Privacy Policy & Cookie Disclosure

1. Scope & Platform Purpose

This Privacy Policy explains how Blooket Calculator (accessible at https://blooketsimulator.com) collects, processes, and protects information when visitors use our mathematical probability calculators, Monte Carlo pack simulators, and educational reference guides. Our platform is operated as an independent STEM probability and gaming statistics resource and does not require user registration or account creation.

2. Local Browser Processing & Calculator Inputs

All numerical inputs—such as token budgets, pack selections, and simulated unboxing streaks—are computed locally inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. We do not collect, store, or transmit personal financial data, Blooket account credentials, or personally identifiable information (PII) when you run probability calculations.

We use standard browser localStorage strictly for functional state persistence, such as remembering whether you dismissed our cookie notice Banner or storing anonymous star ratings on reference entries.

3. Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART Cookie Disclosure

We partner with Google AdSense to display advertisements that support the hosting and maintenance of our free mathematical tools. In compliance with Google Publisher Policies, please note the following:

• Third-Party Vendors: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies, web beacons, and IP addresses to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
• DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables Google and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to blooketsimulator.com and/or other sites on the Internet, subject to applicable consent and child-directed treatment settings.
• How Google Uses Data: You can review how Google collects and processes data when you use partner sites or apps by visiting How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
• Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com). Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.eu (for EEA/UK residents).

4. Children's Privacy, COPPA Safeguards & Non-Personalized Ads

Because Blooket is widely used in K–12 classrooms by teachers and students, we enforce strict technical safeguards to protect younger visitors in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA):

• Our Google AdSense integration explicitly sets data-tag-for-child-directed-treatment="1" (TFCD), instructing Google to disable interest-based and remarketing advertisements on our pages.
• Our Google Analytics 4 configuration sets allow_ad_personalization_signals: false, ensuring that aggregate traffic metrics are never used to build remarketing profiles.
• We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If a parent, guardian, or educator believes that a child has submitted personal data to us via email, please contact us immediately at support@blooketsimulator.com and we will promptly purge the record.

5. Analytics & Log Files

We use Google Analytics to measure aggregate, anonymized usage patterns (such as page views, device viewport categories, and referring URLs) so we can improve calculator performance and content accuracy. Standard web hosting servers also record routine HTTP log data (browser user-agent, timestamp, and requested path) for security and DDoS mitigation.

6. EEA, UK & California Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or California have the right to request information about data processing, restrict non-essential cookies via browser controls or our consent banner, and opt out of data sharing. Because we do not maintain user accounts or store personal profiles on our servers, most state data resides solely in your own browser cookies, which you can clear at any time.

7. Contact & Data Inquiries
