Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 21, 2026
Country Draw is a free, browser-based geography game available at countrydraw.io. This Privacy Policy explains what information is handled when you use the site, who handles it, and the choices you have. It applies to every page on countrydraw.io.
1. We do not collect personal information from you directly
Country Draw has no user accounts, no sign-up, and no email or name collection. You can play the entire game without providing any personal information to us. We operate no user database and do not store any personal data on our servers.
2. Data stored locally in your browser
To keep the game convenient, Country Draw stores a small amount of data entirely in your own browser using local storage:
- Your recent scores (so your history is preserved between visits), and
- An optional author name you may type when submitting a drawing.
This data never leaves your device. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data or local storage for countrydraw.io.
3. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are visited and for how long). Google Analytics sets cookies and may collect aggregated usage data such as device type and approximate location. This information helps us improve the game. You can learn more about how Google uses data here: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
4. Advertising — Google AdSense & Adsterra
This site displays advertisements through two third-party networks: Google AdSense and Adsterra (shown as fixed banners on the sides of the game on larger screens). Both networks — and their partners and ad exchanges — may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and personalize ads, measure their performance, count impressions and clicks, and build a profile of your interests. This includes interest-based advertising and remarketing.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings for Google, or by using the opt-out tools of the relevant third-party network, such as YourOnlineChoices (Europe) or aboutads.info (North America). Adsterra's own privacy practices are described in its privacy policy.
Country Draw itself does not use your data to target ads and does not sell, rent, or share any personal information with advertisers. We select ad formats solely for layout fit; the choice of which ad to show is made by the ad networks.
5. Cookies
This site uses cookies primarily through the third-party services above (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Adsterra, including third-party vendors that serve ads through these networks). We do not use cookies for any purpose of our own. You can manage or block cookies in your browser settings; the game will still work, though advertising and analytics features may be affected.
6. Children's privacy
Country Draw is a general-audience game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your country). Because we do not collect personal information directly, no such data is gathered through this site.
7. Third-party links
Some pages may link to external websites (for example, Google). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies.
8. Your choices and rights
- Local data: clear your browser's storage for countrydraw.io to delete your saved scores and author name.
- Analytics: use your browser's cookie controls or a privacy extension to block analytics cookies.
- Ads: opt out of personalized ads via Google Ads Settings, or via the multi-network opt-out tools linked in Section 4.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available at this URL, with the effective date shown at the top.
