Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 10, 2026

Minix Games ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website minix.games. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site.

Information We Collect

Minix Games is a free browser-based gaming platform. You never need an account to play games.

Optional Minix account

If you create an account, we store what you give us and what the account features need:

  • Account details: your email address, a securely hashed password (or the ID Google returns if you sign in with Google), display name, avatar and country.
  • Activity: favorites, ratings, comments, leaderboard scores, check-ins, daily-task progress, points, friends and notifications.
  • Diamonds and purchases: top-up and purchase records, diamond transfers and your balance. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card number.

Your email is never shown to other players. Your display name, avatar, country flag, level, VIP badge, scores and comments are shown publicly on leaderboards and game pages.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our site, certain information may be collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies:

  • Usage data: pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type, device type, and operating system.
  • IP address: collected by our analytics and advertising partners for geolocation (country/region level) and fraud prevention.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data:

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies for:

  • Analytics cookies: to measure site traffic and understand usage patterns.
  • Advertising cookies: to deliver relevant advertisements and measure ad performance.
  • Preference cookies: to remember your settings (such as theme preference).
  • Sign-in cookie: if you have an account, a secure cookie keeps you signed in until you sign out.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

Children's Privacy

Minix Games is a general-audience site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Data Retention

Without an account, the recent-games list (up to 10 entries) and favorites (up to 50) are stored only in this browser's local storage. Clearing site data removes these lists and may remove separate game saves.

If you have an account, we keep your account data for as long as the account exists. You can ask us to delete your account through our contact page; we keep purchase records only as long as needed for accounting and legal obligations. Analytics data is retained by Google Analytics according to its own policies.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request deletion of your personal data.
  • Opt out of personalized advertising.
  • Withdraw consent for cookie usage.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
