Shinestonea is built on principles of privacy respect, data minimization, and user control. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to information handling with complete transparency. Our guiding philosophy: collect only what's essential, protect what we collect, and never monetize user data.
Shinestonea collects minimal information necessary for basic functionality. We don't require accounts, don't request personal details, and don't track individual users across the internet. Our data practices focus exclusively on essential technical operations.
We use your browser's local storage capability to remember your age verification response. When you confirm being 18 or older, this confirmation is stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device, never reaches our servers, and remains entirely under your control. You can delete this stored preference at any time through your browser's settings.
Our web servers automatically log standard technical information when you visit: IP addresses, browser types, device information, access timestamps, and pages viewed. This is standard web server behavior used exclusively for security monitoring, technical troubleshooting, and service maintenance.
The limited information we collect serves specific, legitimate purposes:
We do not use data for advertising, marketing, user profiling, behavioral tracking, or any commercial purposes beyond providing free entertainment.
Shinestonea categorically does not sell, rent, lease, trade, or share user data with third parties. This prohibition is absolute. Since we collect minimal data and store age verification locally on your device, there's no user database to monetize. Your privacy is not our product.
Shinestonea does not employ tracking cookies, third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, or behavioral tracking technologies. We don't build user profiles, don't track browsing across websites, and don't monitor individual behavior patterns. Our sole use of browser storage is the locally-stored age verification preference.
Our site includes links to responsible gaming organizations. These are external websites with independent privacy policies. When you navigate away from Shinestonea to visit these sites, their privacy practices govern. We encourage reviewing their policies before providing any information.
Server logs are retained only as long as necessary for security and troubleshooting purposes - typically measured in days or weeks, not months or years. Age verification data stored in your browser's local storage persists until you manually clear it or clear your browser's stored data. We maintain no long-term databases of user activities.
We implement reasonable security measures to protect our platform including secure servers, protected administrative access, and monitoring for security threats. However, since minimal data is collected and age verification is stored locally on your device, you maintain primary control over this information through your browser's security settings.
Shinestonea is designed exclusively for adults 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect information from minors and actively work to prevent underage access through age verification systems. If we become aware of underage access, we take immediate steps to block continued use.
You have complete control over locally-stored age verification data. Clear it anytime through your browser settings. Since we maintain no user accounts or personal profiles, there are no centralized databases to access, modify, or request deletion from. Our data minimalism approach means maximum user control.
Shinestonea is accessible worldwide. By using our platform, you acknowledge that data processing occurs according to this privacy policy regardless of your geographic location. Our minimal data collection approach means very limited information crosses international borders.
For users in California: We do not sell personal information as defined by CCPA. We collect only minimal technical data. No targeted advertising occurs. Your privacy rights are respected by default through our data minimization approach.
For users in the EU/EEA: Our minimal data collection aligns with GDPR principles including data minimization, purpose limitation, and storage limitation. Local storage of age verification on your device gives you direct data control. Brief server log retention serves legitimate interests in security and service provision.
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect operational changes, legal requirements, or improved practices. Updates will be posted with new effective dates. Material changes will be clearly indicated. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
By using Shinestonea, you consent to this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with our practices, please discontinue use of our platform.
