Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 24, 20231. Introduction and Data Controller
Welcome to the Celestial Reef Privacy Policy. Celestial Reef Entertainment Ltd acts as the data controller for the information collected on this platform. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR. Because our site requires no accounts or login, the personal data we process is strictly limited to technical identifiers necessary to provide a seamless free-to-play experience.
2. Lawful Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, our lawful basis for processing your technical data is our legitimate interest in delivering and maintaining the Celestial Reef website. This includes ensuring that your Starpearls balance is temporarily saved during your session. We do not process data for targeted advertising or third-party profiling.
3. Data We Collect
As you navigate the cosmic ocean and engage with games like Coral Constellations and Abyssal Descent, we collect anonymous usage data. This includes IP addresses, browser types, and session duration. This information helps us optimize the site's performance and ensure fair functionality of our free-to-play games.
4. Virtual Currency and Game Data
Your interactions with our virtual currency, Starpearls, are processed purely to facilitate continuous gameplay. Since Starpearls have no real-world value and cannot be purchased, the data surrounding your balance is stored locally on your device and is not linked to an identifiable individual in our centralized databases.
5. Data Retention
We only retain technical logs for as long as necessary to ensure network security and monitor the performance of games like Abyssal Descent. Typically, these temporary session logs are deleted or anonymized within 30 days. Local data, such as your Starpearls, remains on your device until your browser cache is cleared.
6. Your Data Subject Rights
As a UK resident, you have the right to access, rectify, or request the erasure of any personal data we hold, as well as the right to data portability. Given the anonymous nature of Celestial Reef, fulfilling these requests may require you to provide specific technical identifiers. You can contact us at support@celestialreef.co.uk to exercise these rights.
7. Security Measures
Celestial Reef Entertainment Ltd implements robust technical measures to protect against unauthorized access or alteration of your session data. We utilize industry-standard encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers, ensuring your free gameplay remains uninterrupted and secure.
8. Cookies and Tracking
Our platform relies on essential cookies to function correctly, particularly to manage your session and save your Starpearls locally. For a comprehensive breakdown of the specific tracking technologies we use and how to manage them, please refer to our dedicated Cookie Policy.
9. Complaints to the ICO
If you believe that our processing of your data violates UK GDPR regulations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). We encourage you to reach out to us at support@celestialreef.co.uk first, so we may attempt to resolve any concerns you have regarding your privacy on Celestial Reef.
