Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 24, 2023

1. Introduction and Data Controller Identity

Welcome to Golden Pirate Legends. Starlit Buccaneers Entertainment Ltd acts as the Data Controller under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our players while they enjoy our free social casino games. This policy outlines how we process data when you interact with our platform.

2. Data Collection and Lawful Basis

As Golden Pirate Legends requires no registration or account creation, we do not collect traditional personal identifiers such as names or addresses. We rely on our legitimate interests to process technical data, such as IP addresses and browser types, to ensure platform stability. This data allows us to deliver Constellation Cascade and Captain Orion's Astrolabe seamlessly to your device.

3. Game Data and Virtual Currency

To provide a persistent experience, we store your Astral Doubloons balance locally on your device. This ensures your progress in our games is maintained between sessions. This data processing is strictly necessary to provide the simulated casino experience you expect from our platform.

4. Data Subject Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or request the erasure of any personal data we may hold. You also possess the right to data portability and the right to object to our processing. Because we do not maintain central user accounts, fulfilling these requests may require you to provide specific technical identifiers.

5. Data Security

We implement robust technical and organisational measures to secure the Golden Pirate Legends platform. All interactions, including the simulated spinning of Captain Orion's Astrolabe and the dropping of stars in Constellation Cascade, occur over encrypted connections. We regularly review our security protocols to meet UK standards.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use analytics providers to understand how visitors engage with our free social casino. These third parties only process aggregated data to help us improve the layout and functionality of our games. They are contractually bound to comply with UK data protection laws.

7. Children's Privacy

Golden Pirate Legends is strictly for individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently processed data from a minor, we will immediately delete such information from our records.

8. Cookies

Our platform utilises cookies and similar technologies to manage your session and store your Astral Doubloons balance. For comprehensive details on how we use these technologies and how you can control them, please refer to our dedicated Cookie Policy.

9. International Data Transfers

If we transfer your data outside the UK, we ensure it is protected by appropriate safeguards. These transfers are conducted in accordance with the UK GDPR, ensuring your privacy rights remain fully protected regardless of where the data is processed.

10. Data Retention

We retain technical logs and analytics data only for as long as necessary to maintain the Golden Pirate Legends platform. Since we do not hold registered accounts, your local game progress and Astral Doubloons balance are retained on your device until you clear your browser data.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our games or UK regulatory requirements. We encourage players to review this page occasionally. Continued play on Constellation Cascade or Captain Orion's Astrolabe constitutes acknowledgment of these updates.

12. Complaints to the ICO

If you have concerns about our data practices, please contact us first at support@goldenpiratelegends.com. You also have the right to lodge a formal complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent authority set up to uphold information rights.
