Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 3, 2026 | Domain: mapmelt.com

At World Remix (accessible from https://mapmelt.com), protecting the privacy of our visitors is one of our core priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that are collected and recorded by World Remix and how we use them.

1. Zero-Account Gameplay & Local Browser Storage (localStorage)

You can play Country Fusion and the Daily World Challenge without registering an account or submitting personal identification details. To provide personal convenience features directly in your browser, World Remix uses standard HTML5 localStorage keys:

• wr_saved_fusions_v1: Stores the ISO country codes and heraldic styles of fictional nations you explicitly save to your personal Atlas Shelf.
• wr_daily_progress_v1: Stores your personal score history for the UTC Daily World Challenge.
• wr_theme_v1 and wr_sound_v1: Stores your preferred Light/Dark visual theme and sound mute state.
• wr_ad_consent_v1: Records your privacy and cookie consent preference.

All localStorage data stays strictly on your own device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time via your browser settings or on our Cookie Policy & Consent Settings page.

2. Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART Cookie Disclosure

World Remix is structured to support display advertising through Google AdSense and compliant third-party advertising partners:

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads to visitors based upon their visit to https://mapmelt.com and other sites on the internet.
• Visitors may decline the use of the DART cookie and opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads or Google Ads Settings.
• You may also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.eu.

3. GDPR Data Protection Rights (EEA & UK Visitors)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing, and request data portability. Where processing relies on consent (such as personalized display advertising cookies), you have the right to withdraw consent at any time via our Cookie Policy & Consent Settings page.

4. CCPA / CPRA Privacy Rights (California Visitors)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to request disclosure of categories of data collected, request deletion of personal data, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. Children's Information (COPPA)

World Remix is a family-friendly educational geography game. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information via email, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will promptly delete such correspondence.
