Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy was last updated on Feb 1 2024.
Geometry Arrow is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors who use our site and applications, including older users above the age of 13 (“General Users”) and younger users under the age of 13 (“Children Users”), collectively referred to as “Users.” This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) is designed to provide transparency into Geometry Arrow’s privacy practices and the principles governing the collection, use, and disclosure of information obtained through our various platforms—including our website (accessible at 'geometry-arrow.org'), mobile applications, and any publishing services—collectively referred to as the "Geometry Arrow General Site." It also covers information we may collect from Children Users through our dedicated Kids Site.
The Geometry Arrow General Site and the Geometry Arrow Kids Site (together, the “Geometry Arrow Site”) are owned and operated by Geometry Arrow. By using the Geometry Arrow General Site, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and consent to the processing, collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with its terms. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Geometry Arrow Site. Parents or legal guardians who allow their children to access the Geometry Arrow Kids Site are deemed to have agreed to this Privacy Policy on their children’s behalf.

1. General Information
All features on the Geometry Arrow Site are available without requiring user registration. No personal data (such as email addresses or phone numbers) is requested from Users. Geometry Arrow may collect certain electronic data (e.g., IP addresses, cookies, or device IDs). When a User clicks to leave the Geometry Arrow Kids Site, Geometry Arrow may alert the User that they are exiting the Kids Site and that this Privacy Policy will no longer apply. Should a User provide personal data on any third-party website or application, such data will be processed under that site’s or application’s privacy statement. In such cases, Geometry Arrow is not responsible as the Data Controller or Processor.
2. Data Collection and Its Purposes
Our servers automatically recognize visitors’ domain names and IP addresses. The Geometry Arrow Site may collect anonymous “traffic data” that does not personally identify you but can be useful for marketing purposes or to improve our services. When your computer or mobile device contacts our web servers (for instance, when you visit the Geometry Arrow Site), we automatically collect usage information, including details on how visitors navigate our pages, the number and frequency of visits, duration of stays, browser type, and referrer data.
Traffic data may also be shared with business partners and advertisers in an aggregate, anonymous format. Additionally, advertisers on the Geometry Arrow General Site might use cookies to collect information for targeted advertising purposes. More details on the use of cookies are provided below.
3. Data Retention
Geometry Arrow may retain user data for purposes including, but not limited to:
- Developing new features and improving the Geometry Arrow Site;
- Supporting customer service inquiries;
- Enhancing the safety and security of the Geometry Arrow Site;
- Complying with legal obligations.
Your information will be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes.
4. Third Party Games
This Privacy Policy does not extend to personal data processing by third-party game providers on the Geometry Arrow Site. Any third-party game provider is responsible for ensuring their data processing complies with applicable data protection laws. Generally, Geometry Arrow does not allow third-party content providers to collect personal data from Users. Should a third party collect any personal data, Geometry Arrow will require compliance with applicable data protection regulations through contractual agreements.
5. Cookies
Like many websites, the Geometry Arrow Site uses “cookies” — small text files stored on your device — as well as similar tracking technologies. In addition, third-party networks serving advertisements on the Geometry Arrow Site (the “Advertisers”) may also use cookies.
Cookies help in remembering who you are by storing information on your device. There are two types:
- Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Remain until they expire (which could be tomorrow, next week, or next month).
Geometry Arrow and its Advertisers may use cookies (or similar technologies) to:
- Operate and improve the Geometry Arrow Site;
- Authenticate your access;
- Remember your preferences;
- Measure the effectiveness of our offerings;
- Customize the content provided to you; and
- Serve targeted advertisements.
For details on cookies used on the Geometry Arrow Kids Site, please see the Children Users section below. You may refuse or delete cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Instructions for doing so can typically be found on your browser vendor’s website.
6. Links to Third Party Websites
The Geometry Arrow General Site intentionally links to third-party websites (e.g., YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, Kik) whose privacy policies govern your interactions with those sites. Some third-party games featured on both the Geometry Arrow General Site and the Geometry Arrow Kids Site may also link to external sites. Although Geometry Arrow monitors these links for inappropriate content, we do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
7. Sharing Information
Geometry Arrow may share your persistent identifiers with third parties, including business partners, under circumstances such as:
- Security: Releasing information (including IP addresses) when legally required, at the request of governmental authorities, or to enforce compliance with policies or laws. Such disclosure may also occur when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Geometry Arrow, its partners, customers, or others.
- Aggregate Information: Sharing non-identifying, aggregated user statistics with third parties to describe our services to prospective partners.
- Advertising: Sharing technical information (like IP addresses or device IDs) with advertising partners for behaviorally targeted advertising on the Geometry Arrow General Site, or for serving contextual ads on the Geometry Arrow Kids Site.
8. International Data Transfers
Geometry Arrow may collaborate with third parties outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and may transfer your data to countries where these third parties are based. Such transfers will be conducted in accordance with EU standard contractual clauses, with your consent, or as necessary for contractual performance. For any questions regarding international data transfers, please contact us at support@geometry-arrow.org.
9. Children Users
Protecting the privacy of children is of utmost importance. To that end, Geometry Arrow has created an age-appropriate experience for Children Users via the Geometry Arrow Kids Site or through age-gating on the Geometry Arrow General Site. Upon accessing these services, you may be required to confirm your age. Based on the information provided and your device settings, Geometry Arrow does not process personal data of children below the age prescribed by relevant legislation.
The Geometry Arrow Kids Site and age-gated experiences comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). These services do not request personal information from Children Users, do not require registration, and display only age-appropriate advertisements that are not behaviorally targeted. For more information on COPPA, please refer to this COPPA Guide.
10. Lawful Bases for Processing Personal Data
For users in the European Union (EU), Geometry Arrow processes personal data only when a lawful basis exists under applicable EU laws. This includes processing:
- When necessary for a legitimate interest (such as fraud prevention, service improvement, and security enhancement);
- With your consent for specific purposes;
- As required to fulfill contractual obligations; or
- To comply with legal obligations.
Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you have the right to object (see Section 11 for details). Examples of data processed under legitimate interests include network security data (IP addresses, device IDs), customer support data (email addresses), and usage analytics.
If processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us as described in Section 12.
11. Individual Rights
Geometry Arrow provides you with the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Deletion (“Right to be Forgotten”): You may request the deletion of your personal data. Please note that residual copies might remain on active servers or backups for purposes such as fraud prevention, analytics, legal compliance, or legitimate business needs.
- Restriction of Processing: You may request that the processing of your personal data be limited instead of deleted, for instance while verifying its accuracy or during a legal dispute.
- Data Portability: You have the right to obtain your personal data in a structured, commonly used format for transfer to another service.
- Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or when processing is based on legitimate interests. To exercise this right, please provide specific reasons for your objection. Note that Geometry Arrow may continue processing your data if it is necessary for legal claims or if compelling legitimate grounds exist.
If any request is deemed unfounded or excessive, we may reject it or charge a reasonable fee. Should we reject your request, we will inform you of the reasons and advise on possible remedies.
