Welcome to Plinko Birds. Your trust is the foundation of our community. This Privacy Notice explains how we handle your personal information. We are dedicated to protecting your data. Our goal is to be completely transparent about the information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it. This document, updated for 2026, outlines our firm commitment to robust data protection standards. We want you to enjoy our games with complete peace of mind, knowing your privacy is secure.

What Information We Gather and Why

To provide a seamless gaming experience, we need to gather certain types of data. We categorise this into two groups: information you give us directly and information collected automatically as you play. Transparency is key. We only ask for what is absolutely necessary to operate and improve our service for you.

Data You Provide Directly

When you register for an account, you share specific details with us. This is essential for creating and managing your profile. This information includes:

• Account Details: Your username, email address, and password. We use this to identify you and secure your account.
• Communication: Any information you provide when you contact our support team. This helps us resolve your queries effectively.
• Profile Information: Optional details you might add, like an avatar or nickname, to personalise your experience.

Data We Collect Automatically

As you use our platform, we automatically gather some technical data. This information helps us optimise game performance and enhance security. This process is vital for providing a stable and enjoyable service. This data includes:

• Device Information: Your IP address, device type, operating system, and browser type. This helps us tailor the user experience to your specific device.
• Usage Data: Details about your gameplay, such as scores, levels achieved, and in-game actions. We analyse this to improve our games.
• Cookies: We use cookies to understand site traffic and user preferences. This enables us to remember your settings and provide a personalised experience.

The Legal Basis for Processing Your Information

Our processing of personal data is always grounded in a solid legal basis as defined by GDPR. We don’t collect information without a legitimate reason. Every piece of data has a purpose, and that purpose is always linked to a lawful justification. This ensures our practices are not just ethical but also fully compliant with UK regulations.

Our primary legal foundations for data processing are:

1. Contractual Necessity: We process data required to fulfil our service agreement with you. This includes setting up your account and enabling gameplay.
2. Legitimate Interests: We use data to improve our services, prevent fraud, and ensure security. We always balance these interests against your fundamental rights and freedoms.
3. Informed Consent: For activities like marketing communications, we will always ask for your explicit consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time.
4. Legal Obligation: Sometimes, we may need to process your data to comply with legal or regulatory duties.

How We Safeguard and Store Your Data

Information security is a top priority at Plinko Birds. We have implemented robust technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. Your information is stored on secure servers, and we use SSL Encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our platform. Confidentiality is paramount in all our operations.

We limit access to your personal data to employees and trusted partners who have a legitimate business need to know. They are bound by strict confidentiality obligations. We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator where we are legally required to do so. Data storage periods are determined by legal requirements and the time necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy.
