Policy at a glance

Effective June 1, 2025

Written for readers in the United States

Plain language, clear choices

A short policy for a focused site.

This privacy policy explains how Irene's Play handles newsletter sign-ups, contact form submissions, site analytics, and the small files that help pages work. It applies to this website and related reader communications.

No creepy tracking. No data marketplace.

01

Information we collect

We ask for details at the point where they have a clear purpose. You can read reviews without creating an account.

Newsletter details

When you subscribe, we collect your email address and subscription preferences. Your name is optional. Each issue includes a clear unsubscribe option.

Contact messages

Our contact form may ask for your name, email address, and message. We use those details to reply, assess a tip, or handle a site concern.

Basic analytics

Analytics may record a truncated or technical IP address, browser type, device category, referring page, and pages viewed. These signals show which reviews need improvement.

Why we use it

Newsletter information sends the publication you selected. Contact details help us answer you. Analytics support editorial decisions and site performance.

What we avoid

  • We do not sell or rent personal information.
  • We do not build advertising profiles from your reading.
  • We do not ask for payment details through the contact form.
02

Cookies and tracking

Cookies are small text files placed by a website or its service provider. Most are quiet, practical tools rather than a record of everything you do.

Cookie categories used on this site
Category Purpose Choice
Essential Remembers settings needed for page functions and privacy choices. Browser controls may limit these, though some pages may respond differently.
Analytics Shows aggregate page visits, referral sources, and technical performance. Opt out through your browser settings or our cookie controls.
03

Your data, your control

You can ask what we hold, request a correction, or ask us to remove information that no longer has a clear purpose.

Retention limits

Contact form messages are generally kept for up to 12 months after the conversation ends. We retain them longer only when a legal or safety issue requires it.

Deletion requests

Ask us to delete your contact details or newsletter record. We will verify the request, remove eligible information, and reply within a reasonable period.

Access and correction

You may ask for a copy of personal information linked to your email address or point out an error. Aggregate analytics cannot usually identify you.

Stop the newsletter

Use the unsubscribe link in any newsletter. The request removes your address from future issues, although a short processing delay may occur.

US gaming site compliance

Clear handling. Direct contact.

Irene's Play is based in North Huntingdon Township, Pennsylvania, and aims to follow applicable US privacy requirements, including state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act where those laws apply. Rights and thresholds can vary by location.
