Privacy Policy

Last Revised: November 2025

AuraThorn Social Casino is committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. This Privacy Policy articulates how we handle information associated with your use of our social casino platform. We encourage you to review this policy carefully to understand our approach to privacy.

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

AuraThorn operates on a privacy-by-design principle. We've intentionally structured our platform to minimize data collection while still providing an excellent entertainment experience. Unlike many online services, we do not require account creation, do not collect extensive personal information, and do not engage in user profiling or behavioral tracking for advertising purposes.

Our commitment to privacy extends beyond mere compliance with regulations - it's a fundamental aspect of how we operate and a core value that guides our decision-making.

2. Information Collection Practices

AuraThorn collects minimal information, and what we do collect is limited to what's necessary for basic functionality and service improvement. The categories of information associated with your use of AuraThorn include:

  • Age Verification Status: We store your confirmation of age eligibility (18+) in your browser's local storage. This data resides exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. It exists solely to prevent repeated age verification prompts.
  • Technical Metadata: Standard web server logs may capture basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, and general geographic location. This information is automatically collected through normal web protocols.
  • Aggregated Usage Patterns: We may observe general patterns about how visitors interact with AuraThorn, such as which pages are visited most frequently and how long visitors typically spend on the platform. This information is aggregated and anonymized.

Importantly, we do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, payment information, or other traditional forms of personally identifiable information. AuraThorn does not require or request such information.

3. Purpose and Use of Information

The limited information we collect serves specific, legitimate purposes related to maintaining and improving AuraThorn:

  • Enforcing our age restriction policy to comply with responsible gaming standards
  • Maintaining platform security and preventing abuse or unauthorized access
  • Analyzing technical performance to optimize loading times and functionality
  • Understanding usage patterns to make informed decisions about future improvements
  • Diagnosing and resolving technical issues that may affect user experience
  • Ensuring compatibility across different browsers and devices

We do not use information for targeted advertising, do not sell or rent any data to third parties, and do not engage in cross-site tracking. Your experience on AuraThorn remains private.

4. Local Storage Implementation

AuraThorn utilizes browser local storage to remember your age verification status. Local storage is a client-side technology, meaning the data is stored directly on your device rather than on our servers. This approach offers several privacy advantages:

  • Your verification status is not transmitted over the internet
  • No server-side database contains information linking you to our platform
  • You maintain complete control over this data through your browser settings
  • Clearing local storage removes all AuraThorn-related data from your device

You can manage or delete local storage data at any time through your browser's privacy or settings menu. Doing so will require you to verify your age again upon your next visit to AuraThorn.

5. Cookie Usage Policy

AuraThorn employs minimal cookie usage. We may utilize session cookies to maintain continuity as you navigate between pages during a single visit. These cookies contain no personal information and automatically expire when you close your browser.

We do not use persistent cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party cookies. AuraThorn does not participate in ad networks or use cookies to build behavioral profiles. Your browsing activity on AuraThorn is not tracked across other websites.

6. Third-Party Relationships

AuraThorn provides links to external responsible gaming resources including GambleAware, GamCare, and Gambling Therapy. These organizations operate independently and have their own privacy policies. When you click these links and visit their websites, you leave AuraThorn, and your subsequent interactions are governed by those organizations' policies, not ours.

We do not share information with these organizations, and they do not share information with us. The links exist purely to provide access to helpful resources for those who may need them.

AuraThorn does not integrate third-party analytics platforms, social media plugins, or advertising services that would enable external entities to track your activity on our platform.

7. Data Security Measures

While AuraThorn collects minimal information, we still implement reasonable security measures to protect the integrity and availability of our platform. These measures include standard web security protocols, secure server configurations, and regular security assessments.

However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security. While we strive to protect any information associated with your use of AuraThorn, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. Your use of AuraThorn acknowledges this inherent limitation of internet security.

8. Protection of Minors

AuraThorn Social Casino is not directed at individuals under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect information from minors. Our age verification system is designed to prevent access by those under 18.

If we become aware that someone under 18 has accessed AuraThorn despite our prevention measures, we will take appropriate steps to block future access. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's internet usage and utilize parental control software to prevent access to age-restricted content.

9. Your Privacy Rights and Controls

Because AuraThorn collects minimal information and does not require account creation, traditional data subject rights (such as access requests or deletion requests) are largely inapplicable. However, you maintain control over your interaction with AuraThorn through various means:

  • You can clear local storage and cookies through your browser settings at any time
  • You can discontinue use of AuraThorn whenever you choose
  • You can access our platform without providing personal identifying information
  • You can use browser privacy modes (incognito/private browsing) for additional privacy
  • You can employ browser extensions that block tracking technologies

10. International Data Considerations

AuraThorn is accessible from various jurisdictions worldwide. If you access our platform from outside your home country, please be aware that any information collected may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in different locations. Different jurisdictions have varying data protection standards.

By using AuraThorn, you acknowledge and consent to such transfers and processing. However, given our minimal data collection practices, the amount of transferable information is extremely limited.

11. Policy Modifications

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as necessary to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last Revised" date at the top of this policy.

We encourage periodic review of this policy to stay informed about how AuraThorn protects your privacy. Your continued use of the platform after policy changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

12. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, given that AuraThorn does not collect, sell, or share personal information as defined by the CCPA, most CCPA provisions are not applicable to our operations.

13. European Privacy Considerations

For visitors from the European Union or European Economic Area, we acknowledge the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). AuraThorn's minimal data collection practices align with GDPR's data minimization principle. The legal basis for any processing would be legitimate interests in providing and improving our service.

14. Questions and Transparency

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or AuraThorn's privacy practices, please review our other policy documents for additional context about our operations and commitments. We believe in transparency and have designed AuraThorn to respect your privacy while providing quality entertainment.

Summary: AuraThorn Social Casino respects your privacy by design. We collect minimal information, do not require personal data, and focus on providing entertainment rather than harvesting user information. Your use of AuraThorn remains as private as modern web technology allows.
