privacy policy

Effective February 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how bighomieced.app ("Site," home of The Sandbag) handles information when you access or use the Site.

Summary

• No account registration required.
• The Site is a collection of self-contained browser toys, puzzles, games, and articles ("rooms").
• Limited technical data may be processed for security, performance, analytics, and advertising.

Information We Collect

You do not need to submit personal information to browse the Site. Certain information may be collected or processed automatically:

• Technical data (e.g., IP address, user agent, device/browser type, approximate location derived from IP).
• Usage data (e.g., pages visited, navigation events, timestamps, referrers, and performance metrics).
• Advertising data (e.g., cookie identifiers or ad interaction signals handled by ad providers).

The Site is not intended to collect sensitive personal information.

Rooms and Local Data

The Site publishes self-contained browser toys, games, puzzles, generators, articles, and small utilities ("rooms"). Rooms run entirely in your browser. Optional features such as the time meter, streaks, and the Trophy Case store their progress in your browser's local storage on your device; that data is not transmitted to the Site. The Site does not receive anything you type into a room unless you explicitly send it through a separate channel (for example, by contacting the Site).

User Submissions

If you contact the Site (for example, via a contact page or email), you may provide information such as your email address and the contents of your message. That information is used to respond to your request and operate the Site. The Site does not sell contact submissions.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site and third parties may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies to provide basic site functionality and performance, measure traffic and usage, and serve and measure advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect advertising behavior and, in some cases, site functionality.

Analytics

The Site may use analytics to measure traffic and performance (e.g., page views, referrers, error rates, and performance timing). The Site does not intentionally store personally identifiable information in analytics reports. Analytics providers may process technical identifiers (including IP addresses) as part of delivering analytics services.

Advertising

The Site may display advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, limit repetition, measure performance, and personalize ad content where permitted. You can manage ad preferences through browser settings and Google ad controls.

Sharing of Information

Information may be shared in these cases: service providers (vendors that help operate the Site — hosting, analytics, advertising); legal (to comply with law, legal process, or enforce Site terms); and security (to detect, prevent, or address fraud, abuse, or technical issues).

Data Retention

Client-side data stored in your browser (if any) remains until you clear it. Server-side logs and analytics (if any) are retained only as long as necessary for security, performance, and operational purposes.

Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to help protect the Site. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13 and is not intended for their use. The Site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with an updated effective date.
