osu! Rhythm Game LLC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://osu.net blog posts. osu! Rhythm Game LLC only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to osu! Rhythm Game LLC's websites choose to interact with osu! Rhythm Game LLC in ways that require osu! Rhythm Game LLC to gather personally-identifying information.

For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at https://osu.net to provide a username and email address.
Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Advertisements
Ads appearing on our website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by osu! Rhythm Game LLC and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Links To External Sites
Our Service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms and conditions of every site you visit.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites, products or services.
Aggregated Statistics
osu! Rhythm Game LLC may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. osu! Rhythm Game LLC may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, osu! Rhythm Game LLC does not disclose your personally-identifying information.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, osu! Rhythm Game LLC may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in osu! Rhythm Game LLC's sole discretion. osu! Rhythm Game LLC encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a service of Google LLC, to understand how the site is used: which pages are visited, how long people stay, roughly where they come from (country or city level), what devices and browsers they use and how they found us. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies, and Google processes this data under its own policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. We see only aggregated statistics, not your identity.
Advertising
osu.net is free because it shows ads. Ads are provided by Ezoic Inc. and its advertising partners. To show, measure and personalize ads, limit how often you see the same ad and prevent fraud, Ezoic and its partners may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies and may collect your IP address, device and browser information, the pages you visit on osu.net and your interactions with ads. Personalized ads use this information to show ads that match your likely interests.
Where the law requires it, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and some US states, a consent banner appears on your first visit. You can accept, refuse or choose purposes and partners. You can change your choice later by reopening the consent tool where it is offered on the page, or by clearing the cookies for osu.net, which shows the banner again. Ezoic's privacy policy is at ezoic.com/privacy-policy, and a list of its advertising partners is at ezoic.com/advertising-partners. The list of partners that may set cookies on this site is shown below this policy.
Cookies and local storage
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. On osu.net they are used for three things: remembering your consent choice, analytics by Google Analytics, and advertising by Ezoic and its partners. The player's own data, described above, is kept in local storage rather than cookies and is never sent to a server. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking them will not stop the player from working, although ads may become less relevant and your consent choice may be asked again.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it, to delete it, to object to or restrict its use, and to withdraw consent at any time. Under the GDPR we rely on your consent for advertising cookies where it is required, on our legitimate interest in running a secure site and measuring its use for server logs, spam protection and usage statistics, and on your request when we answer your messages. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law, you have the right to know, delete and correct personal information and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" for targeted advertising, and we will not treat you differently for using these rights. We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising cookies set by our ad partners may count as "sharing" under these laws; you can opt out through the consent tool or by blocking third-party cookies in your browser.
To use any of these rights, email hello@apptao.io.
How long we keep information
Player data stays in your browser until you delete it. Contact messages are kept as long as we need them to deal with your request and are then deleted. Server logs are kept only for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. Analytics and advertising data are kept by Google and Ezoic according to their own policies and settings.
