Effective date: August 31, 2026

Who operates this site

ScritchyScratchy.cc is an independent game site with a playable browser demo and supporting player pages. It is not operated by Lunch Money Games, Funday Games, Valve, Steam, itch.io, Apple, Google, or any other store or platform referenced on the site. Privacy questions can be sent to the contact address at the end of this policy.

Server and security data

When a page or API route is requested, the hosting and security provider may process the IP address, request URL, date and time, browser and device information, referring page, approximate region, and security or error signals. This data is used to deliver pages, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and maintain service reliability. Cloudflare provides the site's hosting, network, and security layer; see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Analytics

This site loads Google Analytics when a visitor opens a page. Google Analytics may process page URLs, browser and device information, approximate location derived from IP address, referrer, interactions, cookies, and online identifiers to measure site use. Advertising signals and ad personalization signals are disabled in the site configuration.

Visitors can use browser privacy controls to limit or remove cookies. Read the Google Privacy Policy and Google's explanation of how it uses information from partner sites.

Advertising and AdSense status

This site loads the Google AdSense tag for site review, advertising configuration, and potential ad delivery. The site does not place manual ad units in page content, but ads may appear if Google enables automatic ads through the publisher account. Google and its advertising partners may process page URLs, IP addresses, browser and device information, cookies, web beacons, and other identifiers to measure or deliver ads. Before Google advertising code loads, the site sets ad storage, ad user data, and ad personalization consent to denied by default; loading the tag does not itself grant advertising consent.

Google's advertising cookies are described in the AdSense cookie documentation. Visitors can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings orYourAdChoices. Where consent is required, consent-dependent advertising storage and personalization remain disabled unless a Google-certified consent management platform supplies the required signal. Google's requirements for publishers serving users in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland are described in its publisher consent requirements.

Comments

The public comment form is enabled on the home page. The site processes the chosen display name, comment text, a random browser-generated commenter key, submission time, and user-agent string. New comments are held for moderation and will not be public until approved; visible comments show the display name, text, and date.

Embedded game content

The Scritchy Scratchy browser demo is embedded on the home page from itch.io. The site keeps the game covered until the visitor presses Play Now, but the embedded frame may still connect as it loads. That connection may send the IP address, browser information, referrer, cookies, and game-related storage to itch.io under its own policy. See the itch.io Privacy Policy.

Data sharing and retention

Data is shared only with service providers needed for hosting, security, analytics, embedded content, and comment storage, or when required by law. Comment and security records are retained only as long as reasonably needed for publication, moderation, abuse prevention, and legal obligations. Visitors may request correction or deletion of a comment by providing the page URL, display name, and enough detail to identify the submission.

Children

This site is a general-audience game site and is not directed to children under 13. It does not knowingly use personalized advertising to target children. A parent or guardian can contact the site to request review or removal of information submitted by a child.
