What We Collect

404 Memory Found is a nostalgia blog. We keep things simple. We collect anonymous visitor counts (no personal data attached), cookie preferences you set via our cookie banner, guestbook entries you voluntarily submit (name, email, message), and basic analytics through standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited).

Cookies

We use minimal cookies to remember your cookie consent preference, store local game leaderboard data (Pong), and remember if you've seen the welcome tutorial. No tracking cookies, no ad cookies, no third-party marketing cookies.

Third-Party Services

We use Firebase Realtime Database to store Snake game leaderboard scores globally. When you submit a Snake score, your chosen display name and score are stored. We use CounterAPI for anonymous visitor counting. We use Unsplash for post images, which may load assets from their CDN.

Your Data

We don't sell, trade, or share your personal information with anyone. Your guestbook entries are stored for display purposes only. You can request removal of your guestbook entry by emailing us.

By signing the guestbook, you agree that your name and message may be displayed publicly. Don't post spam, hate speech, or anything you wouldn't want your 90s self to read. We reserve the right to remove any guestbook entry.

Limitation of Liability

This site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We're not responsible for any nostalgia-induced emotions, sudden urges to reinstall Windows 95, or time lost playing Snake. Use at your own risk.

Remember: on the internet of the 90s, terms of use were just a checkbox nobody read. We've tried to make ours actually worth reading.
