5. Chrome Permissions

Storage Permission

The Extension requests the storage permission so that it can save gameplay history, preferences, statistics, and Extension state using chrome.storage.local.

The storage permission is not used to read browser history, access open tabs, inspect website content, or obtain information stored by unrelated extensions.

Host Permissions

These requests may be used to retrieve:

• Featured games.
• Popular games.
• New games.
• Game categories.
• Search results.
• Game details and ratings.

Host permissions are not used to read or modify content on unrelated websites or to monitor the user’s general browsing activity.

6. Browser Tabs and Browsing History

The Extension does not request permission to read the user’s browser tabs or browsing history.

The Extension does not monitor websites visited outside the Extension and does not create a profile of the user’s general web browsing activity.

7. Cookies

The Extension does not use third-party advertising cookies to track users across unrelated websites.

The GameJoyH5 website or embedded game providers may use their own cookies when a game or website page is opened. Any such cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the relevant website or game provider.

8. Third-Party Games and Embedded Content

Some games may be provided by third-party game publishers and may be loaded through an iframe or opened on an external website.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy policies. GameJoyH5 does not control the privacy practices, security practices, or content of independent third-party game providers.

When a provider prevents a game from running inside the Extension, the Extension may offer a button that opens the game on the GameJoyH5 website or the relevant provider’s website.

9. Information Sharing

GameJoyH5 does not sell users’ personal information.

Extension data is not shared with third parties for personalized advertising, credit scoring, lending, insurance eligibility, or unrelated marketing purposes.

Information may be disclosed only when reasonably necessary to:

• Operate the official GameJoyH5 services.
• Provide the Extension’s requested functionality.
• Maintain security and prevent fraud or abuse.
• Comply with a valid legal obligation.
• Protect the rights, safety, and property of users or GameJoyH5.

10. Data Retention and Deletion

Information stored in chrome.storage.local remains in the user’s browser until it is cleared by the Extension, cleared by the user, removed through browser settings, or deleted when the Extension is uninstalled.

Users can remove locally stored Extension information by uninstalling the Extension or clearing the Extension’s stored data through Chrome’s extension settings.

Recommendation data transmitted to GameJoyH5 servers is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the recommendation service, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Users may request deletion of information associated with the Extension by contacting GameJoyH5 at admin@gamejoyh5.com.

11. Data Security

GameJoyH5 uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information transmitted between the Extension and the official GameJoyH5 API.

These measures may include encrypted HTTPS connections, access controls, restricted server permissions, and monitoring intended to prevent unauthorized access or abuse.

However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Extension is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information through the Extension may contact GameJoyH5 to request a review or deletion.

The use of information received from Google APIs will comply with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

The Extension only collects, uses, stores, and transmits information that is necessary to provide its disclosed game-discovery, gameplay, recently played, statistics, and recommendation features.

The Extension does not use or transfer user data for personalized advertising, creditworthiness decisions, lending purposes, insurance eligibility, or any purpose unrelated to its disclosed functionality.

14. International Data Processing

Information transmitted to GameJoyH5 servers may be processed in the country or region where those servers or service providers operate.

By using the Extension, users understand that information may be processed outside their country of residence, subject to applicable data-protection laws and safeguards.
