Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026.

Overview

This policy explains what The False Sun collects and why. We keep data collection to a minimum. We do not require an account, and the game itself runs entirely in your browser without sending us your play history.

What we collect

  • Analytics: Aggregated, anonymous usage data (pages viewed, approximate region) through privacy-respecting analytics. This is not tied to your identity.
  • Advertising: We use Google AdSense to serve ads. AdSense may use cookies and non-personal or personalized signals as described in Google's policies.
  • Email: If you contact us, we store the message and your address only so we can reply.

Cookies

We and our advertising partner (Google) may set cookies to measure traffic and serve relevant ads. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the site and game will still work, though some ads may be less relevant.

Your choices

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time through Google's Ads settings, or by adjusting your browser's do-not-track and cookie controls. Disabling personalization does not stop ads — it only makes them less tailored to you.

Third parties

Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies to personalize ads. You can review and manage this through Google's Ads settings.

International visitors

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. To exercise those rights, email us at contact@the-falsesun.com and we will respond as required by law.

Data retention

Analytics data is kept in aggregate and anonymized form. Email messages are retained only as long as needed to handle your request, after which they are deleted. We do not keep game-save data because it never leaves your device.

Children's privacy

The False Sun contains horror themes and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Security

We follow reasonable measures to protect the limited data we hold. Because the game saves locally in your browser, your progress is only as safe as the device and browser you play on — clearing your browser data will clear your saves.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
