Gültig ab: 1. Januar 2026 · Zuletzt aktualisiert: 9/20/2026

Welcome to JigsawPuzzlesFreeOnline.org ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, play our free digital jigsaw puzzles, and use our services.

Our foundational commitment is simple: you can play thousands of free online jigsaw puzzles on our website without creating an account, registering personal credentials, or paying any subscription fees.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

We do not require you to provide personal details such as your name, address, or phone number to play puzzles. The only time we collect voluntary personal details is when you contact us directly via our Contact Form or support email. In those instances, we only collect your name, email address, and the content of your message to respond to your inquiry.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Data

Like most modern websites, our hosting servers and analytics tools automatically log standard technical telemetry when you interact with our pages:

  • Browser type, version, and language preferences
  • Operating system and device model (desktop, tablet, or smartphone)
  • Referring website URL and date/time of access
  • Aggregated page visit counts, dwell time, and puzzle completion metrics
  • Truncated or anonymized Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for DDoS mitigation

C. Client-Side Image Processing ("Make Your Own Puzzle")

Our platform includes an interactive feature that allows you to convert personal photographs into custom jigsaw puzzles. Your uploaded photos are processed exclusively inside your device's browser memory (client-side Canvas/Blob APIs).

Your personal photos are never transmitted over the network to our servers, never stored in databases, and never shared with third parties. Once you close your browser tab or reload the page, the in-memory photo data is automatically purged.

2. Cookies and Advertising Partners (Google AdSense)

We partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to display non-intrusive advertisements on our website. Display advertising is what allows us to keep our puzzle collection 100% free for all users globally.

  • Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookies: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info.

3. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) Disclosures

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grant you specific rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to Know: You may request disclosure of what personal information categories we collect, use, or disclose.
  • Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale / Sharing: We do not sell your personal data for monetary compensation. However, the use of third-party advertising cookies may be considered "sharing" under California law. You can opt out via your browser settings or our cookie preference controls.
  • Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

4. European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

For visitors located within the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom, we adhere to the GDPR:

  • Legal Basis for Processing: We process technical server data based on our legitimate interest in securing, maintaining, and optimizing our web services. For non-essential advertising cookies, we obtain user consent via our consent management framework.
  • Data Subject Rights: You have the right to access, rectify, restrict, or erase any personal information we hold, as well as the right to withdraw cookie consent at any time.
  • Supervisory Authority: You have the right to lodge a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority if you believe our data processing violates applicable laws.

5. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

JigsawPuzzlesFreeOnline.org is designed to be family-friendly and entertaining for puzzle enthusiasts of all ages. However, we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal details through our contact form, please notify us immediately at privacy@jigsawpuzzlesfreeonline.org and we will promptly delete that information from our records.

6. Data Security

We implement rigorous security measures, including SSL/TLS 256-bit encryption for all data in transit, strict Content Security Policies (CSP), and secure server configurations to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

7. Policy Updates & Contact Information

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological or legal changes. When changes occur, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document will be revised.
