Privacy Policy

.Welcome to PUBLICWORKS We value your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information when you play with our interactive projects and visit our site. Because this site is built for entertainment and curiosity, we aim to collect as little data as possible.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

• Voluntary Information: If you sign up for our newsletter or contact us via email, we collect your email address and any name you provide.

• Automatic Information: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain "Log Data." This includes your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the time spent on those pages.

3. Interactive Data & Local Storage

Many of our projects (e.g., games or builders) save your progress so you don't lose it when you refresh the page.

• We primarily use Local Storage or Session Storage in your browser to save these "game states."

• This data usually stays on your device and is not sent to our servers unless specifically noted within the project.

4. Third-Party Services

We use a few trusted third-party tools to help our site run:

• Analytics: We use [Google Analytics / Plausible / Vercel Analytics] to see how many people are using the site. These tools may use cookies to track anonymous usage data.

• Hosting: Our site is hosted on [Vercel / Netlify / GitHub Pages], which may collect basic server logs for security purposes.

• Newsletters: If you subscribe, your email is managed by [Mailchimp / Substack / ConvertKit].

5. Cookies

Cookies are small files placed on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, but some parts of our interactive experiments may not function correctly without them.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our site is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with data, please contact us so we can delete it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live (such as the EU under GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Since we collect very little data, the easiest way to "delete" your data is to clear your browser cache/local storage. For newsletter removal, click "Unsubscribe" at any time.
