Privacy

Little Storefronts is a free browser game made by a small independent team in Vietnam. No account, no ads, and we never sell your data. Here is everything we collect, why, and for how long.

What	Details	Why	How long	Who handles it
Game save	Your progress, in your own browser (local storage). Nothing is sent to us.	To keep your game	Until you delete it (button below or Start over in the game)	Nobody, it stays on your device
Anonymous play steps	Which screen is open, which main button is tapped, how each customer was served (right or wrong, seconds, pay), end of day totals, when the game closes; device type, language, game version, country from your connection; a random visit code and a random device code. No cookies, no raw IP address, nothing you type.	To find where the game is hard or boring and fix it	Up to 3 months (event rows); daily counters 120 days	Cloudflare (our host)
Google Analytics 4	Only if you tap Accept: pages, a few game steps (start, first customer served, end of day 1), browser and device, rough location. Google sets cookies (_ga, _ga_*). Ad features stay off.	To count visits and see if new players get past the first minutes	2 months (Google event data); cookies up to 2 years unless you decline later	Google (may be processed outside your country)
Email list	Your email, sign-up date and country, only if you join.	One email when the game launches	Until we send it or you ask us to remove it	Cloudflare
Playing together (optional)	Only if you are 16 or older and share your shop, invite, open a friend's invite link, visit, send a gift or play together: a scrambled device code, shop code, the shop and owner names you chose, district and street, day, reputation, regulars, sign colour, gifts and visits (preset greetings, never free text), a scrambled connection address against spam, and an optional copy of your save with an 8-letter recovery code.	To show your shop to friends and neighbours	Until you delete it (button below) or ask us; a shop not opened for 14 days gives its spot on the street to someone else	Cloudflare
Reports	The shop code you report, a short reason, a scrambled connection address of the reporter.	To hide rude names and keep players safe	6 months	Cloudflare
Feedback and bug reports	Only when you send one: what you wrote, the kind (bug, idea, praise, contact), your email if you give it (16 and up only), a picture of the game if you tick it; game version, shop type, game day, screen size, language, browser and system name, country from your connection, the last game errors for a bug; a scrambled device code and connection address to stop spam. Never your save or the names you typed. Our reply and the ticket status are kept with it.	To fix bugs, plan new features and answer you. Your email is used only to reply to that message, and every reply mail has a link to delete it.	12 months, then deleted	Cloudflare; we answer from Proton Mail
Pictures and video links you attach to a report	Only if you are 16 or older and add them: up to 3 pictures (made smaller in your browser before sending) and a YouTube or Google Drive link you paste. Video files are never uploaded. With every report (any age): which buttons you tapped in the last 30 seconds, never what you typed.	To see and fix the bug you report	90 days, then deleted (the ticket itself 12 months)	Cloudflare
Automatic error reports	When the game hits an error: the error message, where in the game file, game version and screen. Counted together with the same errors from other players. No device code, no connection address.	To find and fix crashes	90 days	Cloudflare

Your choices

Cookies: Google Analytics only runs after you tap Accept on the banner. Change your mind any time:

Anonymous play steps: switch them off in the game (Journal, Settings, Anonymous play stats). If you decline cookies, we also stop keeping the random device code.

Children

Playing alone needs no personal data. Before anything is shared with other players we ask for your year of birth once. Under 16: you play alone, with no Google Analytics, no shared shop and no store, and we keep no device code. We only keep a yes or no "16 or older" mark, never the year.

We use 16 everywhere (the EU allows countries to choose 13 to 16, the US line is 13) to stay on the safe side. We do not show ads to anyone.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, object to how we use it, or take back your consent at any time, for free. Write to littlestorefronts@proton.me. We answer within 30 days. You can also complain to your data protection authority (for example your EU national authority, the UK ICO, or in Vietnam the Ministry of Public Security).

Delete my data

This deletes everything this game stored in this browser (all save slots, settings, codes). If this device owns a shared shop, that shop is deleted from our server too.

Lost the device that owns your shop? Send us its 6-letter shop code and we will check and delete it.

There are no ads on littlestorefronts.com. If you play on a game portal (for example CrazyGames), that portal may show its own ads under its own privacy policy.

Hosting and security

The site runs on Cloudflare, which handles your connection (including your IP address) to deliver pages and block attacks, under its privacy policy. Google Analytics follows Google's privacy policy.

Spam and cheat protection

To keep shared boards fair and stop bots, our server checks that game progress is possible in the time played and limits how often one connection can send things. Some actions shared with other players (opening a shared shop, renaming it, reporting a shop, moving it to another device) and sending feedback may run Cloudflare Turnstile, an invisible check that you are a person, under Cloudflare's Turnstile privacy policy. We keep only a scrambled (keyed) version of your connection address and daily counts of blocked requests, never your IP address itself.
