🎮 What Is MindGameHub?

MindGameHub is a free website with educational games for kids ages 5-15. We cover math, language, science, logic, memory, and geography. You don't need to create an account or sign in to play any game. Just visit and start playing!

📋 Information We Collect

None. We do not collect:

• Names or usernames
• Email addresses
• Home addresses or phone numbers
• Photos or videos
• Payment information
• Any personal information of any kind

🍪 Cookies & Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. We use cookies in three limited ways:

• Essential cookies — the minimum needed to make the website work (remembering language and basic browser settings).
• Aggregate analytics — Google Analytics with IP-anonymization enabled, used only to count total visits and pages viewed. We never use these to identify individual users.
• Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense to display non-personalized, child-safe ads (see the Advertising section below).

We do not use cross-site tracking cookies, fingerprinting, session replay, or any technology that builds a profile of you or your child. You can clear cookies anytime in your browser settings, or visit Google Ad Settings to manage Google's ad cookies directly.

💾 Game Progress & Scores

Some games save your progress or high scores so you can continue later. This information is stored only in your browser's local storage — it never leaves your device and is never sent to us or anyone else. You can clear it any time by clearing your browser's site data.

📢 Advertising

To keep MindGameHub free for every family, we display limited, child-safe advertisements through Google AdSense and other certified kid-safe ad networks. We commit to keeping ads minimal and non-intrusive — they will never interrupt gameplay or cover content.

How AdSense Works on This Site

Because MindGameHub is directed at children, our entire site is flagged to Google as "Made for Kids". Under this setting, Google automatically:

• Disables personalized advertising for every visitor — only contextual ads (based on the content of the page, not on user data) are served.
• Disables remarketing, interest-based ads, and audience segmentation.
• Restricts ad categories to those appropriate for children (no alcohol, gambling, dating, weight-loss, age-restricted media, weapons, or other adult categories).
• Avoids using persistent advertising identifiers tied to a child.

Ads You Will Never See Here

• Pop-up, autoplay-with-sound, or full-screen takeover ads
• Interstitial ads that interrupt a game in progress
• Behavioral or targeted ads based on browsing history
• Ads for products inappropriate for children
• In-game purchases, loot boxes, or pay-to-win mechanics

Third-Party Ad Vendors

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. These cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on the content of the page only (not the user's prior visits). Read more:

EU & UK Visitors (GDPR)

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland see only non-personalized ads, in line with GDPR requirements. We do not store personal data for marketing purposes and do not transfer personal data outside your region for advertising.

California Visitors (CCPA / CPRA)

We do not sell personal information as defined by CCPA/CPRA. Because our site is directed at children and uses non-personalized advertising, no opt-out of "sale" is required. California residents may still contact us at parents@mindgamehub.com to exercise any privacy rights.

COPPA Compliance & Advertising

All advertising on MindGameHub complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Because we treat 100% of our traffic as "made for kids," no behavioral or interest-based advertising occurs at any time, even for visitors who happen to be adults.

🔗 Links to Other Websites

Some of our games link to trusted educational platforms like Code.org and Scratch (MIT). When you visit those sites, their own privacy policies apply. We encourage parents to review the privacy policies of any external sites their children visit. We only link to sites with strong child-safety records.

If we ever update this policy, we will post the new version here with a new "Last updated" date. Since we don't collect your email, we can't notify you directly — so check back if you're curious.
