Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal data:

⚖

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following legal bases (GDPR Article 6):

• ✓ Contract Performance: Processing necessary to provide our game service to you
• ✓ Legitimate Interest: Security, fraud prevention, and service improvement
• ✓ Consent: For optional features like marketing emails

🍪

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies to make our service work properly. Here's what we use:

Since we only use essential and functional cookies, no consent banner is required. We do not use any third-party visitor analytics or tracking product. We do work out our own totals from account activity — how many people played, signed up or bought something on a given day — and those are only ever reported as totals, never used to build a profile of you.

📅

Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. Specifically:

When you delete your account, we remove or anonymize your personal data immediately.

🚨

Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms:

• ✓ We will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach (GDPR Article 33)
• ✓ If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will notify you directly without undue delay (GDPR Article 34)
• ✓ Notifications will include the nature of the breach, likely consequences, and measures taken

🔐

🌎

International Transfers

Our application servers and database are in the European Union.

Some of our service providers operate global networks or are based outside the EU. Where data leaves the EU, the transfer is covered by the safeguards required under Article 46 GDPR — standard contractual clauses or an equivalent approved mechanism — set out in our agreement with each provider. Contact us if you would like details.

• • Content delivery and protection — routes and filters your requests through a global network, which processes your IP address in transit.
• • Payments — card details go directly to the payment processor. We never receive or store them.
• • Error monitoring — if you are signed in, error reports may be processed outside the EU. They contain technical diagnostics and an anonymous account number, never your name or email.
