Privacy policy
Yeoul Games (hereafter "Site") values users' personal information and handles it as follows:
Effective September 14, 2026 · Revised effective October 31, 2026 (Added the YouTube API Services section (Section 7). Announced October 24, 2026; previous revision October 16, 2026)
1. This site does not require account registration
The site does not have a sign-up feature. We do not request or store names, dates of birth, phone numbers, addresses, or payment information.
2. Information Collected
| When? | What | Why? | How much? |
|---|---|---|---|
| When writing posts or comments on the board | Nickname, post password (hash value), and a short masked IP identifier | Author display, confirm self edit/delete | Until the post is deleted |
| When sending a contact | Name (or nickname), reply contact, inquiry content | Answer | 6 months after processing |
| When applying for developer approval | Name (or nickname), contact info, application details, application password (hash) | Approval review, approval code issuance | 6 months |
| When signing up as a developer | Email address, developer name, password (hash), registration & verification time | Sign‑up confirmation, login, password recovery, game status notification | Until you request withdrawal (unverified accounts are removed after 3 days) |
| When requesting to follow (new game/update emails) | Email address, selected game & developer, short identifier masking the connection IP | Send confirmation and news emails, block prank requests. | Until you unfollow (unconfirmed requests are deleted after 3 days) |
| When submitting to a game jam | Nickname, submission password (hash value), and a short masked IP identifier | Show submissions, confirm deletion by owner, limit to three per site | Until you withdraw your entry or the jam is deleted |
| When uploading a game | Creator name, uploaded file | Game display, distribution | Until the game goes down |
| When accessing the site or games | Connection IP, connection time, connected game | Check for issues, monitor usage | 90 days |
| When connecting to Silverbrook | Name and password (hash) set within the game | Maintain character | Until the account is deleted |
Passwords are never stored in plain text. Board post passwords and developer application passwords keep only a portion of the SHA‑256 hash, and the Silverbrook game account password stores only the SHA‑256 hash. Admin passwords are also stored as hashes in the config file. The site does not use these values for anything other than identity verification.
Board posts do not store the full IP; only the first four characters of the SHA‑256 hash are kept as a short identifier for the author
3. Connection Logs
When you access the site or a game, the server logs the access in the form [Web Access] <IP> -> <Game>, recording the IP and timestamp. This is used only to check for issues and monitor usage. The data is not collected in a database or linked with other information.
Storage lasts for 90 days. Access logs older than 90 days are automatically deleted by the server. Deletion is performed by the server at a scheduled time, not by a person, because there’s no reason to keep data beyond the period needed for troubleshooting.
This record is not eligible for backup. Deleted connection logs cannot be restored.
4. Cookies
The site uses cookies only for the following two purposes.
- Keep Admin logged in (
yg_admin) — For Admins only - Preventing duplicate thumbs-up and saving list (
yg_me) — Stores a randomly generated table per browser. It contains no personal data and disappears when browser data is cleared
Cookies can be blocked in browser settings. However, blocking them may cause some features like Thumbs up to not work properly.
Send mail — Follow-up emails are sent to the operator's Gmail (Google) account. The recipient's email address is used only for that sending, and clicking the link below the mail deletes it immediately
5. Third-Party Provision and Outsourcing
The site does not sell or share user information with third parties. However, it may be provided if requested through lawful procedures by investigative agencies in accordance with the law.
6. Search Engines
To improve search visibility, the site is registered with Google Search Console and Naver Search Advisor. These services collect the URLs and content of public posts published on the site. No personal information is transmitted.
Posts you write on the board are visible to everyone and appear in search results. Do not include personal information in your posts.
7. Use of YouTube API Services
This site uses YouTube API Services for one purpose only: uploading short videos (Shorts) that introduce games on this site to the Yeoul Games YouTube channel managed by the operator.
- Only the operator's own Google account is connected. We never ask site visitors to sign in to Google or YouTube or to grant any permission
- We do not collect, store, or share any other person's YouTube data (account information, watch history, subscriptions, comments, etc.)
- The only values we receive from the YouTube API are the results of our own uploads (video URL and privacy status), which are kept only in operating logs
- The authorization token used for the connection is stored on the server with restricted access and is never shown on screen or in logs
Because we use YouTube API Services, the YouTube Terms of Service also apply, and information processed by Google is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
Revoking access — Access to a Google account can be revoked at any time on the Google Account third-party app access page. Once revoked, this site can no longer access YouTube, and any token left on the server is deleted without being used. To request deletion of any other YouTube-related information, contact the Privacy Officer below; we will delete it within 7 days.
8. Advertising and Analytics Tools
This site currently has no ads or visitor analytics tools. Therefore, we do not create advertising cookies or analytics identifiers.
If we attach ads like Google AdSense later, we will change this policy, announce it in the notice 7 days before implementation, and post it.
9. Children
The site does not collect personal information from users under 14 years old. Since there is no membership registration, age is not verified.
10. User Rights
- You can directly edit or delete a board post using the password you set when writing the post.
- If you forgot your password or cannot delete your account, please request it via the contact information below.
- You can also request deletion of uploaded games in the same way
11. Security Measures
- The site communicates using HTTPS encryption.
- Passwords are not stored in plain text; only the SHA-256 hash is kept.
- Board posts keep only a short masked marker instead of the original IP
- Files uploaded that are not in HTML format are stored outside the web folder and only provided for download, so they do not run on the server
- Admin panel is protected by a separate password
