Privacy Policy
How HeadBallGame handles information, cookies, advertising technologies and embedded browser games.
1. Introduction
HeadBallGame (“HeadBallGame,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that may be collected when you use https://headballgame.com/ (the “Website”), how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.
By using the Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We May Collect
Information You Provide
If you submit a game rating or comment, we collect the display name, star rating and comment text you choose to provide. Published comments and display names are visible to other visitors. A functional browser identifier is used to remember your rating and help limit duplicate or abusive submissions; it is not intended to identify you by name.
If you contact us, report a problem, submit feedback, or otherwise communicate with us, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message content, and any other information included in your request.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Website, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically by us or by third-party service providers. This may include:
- IP address;
- browser type and version;
- device type and operating system;
- referring and exit pages;
- pages and games viewed or played;
- date and time of visits;
- approximate location derived from IP address;
- cookie, advertising, or device identifiers; and
- information about interactions with the Website and advertisements.
3. How We Use Information
We may use information for purposes such as:
- operating, maintaining, and improving the Website;
- delivering browser-based games and related content;

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, scripts, and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember preferences, measure traffic, prevent abuse, and support advertising.
These technologies may include:
- Strictly necessary technologies used for security, core functionality, and consent management;
- Preference technologies used to remember settings or choices;
- Analytics and performance technologies used to understand Website usage and performance; and

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies are used only after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
5. Google AdSense and Advertising
HeadBallGame uses or may use Google AdSense and other advertising services to display advertisements.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this Website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on your location, settings, consent choices, and applicable law.
You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services by visiting How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services .
Other advertising providers may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies and your applicable consent choices.
6. Consent Management for EEA, UK, and Switzerland
For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we use or may use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (“CMP”) to request, record, and manage consent where required by law.
The consent interface may allow you to make choices about:
- storing or accessing information on your device;
- personalized advertising;
- non-personalized advertising;
- advertising and content measurement;
- analytics and audience measurement; and
- data processing by participating vendors.
Where consent is the legal basis for processing, you may change or withdraw your consent at any time through the privacy or consent controls made available on the Website.
7. Third-Party Games and Embedded Content
Some games, media, advertisements, or other content available through HeadBallGame may be provided, embedded, hosted, or delivered by third parties. When you interact with third-party content, those third parties may receive technical information such as your IP address, device information, browser information, or interaction data.
Third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies and terms. HeadBallGame does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party providers.
8. Analytics and Performance Services
We may use analytics, hosting, security, caching, and performance services to understand traffic, diagnose technical issues, improve loading speed, and maintain Website security. These providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser information, device information, referral information, pages viewed, and interaction data.
Where required by law, analytics or similar non-essential technologies will be subject to your consent choices.
9. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar privacy laws apply, we may process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Consent, including for certain cookies, analytics, and personalized advertising;
- Legitimate interests, such as operating, securing, and improving the Website;
- Performance of a request, such as responding when you contact us; and
- Legal obligations, where processing is required by law.
10. Sharing of Information
We may share information with service providers and other parties when reasonably necessary to operate the Website. These may include:
- hosting and infrastructure providers;
- security and anti-abuse providers;
- analytics and measurement providers;

- game and content providers;
- technology and performance providers;
- professional advisers; and
- government or law-enforcement authorities where disclosure is legally required.
11. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
HeadBallGame does not sell personal information for money. However, some U.S. state privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough that certain advertising or analytics technologies may fall within those definitions.
Where required by applicable law, you may have the right to opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, or sharing of personal information.
12. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:
- request access to personal information;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of personal information;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- request data portability where applicable;
- opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, or sharing; and
- lodge a complaint with an applicable data protection authority.
These rights are subject to applicable law, exceptions, and verification requirements.
13. U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of U.S. states with applicable consumer privacy laws may have additional rights, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, or obtain a portable copy of certain personal information, as well as rights to opt out of targeted advertising or certain sales or sharing.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising rights available to you under applicable privacy law.
14. Global Privacy Control
Where required by applicable law and supported by our systems or service providers, we may recognize browser-based opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC).
15. Children's Privacy
HeadBallGame is a general-audience website and is not specifically directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 in a manner that requires parental consent.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review the request and take appropriate action.
16. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including Website operation, security, fraud prevention, responding to requests, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, it may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated.
17. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse. However, no website, Internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
18. International Data Transfers
We and our service providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you live. Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.
19. Third-Party Links
The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of independent third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information to them.
20. Do Not Track
Some browsers provide a traditional “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no single universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, the Website may not respond to all Do Not Track signals. Where legally required, recognized opt-out preference signals may be handled as described in the Global Privacy Control section above.
21. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in Website features, games, advertising services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
