Privacy Policy

How BrainStorm Games handles information when you visit the ImmunoBlitz website, play the game or contact us.

This Privacy Policy describes how BrainStorm Games, the creator of the educational game ImmunoBlitz, handles information connected with this website and the services described here. We aim to keep data collection limited and transparent.

1. Information You Provide Directly

You do not need to create a BrainStorm Games account to read the Learning Hub or access the public website. If you contact us by email, we receive the email address you use and any information you choose to include in your message.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry. BrainStorm Games does not provide medical advice, so personal medical information should not be sent through our general contact address.

2. Analytics and Technical Information

We use Google Analytics to understand how the website is used and to help identify technical or content improvements. Depending on your browser, device, consent choices and Google's configuration, analytics services may process information such as:

• browser and device type;
• operating system;
• pages viewed and approximate session activity;
• referring pages or websites;
• general geographic information derived from network data;
• technical events related to website performance.

We use this information to understand general usage patterns rather than to build our own profiles of individual visitors.

3. Advertising

ImmunoBlitz is intended to remain accessible without an upfront purchase. BrainStorm Games uses or may use Google advertising services, including Google AdSense for web content and Google AdMob on supported mobile versions.

Advertising services may use cookies, device identifiers or similar technologies depending on the platform, region, user settings and consent choices. Google and its partners may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and advertising settings.

Where advertising is enabled, the exact ads shown and the data used to select them are controlled by the advertising platform rather than by BrainStorm Games directly.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used by analytics, advertising and website infrastructure. Some are necessary for technical operation, while others may support measurement or advertising.

Where consent is legally required, visitors may be presented with consent choices before certain non-essential technologies are used. Browser settings and Google advertising controls may also provide additional ways to manage cookies and personalised advertising.

5. Children's Privacy

ImmunoBlitz is an educational game that may be used by school-age learners as well as adults. BrainStorm Games does not require children to create an account or submit personal information in order to play the public web version or read the Learning Hub.

We do not knowingly ask children to provide personal information through the game. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent personal information to BrainStorm Games through email or another contact method, they may contact us at info@brainstorm-games.com.

Advertising and analytics involving younger users can be subject to additional platform rules and legal requirements. BrainStorm Games aims to configure these services appropriately for the audience and region in which they are used.

6. External Links

The Learning Hub links to external scientific and public-health sources such as government health agencies and research resources. When you follow an external link, you leave the BrainStorm Games website and the destination site's own privacy policy applies.

7. Data Retention

Information sent directly to us by email may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to answer the enquiry, maintain relevant correspondence, resolve a technical issue or meet legitimate administrative or legal needs.

Analytics and advertising data handled by third-party providers are retained according to those providers' settings and policies.

8. Data Sharing

BrainStorm Games does not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers needed to operate the website, analytics, advertising or email services. We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the security and integrity of the service.

9. Your Choices

Depending on your location and the services active on the website, you may have choices relating to cookies, consent, analytics or personalised advertising. Google's advertising controls are available through My Ad Center.

You may also contact BrainStorm Games regarding information that you have directly provided to us.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, game, advertising setup, analytics tools or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
