Information for parents
To all parents and guardians,
At FireWaterduo, we are serious about children’s safety on our website. We fully understand your concerns about the digital well-being of your kids. Below you can find information about our site that helps you understand how we operate and keep our environment safe.
Should you have additional questions, you can always contact us at [email protected].
What is FireWaterduo.com?
FireWaterduo is a browser-based gaming website capable of being enjoyed by players of all ages, though our primary audience is children and teenagers aged 13+.
Unlike general arcade sites, we specialize in Co-Operative (Co-Op) and 2-Player Games. Our content focuses on teamwork, logic puzzles, and problem-solving. We host titles like Fireboy and Watergirl, where players must work together to solve levels. Because the website displays advertisements, users can play our games for free without subscription fees.
How can I guarantee the safety of my child?
We strive to make our platform safe, but internet safety is a shared responsibility. For your child’s safety online, we recommend that:
- Supervision: If your child is younger than 13, we recommend you supervise their gaming sessions to ensure they are playing age-appropriate content.
- Privacy: Your child should never give away personal details, such as their real name, home address, email address, or phone number, in any game or chat interface.
- Usernames: If a game requires a nickname, ensure your child picks a safe username that does not reveal their identity (e.g., use “BlueGamer22” instead of “JohnSmith2012”).
- Communication: Your child knows that they should come to you immediately if they ever see content or ads that make them feel uncomfortable.
What actions do you take to guarantee safety?
We screen the content of our website carefully. We do not publish games that contain:
- Explicit violence or gore.
- Sexual content or nudity.
- Hate speech or discriminatory themes.
We manually review games before they appear on our homepage to ensure they fit our “Teamwork and Puzzle” focus. Furthermore, we ask our game developers and partners to use language filters in any multiplayer chat features to prevent unacceptable language.
Can my child spend money on this website?
FireWaterduo is a free-to-play website. You do not need a credit card to access our games.
- In-Game Purchases: While the vast majority of our games are completely free, some third-party games may offer optional in-game items (like skins or power-ups). These are not required to play.
What can I do if my child sees an inappropriate ad?
We use third-party advertising networks (like Google AdSense) to keep the site free. We restrict our advertisement categories to be suitable for a general audience (SafeSearch compatible).
However, if you or your child come across an ad that you believe is inappropriate, please let us know immediately. You can send an email to [email protected] with a screenshot and a description of the ad. We will investigate the matter with our ad partners to block that specific advertiser.
Do you collect Personal Data from children?
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. All questions on data collection are answered in our Privacy Policy. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has inadvertently given us information, please email us at [email protected]. To protect privacy, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity as the legal guardian before taking action on the data.
