Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information processed through the StumpsFun website located at stumpsfun.com, along with information you send to us through support email or other direct communication linked from the site.

It does not cover third-party websites that may be linked from our content. If you follow an external link, the privacy practices of that destination are controlled by the third party, not by StumpsFun.

2. Information we may collect

We aim to keep data collection limited and proportionate to a simple content website. Depending on how you interact with StumpsFun, we may collect the following categories of information:

• Technical browsing data: IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location based on IP, pages viewed, referring page, and time of access.
• Usage data: basic interaction information such as which pages are visited and how often they are loaded.
• Support information: your name, email address, and any details you include when contacting us.
• Security logs: records created by our hosting or site infrastructure to detect abuse, errors, or suspicious traffic.

StumpsFun does not intentionally collect payment card data, bank information, wallet balances, or other financial account details because the site does not offer payment or real-money services.

3. How we use information

We may use the information described above to operate and improve the website, including to:

• deliver page content and maintain technical performance;
• monitor uptime, security, and misuse;
• understand which content categories are most useful to readers;
• respond to support messages, questions, or complaints;
• maintain records when necessary for compliance, fraud prevention, or dispute handling.

We do not use website data to run gambling services, payment scoring, or targeted behavioral advertising systems tied to real-money products.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

StumpsFun may use essential cookies, temporary browser storage, or similar technologies needed for ordinary website functionality, site performance, or security. Our hosting environment may also create standard server logs automatically.

We do not state that the site is entirely cookie-free. If cookies or similar tools are used, they are intended to support operation, reliability, or basic measurement rather than cross-site behavioral ad targeting.

5. Advertising and Google publisher products

If StumpsFun displays Google-served ads or uses other Google publisher products in the future, Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, log information, or similar technologies to serve, measure, and improve advertising.

Google advertising cookies may be used to show ads based on a user's visits to this site and other sites. Users can learn more about how Google uses information from partner sites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and can manage ad personalization through adssettings.google.com. Users may also learn about some third-party personalized advertising opt-outs at aboutads.info.

If we add non-Google ad partners, we may update this policy to identify them and explain the data they may process in connection with ad delivery and measurement.

6. Consent for users in certain regions

If StumpsFun serves ads to users located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we may need to request consent for cookies and personal data processing as required by applicable law and Google publisher requirements.

Where that requirement applies, consent will be handled through an appropriate consent management solution rather than implied silently through ordinary site use.

7. When information may be shared

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary course of business. Information may be shared only in limited cases, such as:

• with hosting, infrastructure, analytics, email, or security providers that help operate the website;
• when required to comply with law, lawful process, or regulatory obligations;
• to investigate abuse, fraud, or threats affecting StumpsFun, its users, or third parties;
• as part of a business reorganization, merger, or asset transfer, subject to appropriate handling of the data involved.

8. Data retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operational continuity, support handling, security review, and legal compliance.

Technical logs may be retained for a shorter administrative period, while support messages may be retained longer if needed to respond to an inquiry or maintain a record of a reported issue.

9. Security practices

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to help protect the information under our control. However, no website, server environment, or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through email or web forms and should contact us only with the details needed for the request.

10. Your choices and requests

Depending on applicable law and the nature of the information involved, you may be able to request that we:

• confirm whether we hold information you provided directly;
• correct inaccurate details you sent to us;
• delete or limit the use of information you submitted directly, where appropriate;
• answer questions about how your support communications have been handled.

We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we may keep information where required for security, compliance, or legitimate record-keeping purposes.

11. Adult-only use and children

StumpsFun is intended only for users aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly design the site for children. If we learn that personal information has been submitted by a person below 18 in a way that should not have occurred, we may take steps to delete that information where practical and lawful.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in site functionality, operations, or legal obligations. When material updates are made, we will revise the "Last updated" date on this page.

Continued use of the website after revised terms take effect means you acknowledge the updated policy.

13. Contact us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to make a data-related request regarding information you submitted directly, contact contact@stumpsfun.com.
