Draft. Text in gray brackets is a placeholder we’ll fill in before launch.
Canny Gambit Games (“we”, “us”) makes games, including Tiki Boom Boom. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, play our games or join our beta tester list, how we use it, and the choices you have. We collect as little as we need to make our games better.
Who we are
Canny Gambit Games is operated by [legal entity name], [mailing address]. For any privacy question or request, email [privacy email].
What we collect
Information you give us
- Email address, if you sign up as a beta tester. Signing up is optional and is not required to play.
- Feedback and survey answers, if you choose to send them. Some surveys may ask optional questions such as your age range or the kinds of games you play. You can skip any question.
- Messages you send us by email.
Information collected automatically
- Gameplay data while you play, such as levels played, moves, scores, time played, and errors or crashes. We use it to find levels that are too hard, too easy or broken. It is not linked to your name, and it is linked to your email only if you are a signed-up beta tester and we tell you so in the game.
- Basic technical data, such as browser type, device type, screen size, approximate country and pages visited, collected by our hosting and analytics providers.
- Game progress saved on your device in your browser’s local storage, so you can pick up where you left off. It stays on your device unless the game tells you otherwise.
We do not collect payment details, precise location, contacts, or information from your social media accounts.
How we use it
- To run, fix and improve our website and games
- To understand how people play, so we can tune difficulty and make the games more fun
- To send beta testers updates about our games, new features, releases, surveys and feedback sessions
- To reply to your messages
- To keep our services secure and prevent abuse
- To meet legal obligations
Where the law requires a legal basis (for example in the EU and UK), we rely on your consent for the beta email list and optional surveys, and on our legitimate interest in running and improving our games for gameplay and technical data.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site and games, and only as needed for that work:
- Hosting and security: [hosting provider]
- Email for the beta list: [email provider]
- Analytics: [analytics provider, or none]
- Surveys and feedback forms: [survey provider]
We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a sale or merger of our business, in which case this policy continues to apply to your information.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use local storage to save your game progress and settings. [Cookie and analytics details] You can clear local storage and cookies in your browser settings at any time, but this will erase your saved game progress.
How long we keep it
- Beta tester emails: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them
- Gameplay and technical data: up to [retention period] after the beta ends, then deleted or fully anonymized
- Feedback, survey answers and messages: as long as useful for improving our games, up to [retention period]
Your choices and rights
- Unsubscribe from beta emails at any time using the link in any email.
- Access, correct or delete your information by emailing [privacy email].
- Clear saved game data by clearing your browser’s site data.
Depending on where you live, including the EU, the UK and US states such as California, you may have extra rights: to receive a copy of your data, to object to or limit how we use it, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We will respond within the time the law requires and will not treat you differently for using these rights.
Children
Our website and beta are intended for people aged [minimum age] and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, email [privacy email] and we will delete it.
Where your data is processed
We are based in [country], and our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. When we transfer data from the EU or UK, we rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect your information, such as encrypted connections and limited access. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy as our games and website change, for example if we add accounts, purchases or ads. We will change the “Last updated” date above, and for significant changes we will tell beta testers by email.
