Introduction
Tiny Trainset ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our 3D train simulator website at tinytrainset.com (the "Site").
What this site does
Tiny Trainset is a browser-based 3D wooden train set simulator. You can watch trains move around tracks, adjust speed and direction, customise track layouts, change visual themes, and interact with a playful 3D environment: all running entirely in your web browser.
Information we collect
1. Train simulator configuration data (stored locally)
When you use Tiny Trainset, the following settings are saved in your browser's local storage:
- Train settings: Speed, direction, running state
- Camera settings: Mode, zoom level, viewing angle
- Track configuration: Layout type, custom track pieces
- Visual preferences: Environment, time of day, colour theme, shadows
- Sound preferences: Train sound on/off
Important: This data is stored only in your web browser using localStorage. It never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time using the "Reset to Defaults" button or by clearing your browser's local storage.
2. Analytics Data
We collect no analytics data. No analytics or measurement service runs on the Site, so nothing records the pages you visit, the time you spend here, or how you arrived.
3. Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Essential cookies: To save your train simulator preferences in your browser

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect Site functionality (such as saving your train configuration).

Your cookie choices
Measurement cookies, which count visits so we can see which pages are worth keeping, are only set if you agree to them. When you first visit you are asked, and nothing is stored until you answer. Declining is a single click on the same footing as accepting.
Advertising cookies are a separate question, asked separately by Google's own certified notice rather than by us. Google is the advertising partner, the cookies are set by Google, and only its notice is certified to record that choice and pass it on, so we do not ask on its behalf.
You can change your mind at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page. Your measurement choice is kept in your browser's own local storage, on your device: it is never sent to us and is not used to identify you.
Cookies already set by an earlier choice can be cleared through your browser settings.
