Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 3, 2026

WorldCurio operates worldcurio.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By using the Site you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide: If you contact us by email we receive the details you include, such as your name and email address. We do not require registration or accounts.

Automatically collected data: Our hosting infrastructure logs standard technical information when you visit — including IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps. This data is used in aggregate to understand traffic and improve performance.

Local storage: Features such as game scores and theme preferences are stored in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.

2. Cookies and advertising

We use cookies to operate the Site and to serve advertising. Specifically:

  • Essential cookies — required for core site functionality.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand aggregate usage patterns. No personally identifiable data is stored.
  • Advertising cookies — WorldCurio displays ads served by third-party advertising networks including Google. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to show you relevant advertisements based on your interests. You can manage your advertising preferences at adssettings.google.com.

You can disable or manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling advertising cookies will result in less relevant ads rather than no ads.

3. How we use your information

We use collected information to operate and improve the Site, respond to enquiries, analyse usage in aggregate, and maintain security. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Third-party services

The following third-party services are integrated into the Site, each governed by their own privacy policies:

  • Google — advertising and analytics
  • Image and flag CDN providers — for serving destination media
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers — for server-level security logs

5. Data retention

Server access logs are retained for up to 90 days for security purposes, then deleted. Email correspondence is retained only as long as needed to resolve your enquiry.

6. Children's privacy

WorldCurio is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through our Site, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.

7. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at worldcurio.wow@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.
