Privacy: Storage and Network Observations

The official website of 4share.

The official website of 4share. This independent guide explains the data practices observable in the 4share Directed Safe Reverse virtual-coin demo. The observed facts are limited to local storage usage and external font requests. The presence of these elements does not establish that the demo is anonymous, that no tracking occurs, that data is not collected or sold, or that processing is exclusive to a local device.

Local Storage Usage

The game source explicitly uses localStorage to persist specific state data. This storage is observable within the browser environment but does not confirm the absence of other data processing methods.

  • Settled Balance: The current virtual coin balance, including zero balances, is stored locally.
  • Fractional Carry: Any fractional change in balance is preserved through settlement, manual refill, and page reloads.

Clearing cached files may leave this local storage intact if the browser retains it. The absence of an account system in the demo does not prove that no personal data are processed elsewhere.

Network Requests

The publication builder includes a Google Fonts stylesheet and a Statinside visit-counter script with account ID 44, plus a noscript pixel. These are source declarations; published-page network requests are checked separately. Local balance and fractional carry do not establish anonymity, absence of tracking, or exclusively local processing. Server-log contents and retention have not been verified.

Scope of Privacy Claims

Source declarations describe only part of the site’s data processing. They do not establish a comprehensive privacy policy, anonymity, absence of profiling, or whether data is sold. Server-log contents and retention have not been verified.

Wallet and Account Data

The demo uses a virtual wallet that persists locally.

  • No Account: There is no account login flow or payment processing within this demo.
  • No KYC: No identity verification or document upload is required for the demo.

This absence of account controls in the demo does not prove that the actual service (if any) does not process personal data. The virtual coins have no cash value and are not tied to a real-world identity in this environment.

Removing Local Site Data

Clearing cached files and removing site data are different actions. Cache clearing may leave localStorage intact; removing this site’s stored data may delete the balance and fractional carry. Browser clearing options vary.

Audience and Responsibility

The 18+ intended audience policy applies to this guide. It is not a universal legal age or an implemented age gate.

Responsible use includes monitoring your time and virtual-coin usage. The demo does not clinically train behavior or make losses safe. For appropriate local qualified help, consult relevant resources in your jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions

Does using localStorage mean my data is anonymous?

No. The use of localStorage for balance and fractional carry does not establish anonymity. Other data processing or tracking methods may still be in use.

What third-party services are used?

The publication builder includes a Google Fonts stylesheet and a Statinside visit-counter script with account ID 44, plus a noscript pixel. These are source declarations; published-page network requests are checked separately. Local balance and fractional carry do not establish anonymity, absence of tracking, or exclusively local processing. Server-log contents and retention have not been verified.

Does the demo collect personal data?

The demo provides no account or payment forms. This does not establish the absence of server or third-party data processing.
