Privacy Policy

Who We Are and How to Contact Us

Icebreaker Games is operated by an independent developer. You can contact us at support@breakice.games.

When this policy says “we,” “us,” or “our,” it means the independent developer operating Icebreaker Games and the Icebreaker Games website.

Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to this website, including game detail pages, icebreaker question pages, category pages, search, filter features, legal pages, and any contact you send to us.

If we link to a third-party website, tool, advertiser, or platform, that third party has its own privacy policy and practices.

Information You Provide

Most visitors can use Icebreaker Games without creating an account or sending personal information.

If you contact us, we may receive your email address, name if you provide it, message content, and any information you choose to include.

If we later add comments, submissions, newsletters, accounts, or downloadable resources, we will process the information you provide through those features and update this policy when needed.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, some technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting, security, analytics, or browser technologies.

• IP address, approximate location, browser type, device type, operating system, language, referring page, visited pages, time of visit, and access logs.
• Search terms, filters, clicked links, page views, traffic sources, and general usage patterns when analytics is enabled.
• Cookie consent choices, including whether you allowed optional analytics or advertising technologies.
• Security and performance signals used to keep the website fast, reliable, and protected from abuse.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, and similar technologies for essential website functions and, with your consent where required, analytics or advertising.

Essential storage may remember your cookie preferences. Optional analytics or advertising technologies should not load until you allow them through the cookie banner or preference panel.

You can read more in our Cookie Policy and manage your choices from the Cookie Policy page.

How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and secure the website and its icebreaker game content.
• To make search, filters, language navigation, category pages, and page rendering work properly.
• To understand which games, questions, topics, and pages are useful, and which pages need improvement.
• To improve content quality, page speed, accessibility, SEO structure, and user experience.
• To detect spam, abuse, fraud, security incidents, and technical errors.
• To respond when you contact us.
• To show, measure, or improve advertising only when relevant tools are enabled and consent rules are satisfied.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar privacy laws apply, we rely on different legal bases depending on the activity.

• Legitimate interests for essential website operations, security, debugging, abuse prevention, and improving non-sensitive content.
• Consent for non-essential analytics, advertising, personalization, and similar tracking technologies.
• Contract or pre-contractual steps when you ask us to respond to a request.
• Legal obligation where we must keep, disclose, or process information to comply with applicable law.

When We Share Information

We do not sell personal information directly to data brokers. We may share limited information only when it is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

• Service providers that help with hosting, content delivery, security, analytics, email, advertising, or website operations.
• Advertising and analytics partners, only where the relevant tools are enabled and consent requirements are met.
• Legal, regulatory, or safety reasons, such as responding to lawful requests, enforcing our terms, or protecting rights and security.
• Business transfers, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of website assets, if the receiving party agrees to protect the information appropriately.

Third-Party Services We May Use

The website may use Cloudflare for security, performance, delivery, and analytics. Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP address, request data, device information, and page events.

If advertising services such as Google AdSense or similar ad networks are enabled, they may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, frequency capping, and personalization where allowed.

If we add newsletter, contact form, embedded media, or community features later, those providers may process the information needed to provide the feature.

International Transfers

We may use service providers located in different countries. This means information may be processed outside your country or region.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual commitments, data processing terms, and other lawful transfer mechanisms.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including hosting and security tools, access controls, and HTTPS where available.

No website, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure. If you believe information you sent us has been compromised, contact us at the email above.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law.

Server logs, analytics data, cookie preferences, and email correspondence may have different retention periods depending on the tool, security need, provider settings, and legal requirements.

If you send a privacy request, we may keep a record of that request for a reasonable period to show how we handled it.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal information.

If processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that already happened before withdrawal.

• To make a privacy request, contact us at support@breakice.games.
• We may need to verify your request before acting on it.
• You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
• You can change cookie choices from the Cookie Policy page or by clearing browser storage.

Children and Young Participants

Icebreaker Games is a general audience website. Some content may be useful for classrooms, youth groups, or family activities, but the website is not designed to collect personal data from children.

Adults, teachers, facilitators, and organizers are responsible for choosing age-appropriate games and avoiding prompts that collect sensitive information from participants.

If you believe a child has sent personal information to us, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, tools, advertising setup, or legal requirements change.

The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised.
