to any third party.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any user information with third parties, with the following narrow exceptions:
- Hosting provider: Our web host processes traffic logs as a standard function of serving our website. They are contractually prohibited from using this data for any independent purpose.
- Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
There are no other third parties with access to user data from Charades4Kids.com.
6. Analytics
If we use a web analytics tool to understand site traffic, we use it in a fully anonymized, cookieless configuration that does not collect IP addresses, device fingerprints, or cross-site tracking data. No personal profiles are built from analytics data collected on this site.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights including the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. Because we collect almost no personal data, these rights rarely apply in practice — but we honor them fully. To make a request, contact us and we will respond within 30 days.
Residents of California have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell personal information, so most CCPA provisions do not create additional obligations for us beyond what is described above.
8. Third-Party Links
Our site may occasionally reference external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
