Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 September 2026

Who we are

This site produces free tools and games that run in the tab. Some tool and game pages show one AdSense strip to pay hosting. It is not a social network. The domain is just the host. This Privacy Policy explains what we store, how cookies and advertising work, and how Ad Wall payments are handled.

Information we collect

Because the games and web tools are interactive, we collect and store only the data necessary to keep them running:

Gameplay Data: Clicks and public totals for Cats vs Dogs, pixel placements for The Open Wall, rental details for Ad Wall, and Perfect Circle scores. Cats vs Dogs may also request a country code from ipapi.co so the country board can group taps; if that lookup fails the page uses XX. If a Perfect Circle score makes the public Hall of Perfect, we store the score, the time it was locked in, and the three-character name you choose (letters and numbers only). Personal bests on Perfect Circle are also kept on your device so the game can show them next time. Solitaire can post a three-character name and time to its Hall of Klondike when a deal beats that board.

Contact Submissions: If you use the Contact form, we store the message you send and any name or email you optionally provide, so we can review tool ideas and reply when needed.

Usage Data: Standard technical logs (such as IP addresses and browser details) necessary for site security, performance, and operational integrity. We do not build personal profiles for marketing purposes.

In-browser tools: Most games and utilities run only in your tab. Photos, text, and lists you open there are not uploaded to our servers. Some tools keep a setting or last list on your device (local storage) so they still work next time.

Cookies and tracking

We use cookies and browser storage where a page needs them: to keep the site usable, to remember a setting or a Perfect Circle best and name on this device, and — on pages that load AdSense — to allow that advertising. Some game settings are also stored in your browser’s local storage.

Google Analytics is not installed site-wide. In the live source, a Google tag (G-6TNYMGNKJ8) appears on Cats vs Dogs, Perfect Circle, Online Pixel Canvas, and Online Billboard. It does not appear on the homepage, the Games or Utilities menus, About, Contact, Privacy, Terms, or the classic in-tab game and utility pages.

Advertising, AdSense, and third-party cookies

Many game and utility pages show one horizontal ad strip served by Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-7091612586879844). That strip is not site-wide. It is absent from the homepage, Games, Utilities, About, Contact, Privacy, Terms, Online Pixel Canvas, and Online Billboard.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. These are third-party vendor cookies. They may be set by Google AdSense and by Google’s advertising partners when an ad strip loads. They can be used to show personalized or non-personalized ads, to measure how ads perform, and to stop you seeing the same ad too often.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the web. This site uses cookies for Google AdSense in line with Google’s advertising cookie requirements, including the option to serve non-personalized ads where required.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. How Google uses data on partner sites is in Google’s advertising technologies and Google’s Privacy & Terms.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Blocking advertising cookies may mean you still see ads, but they are less likely to match your interests. First-party local storage used by a tool (a last list, a personal best) is separate from AdSense cookies.

Payments

Purchases for Ad Wall squares are processed via Stripe as a one-time payment (priced at £2 per square for a 30-day placement).

You will confirm the final amount directly on Stripe's secure payment page before completing any transaction.

We do not collect, log, or store full payment card numbers on social-hub.io.

All payment processing is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

User-generated content

The Open Wall and Ad Wall display content generated by users. Perfect Circle’s Hall of Perfect and Solitaire’s Hall of Klondike show the three-character names and scores that make those boards. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech, NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content, and disruptive material.

We reserve the right to remove any violating content at our discretion.

Ad Wall rentals that breach these guidelines will be removed immediately without a refund. Full usage rules for the canvas and the billboard are on Terms.
