Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This Privacy Policy explains how CanPlayIt ("we", "us", or "our"), operating the website canplayit.com, handles information when you use our website and tools. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
What our tool does with your data
Our PC compatibility checker runs entirely in your browser. When you press "Scan my PC", the tool reads limited information your browser exposes — such as your graphics renderer, number of CPU cores, approximate memory, operating system, and screen resolution — purely to display a result to you. This information is processed locally on your device and is not sent to or stored on our servers. The parts you select from the menus are also processed only in your browser.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically record standard technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit. This is used for security, troubleshooting, and understanding general usage trends.
Cookies
We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We may display ads served by third-party vendors, including Google. These vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
Third-party ad networks may collect and use information about your visits under their own privacy policies, which we do not control.
Analytics
We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. These services may set cookies and collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data. Their handling of data is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Third-party links
Our site may contain links to external websites, including gaming stores, streaming partners, and other services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information.
Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of personal data held about you, and to opt out of personalized advertising. To make a request, contact us using the details on our Contact page.
Children's privacy
Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.
