Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-01-22

Electric Man on electricman.org lets you play Electric Man and other browser games. We respect your privacy and keep data collection minimal. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

What We Collect

By default, we do not require personally identifiable information to play. When you browse the site, we may collect limited technical data such as:

• Basic server logs (IP address, user agent, requested pages, timestamps)
• Approximate location (country or region derived from IP)
• Performance and error logs for debugging

This data is used to keep the site secure, prevent abuse, and improve performance.

Analytics (Optional)

We may use Google Analytics and/or Plausible when enabled to measure aggregate traffic and page performance. These services may set cookies or use similar technologies. We do not run analytics on /embed pages. Blocking analytics scripts or cookies will not prevent you from playing.

Comments (Waline)

If you choose to post a comment, the Waline comment system processes:

• Nickname you provide
• Email address (required for anti-spam and avatars)
• Comment content
• IP address and user agent for moderation

Comments are public and visible to other visitors. Comment data is stored on the configured Waline server, which may be hosted by a third-party provider. We moderate comments to remove spam and inappropriate content.

Games and Embeds

Games are loaded through a sandboxed embed layer with a no-referrer policy to limit data sharing. Many games are hosted by third-party providers, and those providers may collect data or show ads according to their own policies. Flash-era games use the Ruffle emulator, which is loaded from a CDN when needed.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies for analytics and comments when those features are enabled. Individual games may store settings or progress in local storage or IndexedDB. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some convenience features may reset.

Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent user data. We may share limited data only:

• With infrastructure providers (hosting/CDN) to deliver the site
• With analytics providers if enabled
• With the comment provider when you post comments
• When required by law

Data Retention

Operational logs are kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting. Comment data remains visible until you request removal or it is removed for policy reasons.

Your Choices and Rights

You can:

• Block cookies and tracking in your browser
• Choose not to post comments
• Request deletion of your comments or data

To exercise these rights, email support@electricman.org.

Children's Privacy

Our site is designed for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal data, please contact us for removal.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as needed. Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
