Privacy Policy & Data Infrastructure

Last Updated: February 22, 2026

At fnafworld.app, safeguarding the privacy of our visitors is a core operational priority. As a dedicated technical diagnostic hub and digital preservation archive for the indie role-playing game (RPG) FNaF World, we believe in absolute transparency regarding data collection, infrastructure routing, and third-party monetization.

This Privacy Policy explains the specific types of information collected by our network infrastructure, how it is utilized to maintain download speeds for our repositories, and your rights under global compliance standards (including GDPR and CCPA).

1. Strict Non-Affiliation & The Compatibility Mission

To establish immediate operational context: We are NOT associated, affiliated, or endorsed by Scott Cawthon, ScottGames, Clickteam, or any of their corporate partners. We are a fan-made educational resource provided strictly for backup/archival purposes. Why do we host old versions? Because newer OS updates often break compatibility with older devices (e.g., Android 10 or below) or remove beloved features, such as the 32-bit (armeabi-v7a) architecture required for the original 2017 mobile port. We preserve version history—from the Update 2 (v1.24) PC client to community expansions like FNaF World: Refreshed—to ensure accessibility for all hardware. Our data practices reflect the needs of operating this heavy-bandwidth archival network.

2. Application-Level Privacy (Zero Telemetry Verification)

It is critical to distinguish between our website’s data collection and the software we host. The Clickteam Fusion 2.5 engine, which powers both the official FNaF World executables and standalone Android Application Package (APK) variants hosted here, functions entirely offline.

  • No In-Game Tracking: The $0.00 freeware software does not contain telemetry modules, DRM handshakes, or server authentication pings.
  • Save File Privacy: We do not track, intercept, or monitor your local save states (such as the unencrypted INI text strings located in %appdata%\MMFApplications or the custom pytdata/gamedata pathways used by modded clients).
  • The “Uninstall” Technical Disclaimer: Please note that modded versions cannot coexist with the original Play Store version or base Game Jolt installations. By downloading, you acknowledge that you must uninstall the official app first to prevent signature collisions. We are not responsible for any lost game progress or data during these transitions.

3. Web Infrastructure & Log Files

Like most standard web servers, fnafworld.app utilizes log files to monitor infrastructure health, diagnose traffic spikes, and prevent DDoS mitigation failures. The information logged includes:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
  • Browser type and version
  • Internet Service Provider (ISP)
  • Date and timestamp of the visit
  • Referring and exit pages
  • Number of clicks and download triggers

These metrics are completely stripped of personally identifiable information (PII). We use this data strictly for demographic analysis, CDN (Content Delivery Network) load balancing—ensuring the 400 MB PC client and 103.8 MB Android APKs download at maximum speed without latency—and diagnosing localized errors, such as the “App Not Installed” loop common to specific Android 14 architectures.

4. Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART Cookies

To offset the immense bandwidth costs of hosting standalone executables and high-resolution graphical assets for the FNaF World community, we utilize third-party advertising partners, specifically Google AdSense.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on fnafworld.app.
  • Google’s use of the DoubleClick DART cookie enables it to serve targeted ads to our visitors based upon their visit to our site and other portals on the internet.
  • Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These tools are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content you see. fnafworld.app has no access to or control over these cookies used by third-party advertisers.

5. GDPR & CCPA Compliance (Your Privacy Rights)

Depending on your global jurisdiction, you are entitled to rigorous data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, you have the right to:

  1. The Right to Access: You may request copies of your personal data collected by our web analytics.
  2. The Right to Erasure: You may request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  3. The Right to Opt-Out (CCPA): You may direct us not to sell your personal information to third parties (Note: We do not sell user data; this applies strictly to third-party ad-network cookies).

To exercise any of these rights, or to request the purging of your session data from our diagnostic logs, please contact our compliance officer.

6. Consent and Contact Information

By utilizing our website, navigating our version history matrices, or downloading cryptographic hash-verified files, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its Terms and Conditions.
