Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. Here is how the Cosmic Chicken Arcade handles your information.
1. Information We Collect
The Cosmic Chicken Arcade is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal information — and importantly, we do not collect any personal data such as names, email addresses, or payment details. The platform operates without requiring account registration. The only data we rely on is stored locally on your device through your web browser. This includes localStorage data used for age verification (confirming that you have acknowledged the 18+ requirement) and for storing your game scores, streaks, and progress within our games. This information never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. We do not build user profiles or maintain databases of visitor information. Our approach is deliberately minimal because we believe entertainment platforms should respect user privacy by default.
2. Cookies and Local Storage
We use browser localStorage rather than traditional cookies for core functionality. Local storage allows us to remember your age verification status so you are not repeatedly asked to confirm, and to save your game progress so you can pick up where you left off. These are functional requirements that enhance your experience. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics that would monitor your behaviour across the web. Our use of browser storage is limited to what is necessary to run the games and respect your age verification choice. For more details, please see our Cookie Policy.
3. How We Use Information
Since we do not collect personal data or transmit user information to our servers, there is nothing for us to "use" in the traditional sense. The data stored in your browser — age confirmation and game scores — remains on your device and is used solely by the games you play. We do not analyse, process, or share this data. We do not use it for marketing, profiling, or any other purpose. Our platform architecture ensures that your entertainment remains private. If you contact us through our contact form, we will use the information you provide only to respond to your enquiry and will not add it to any mailing list or database without your consent.
4. Third Parties
We do not share your information with third parties. We do not use third-party advertising networks, data brokers, or analytics services that would track or profile our visitors. The Cosmic Chicken Arcade is a standalone entertainment site that operates without external data partnerships. Your visit to chickenroadblog.com does not result in your data being sold, traded, or disclosed to any other organisation. We believe this approach aligns with our commitment to providing a simple, transparent, and privacy-respecting experience.
5. Data Security
Because we do not collect or store personal data on our servers, the exposure surface for data breaches is minimal. The information that does exist — your age verification status and game progress — resides only in your browser's local storage on your own device. We encourage you to use a secure device and to be mindful of shared computers; clearing your browser data will reset age verification and game progress, but no sensitive personal information is at risk. Our website uses standard HTTPS encryption for all connections, ensuring that any communication between your browser and our server is protected. We take reasonable technical measures to keep our platform secure and operational.
6. Children's Privacy
The Cosmic Chicken Arcade is an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18. Our age verification gate is designed to ensure that only visitors who confirm they are 18 or older can access the games. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has accessed our platform and provided information, please contact us immediately. We are committed to responsible entertainment and to protecting younger users from content intended for adults. Our platform is not designed for, nor directed at, children.
7. New Zealand Privacy Act (NZPA)
We operate in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (NZPA) and its Information Privacy Principles. Under the NZPA, you have the right to access any personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, and to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner if you believe your privacy has been interfered with. Given our minimal data collection practices, we hold virtually no personal information. If you have exercised our contact form, we may retain your message and contact details only for as long as necessary to respond. You may contact us at any time to enquire about the information we hold or to request its deletion. We take our obligations under New Zealand law seriously and strive to uphold the highest standards of privacy protection.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make changes, we will update the date at the bottom of this page. For material changes, we may display a notice on the website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Cosmic Chicken Arcade after any updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We remain committed to transparency and will never introduce practices that diminish your privacy without clear communication.
9. Contact
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through our Contact page. We are happy to clarify our practices and to address any concerns. The Cosmic Chicken Arcade team is dedicated to maintaining your trust and providing a privacy-respecting entertainment experience.
