Your Privacy at Tidebell Harbour (UK GDPR)

Who keeps your data in trust

The controller for personal data processed through tidebellharbour.com is the operator of tidebellharbour.com. Contact: [email protected].

What a harbour account holds

Data we keep	Purpose of it	Kept until when
Nickname	Naming you in the game	Until you delete the account
Email address	Knowing your account when you come back to sign in	Until you delete the account
Password hash	Confirming your sign-in without our ever storing the password	Until you delete the account
Sign-up date	Support and abuse handling	Until you delete the account

And that is everything. Your real name, home address, date of birth, phone number and payment details are never requested, as nothing on the site is paid for. Passwords are held only as a one-way hash. Lawful basis: performance of a contract (supplying the account you signed up for). When you delete the account, every item above goes at once; the button for it sits on your account page.

Kept on your device, not ours

Data we keep	Job it does	Kept until when
Coins, level, missions and the settings of each game	Continuing your game	Until you clear browser data
Age confirmation	So the same question is not asked page after page	Until you clear browser data
Cookie choice	Remembering your consent	Until you clear browser data

This stays on your own device; none of it is sent to us.

Google tags, only when you say yes

Pick “Accept all” and Google Analytics and Google Ads tags measure visits and whether our adverts end in play — for instance, that a first spin took place. For this, Google receives your IP address, details of your device and those events. Pick “Essential only” and the tags work in consent mode, setting no cookies and using no advertising identifiers. Lawful basis: consent.

Host server logs

Security needs mean our host retains standard request logs for a short period. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.

What we will not do with your data

We never take payment data, since there is nothing to buy.
Marketing email only arrives if you ask us for it.
Selling or renting your data to anyone is something we never do.
We pass nothing to gambling operators and run no gambling affiliate links.

Your rights, in plain terms

You have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict your data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent whenever you like. Deleting your account from the account page clears its data straight away, and clearing this site’s data in your browser deals with whatever remains. If you wish to complain, the ICO is at ico.org.uk.
