Compliance & Transparency

Privacy Charter & Fair Play Policy

Effective Date: November 2026. This comprehensive charter governs how OnlineBoard UK operates, respects player autonomy, and handles minimal client-side identifiers in full accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Data Controller Identification

The entity responsible for processing technical connection data across this web domain is the administrative board of OnlineBoard UK:

  • Operating Facility: Alte Akademie
  • Physical Postal Address: Neuhauser Straße 8, 80331 München, Germany
  • Direct Telephone Hotline: +49 170 73918204
  • Designated Privacy Email: support@onlineboarduk.com

2. Zero Account Philosophy

OnlineBoard UK is deliberately designed with zero account registration barriers. We do not require visitors to register names, passwords, home addresses, phone numbers, or social media logins to access our 14 browser tabletop games. We never build behavioral marketing profiles, monetize personal identity databases, or resell participant records to third-party data brokers.

3. Local Browser Storage Use

To deliver seamless gameplay without cloud server databases, our client-side scripts save small state tokens inside your browser's sandboxed localStorage:

  • pnb_muted: Retains your audio preference (muted or active chimes).
  • pnb_simon_best: Records personal highest sequence streak locally.
  • pnb_cookie_consent: Stores your cookie preference banner dismissal.

You can clear these entries at any time via your browser settings under "Clear Site Data".

4. Server Infrastructure Logs

When you request pages and virtual runtime modules, our web server transiently records standardized technical HTTP request logs. These logs capture the client IP address, timestamp, requested URI path, HTTP status code, user-agent string, and referrer. These records are held strictly for cyber-security defense, denial-of-service prevention, and server load balancing for a rolling period not exceeding 14 days, after which they are purged.

5. Lawful Grounds & Player Rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

Our processing of technical connection logs relies upon our Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) to deliver a secure, accessible web gaming platform. Functional local storage relies upon your voluntary consent or necessity for requested services. As a resident of the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, you possess guaranteed statutory rights:

Right to Erasure Request deletion of any transient connection logs linked to your static IP address.
Right to Object Object to any processing based on legitimate interests at any time.
Supervisory Recourse Lodge inquiries with your national data protection authority (BfDI in Germany or ICO in the UK).

6. Fair Play & Non-Commercial Entertainment Statement

All tabletop games provided on OnlineBoard UK are exclusively designed and operated for casual recreational, logical, and educational entertainment. All in-game points, chips, and victory milestones possess zero commercial or monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real currency, prizes, or tangible assets. No deposits, real-money transactions, or financial purchases exist on this platform.
