Who we are
PlayKora (“we”, “us”) operates the website playkora.com, a free browser-based games portal. For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR, we are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
Postal address and company registration details are published on request and must be completed by the site operator before launch. Data protection enquiries can be sent to privacy@playkora.com.
What we collect
We deliberately keep this list short. In normal use of the site we process:
| Data | Where it comes from | Stored where |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent record (your choices, a random consent ID, a salted hash of your IP address, your browser’s user-agent string, timestamp) | Created when you answer the cookie banner | Our database, and your browser |
| Anonymous play counts (which game was started, and on which day) | Generated when a game is launched | Our database, as a per-game total only |
| Server logs (IP address, requested URL, status code, user-agent, timestamp) | Automatically, by the web server | Our hosting infrastructure |
| Saved games, high scores and sound settings | Your own actions in the site and in games | Your browser only — never sent to us |
| Email content, if you write to us | You | Our mailbox |
We do not ask for your name, address, date of birth or payment details, and we do not operate user accounts. We do not sell personal data, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.
Why we process it, and on what legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Delivering the website and the games you request | Legitimate interests, art. 6(1)(f) — you asked for the page |
| Keeping a record of your cookie choices | Legal obligation, art. 6(1)(c), read with the ePrivacy Directive — we must be able to demonstrate consent |
| Non-essential cookies (preferences, analytics, advertising) | Your consent, art. 6(1)(a) — withdrawable at any time |
| Aggregated play counts and security logging | Legitimate interests, art. 6(1)(f) — running and protecting the service |
| Replying to your emails | Legitimate interests, art. 6(1)(f) — answering your enquiry |
How long we keep it
- Consent records: kept for up to 24 months after the consent expires or is withdrawn, so we can evidence it if challenged.
- Play counts: kept indefinitely, but only as aggregated totals per game and day that cannot be linked to a person.
- Server logs: kept for up to 30 days, then deleted or anonymised.
- Emails: kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, and up to 12 months afterwards.
- Anything in your browser: stays until you clear it, or until the consent cookie expires after 180 days.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it (art. 15);
- have inaccurate data corrected (art. 16);
- have data erased (art. 17);
- ask us to restrict processing (art. 18);
- receive your data in a portable format (art. 20);
- object to processing based on legitimate interests (art. 21);
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting what was lawful beforehand (art. 7(3)).
Write to privacy@playkora.com and we will answer within one month. Because we hold so little data and no account identifies you, we may be unable to link a request to a specific person (GDPR art. 11) — in that case we will tell you and explain what you can do instead, such as clearing your browser storage.
You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in the EU or UK country where you live or work.
Children
The games here are suitable for a general audience, and the site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Because no account is required and non-essential cookies are off by default, a child using the site without consenting to anything leaves no personal data with us. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Games run in a sandboxed frame that is prevented from reaching the rest of the site, and our database is not reachable from the public internet. Consent records store a salted hash of your IP address rather than the address itself.
No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data in transit over the internet.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy materially we update the version number at the top of this page. If the change affects cookies or consent, the cookie banner will ask you again rather than relying on a choice you made under the old version.
