Privacy Policy

Effective: 2025

Hello and welcome to YumeNikkiDownload.com. This privacy policy exists because we value your time and space, as well as your right to explore Yume Nikki’s dream world without fear of being tracked, profiled, or sold. We understand that privacy is more than a checkbox; it is a fundamental expectation. This website, like the game we honor, is quiet, minimal, and completely focused on the experience.

This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, what rights you have, and how we keep your personal data secure. Whether you’re browsing or contacting us directly, we want you to understand exactly what’s going on behind the scenes.

Why We Care About Your Privacy

YumeNikkiDownload.com was founded by fans of Yume Nikki, not marketers, data collectors, or ad tech firms. We’re here to help people get into this legendary game, that’s all. We don’t care who you are, where you live, or what other sites you visit. We do not display advertisements, install trackers, or follow you around the internet.

Our values reflect Yume Nikki’s nature: solitude, simplicity, and imagination. That is why we have designed our privacy policies to be as open, respectful, and minimal as possible.

What We Collect—and What We Don’t

The short version is that we collect almost nothing by default. Here is a breakdown of what we may collect and why.

  1. Contact Information
    If you choose to use our contact form, we will ask for your name and email. This allows us to respond to your message, resolve a reported issue, or provide feedback. We do not use this information for newsletters or other marketing purposes. When the conversation ends, your data is deleted.
  2. Anonymous Analytics
    We use privacy-conscious tools like Google Analytics to learn how visitors use our website. This includes the most popular pages, how long visitors stay, and which links are clicked. These insights allow us to improve the site without identifying anyone personally. IP addresses are anonymized, and we do not associate activity with specific users.
  3. Cookies
    We may use small cookies to improve the user experience, such as remembering which pages you visited or storing basic settings. These cookies are not used for advertising or behavior tracking. You can block cookies using your browser settings without losing access to the site.
  4. Server Logs
    Our hosting server, like most websites, automatically generates basic logs for performance and security. This includes information such as the time of visit, browser type, and whether any errors occurred. These logs are never used for tracking purposes and are regularly cleared.

What We Never Collect

We never ask for or store

  • Payment information
  • Addresses or phone numbers
  • Social media logins
  • Personal IDs or documents
  • Sensitive demographic or behavioral data

We also prohibit user accounts and comment sections that may link identities to activity.

How We Use the Data We Receive

If you contact us, we will only use the information you provide to respond to your request. We do not keep messages for long periods of time and will never send you unsolicited updates or announcements via email.

Any analytics data we collect is only used in aggregate—for example, to see that “300 people visited the download page last week,” but not to identify those individuals. This allows us to focus on what is most important to our users while maintaining their privacy.

We also use collected feedback to fix broken links, improve guides, and update out-of-date content. However, your feedback will always be kept confidential.

How We Protect Your Data

Even though this is a low-data site, we take security very seriously. Our entire website is served using HTTPS, which means that all data exchanged between you and us is encrypted. The contact form is secured with basic spam filtering and CAPTCHA tools. Access to our backend is protected by strong credentials, and we use reputable hosting providers who adhere to current security standards.

We don’t keep any data on physical devices or offline databases. All communication is handled using secure, cloud-based tools, and old messages are deleted on a regular basis to minimize risk.

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party tools to help us operate the site:

  • Google Analytics – to learn how visitors use our pages (anonymized)
  • Form processors – to securely send messages through our contact form
  • Hosting provider – for safe, encrypted storage of temporary logs and server data.

These services may collect anonymous technical information (such as browser type or time on page), but they do not receive your name, email address, or IP address in any personally identifiable form. We do not use any third-party ad services, social media plugins, or remarketing scripts.

Please be aware that our website may contain links to third-party sites (such as game download mirrors or community forums). We have no control over those websites’ privacy practices, so please read their policies separately.

Your Rights and Choices

We fully support your right to manage your digital footprint. On this website, it means:

  • You never have to enter personal data to browse.
  • You can request that we delete any contact form submissions.
  • You can browse in private or incognito mode without penalty.
  • You can block cookies or disable JavaScript; our core content will still work.

If you’ve previously contacted us and would like to know what we have stored (if anything), please ask. We will respond within 14 days and delete your information if you request it.

Children’s Privacy

Our content is intended for a general audience aged 13 and up. We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13. If we discover that we have received such data, we will immediately delete it. Parents and guardians with concerns are encouraged to contact us directly.

Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect new features, legal updates, or feedback from the community. If we did:

  • We’ll update the date at the top of the page.
  • We may post a notice on the homepage for significant changes.
  • If you have already contacted us, we may notify you via email.

Continuing to use the site following a policy update indicates agreement with the new version. That said, our core privacy principles—minimal data, no ads, no tracking—are unlikely to change.

Questions? Contact Us

If you have any questions, privacy concerns, or want your data deleted, please contact us using the form on our Contact Us page. We take every message seriously and typically respond within 24 to 48 hours.

Thank you for going to YumeNikkiDownload.com. Your privacy contributes to the feeling of safety in this space, which is similar to wandering through a dream. We intend to keep it that way.
