Privacy

On Poki you can jump into games straight from your browser at no cost. There is nothing to register for, no profile to fill in, no forms to complete. Pick a game and start playing immediately. We collect nothing you type, as typing never happens here.

Data we hold on to

To protect the site and keep it working, our server keeps ordinary technical logs: which IP address you connect from, the kind of browser and device you use, when the request came in, and which page you requested. After a set period these logs are removed. They never go toward building a profile of you.

We never sell data. From our end, there is simply no data to sell.

Games shown in the frame

Every game comes embedded from the independent developer who created it, passed along by a game distribution partner. These games run in a frame within the page, and the people behind them may display ads and place cookies or similar storage in your browser, each following their own privacy policies. That could mean saving a score, a level or a sound setting, or measuring an ad.

What goes on inside that frame is beyond our control. For the exact details of what a particular game stores, check that game's own policy.

Cookies and clearing them

Cookies and similar storage may be placed by the game frame; they do not come from a Poki account, because no accounts exist. To remove them, go to your browser settings and look for the privacy or cookies section. In Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Delete browsing data, and pick cookies and site data. In Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data, then Clear Data. In Safari on a Mac: Settings, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data. On a phone, you will find the same choices in the browser's settings menu.

Clearing cookies might reset a saved score or a setting within a game. That is expected. Also, blocking third-party cookies can prevent some games from loading correctly.

Children

Some Poki games are made for children and some for adults, and we never knowingly gather personal data from anyone, children included. There is no account to set up and no profile to complete. If you think a child's personal data has somehow reached us, send us a message and we will investigate.

Questions

For any privacy matter, email [email protected]. Tell us what your question is about and which game or page you mean, and we will reply as plainly as we can.
