This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your information through the Miniature Painting Forge application (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

To provide and improve our Service, we and our partners utilize various technologies to collect information.

• "My Collection" Data: The "My Collection" feature allows you to store a list of your owned paints. This information is stored exclusively in your web browser's local storage on your device. This data is not collected, stored, or transmitted to our servers. You have full control over this data within your browser.
• Usage Data (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how our Service is used. When you visit our site, your browser may automatically send certain information to Google. This can include your computer's IP address, browser type, the pages you visit on our Service, the time and date of your visit, and other diagnostic data. This helps us analyze traffic and improve the user experience. For more details, you can review Google's Privacy & Terms.
• Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): We partner with Google AdSense to display advertisements, which helps keep our Service free.
  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • These cookies help in providing personalized ads, preventing you from seeing the same ad repeatedly, and detecting and stopping click fraud.

2. User Consent for Data Collection and Advertising

Where legally required, such as for users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain your consent for the storing and accessing of cookies and other information on your device. Your consent for personalized advertising can be managed at any time.

3. Your Choices and Opt-Out Options

You have control over your data and advertising preferences.

• Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can direct users to opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
• Browser Cookie Settings: You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

5. Affiliate Links

Some links on this site could be affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon. We may also participate in affiliate programmes with other retailers including Wayland Games, Element Games, and Monument Hobbies.

Affiliate commissions help us keep Miniature Painting Forge free to use. We only link to products we believe are relevant and useful to our users. Our editorial content and tool results are never influenced by affiliate relationships.

6. Security

The security of your data is important to us. Our site implements a Content Security Policy (CSP) to help prevent common web vulnerabilities. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. In compliance with Google's policies, we do not show personalized ads to minors.
