Privacy Policy

1. "Local-First" Architecture (No Accounts)

Kipp does not feature a user account registration system. We do not collect, request, or store your name, email address, password, or any personal profiling information. Any personalizations—such as tracking which codes you have already claimed—are saved completely locally inside your own browser using localStorage or IndexedDB. This data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to our servers.

2. Information We Automatically Collect

To maintain site performance, security, and stability, our hosting infrastructure may automatically collect standard network log details when you visit, including:

• Anonymized IP addresses (for DDoS protection and traffic routing).
• Browser type, operating system, and device type.
• Basic usage data (e.g., timestamps of visits, pages viewed).

3. Cookies and Advertising Partners

We may use basic browser cookies to remember your visual preferences (like dark mode styling).

Additionally, to keep Kipp free, we may work with third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense) to show banner ads. These ad partners may use cookies, web beacons, and tracking technologies to serve personalized ads based on your general browsing history across the web. You can opt out of personalized interest-based advertising at any time by adjusting your browser cookie preferences or visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. Community Feedback Mechanisms

When you interact with our "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down" validation buttons, the app sends a request to our database to increment the public counter. We do not link these votes to your personal identity; they are tracked anonymously to prevent automated script spamming.

5. Data Security

We implement standard SSL/HTTPS encryption across our entire application to protect data transmission. However, please remember that no method of internet transmission or cloud infrastructure is 100% secure.

6. Children's Privacy

Kipp provides public code directories accessible to gamers of all ages. We do not knowingly or intentionally collect personal identifiable data from children. If you believe any minor has unintentionally submitted data to us, please contact us immediately to have it purged.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our features evolve. Any updates will be pushed directly to this page with a revised effective date.
