Welcome to Ancient Island Treasures. The data controller for this website is Ancient Island Entertainment UK Ltd. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying fully with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2. Information We Collect
As a free-to-play social casino, we do not require user accounts. We only collect basic, anonymized usage data necessary to run the site. This includes interaction metrics from games like Volcanic Cascades and Temple Drop, as well as your current balance of Sunstones.
3. Lawful Basis for Processing
We process your non-identifiable usage data based on our legitimate interest to provide and improve the Ancient Island Treasures experience. Your consent is requested for non-essential cookies via our consent banner upon entry.
4. How We Use Your Data
The data collected ensures that your virtual Sunstones are accurately maintained during your session. It also helps us track the performance and stability of our games, such as Tidal Pools, to ensure continuous, seamless entertainment.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
Ancient Island Treasures does not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties. We may share anonymized analytical data with trusted UK-based service providers purely for website hosting and performance monitoring.
6. International Data Transfers
All primary processing occurs within the United Kingdom. If any data is transferred outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) guidelines.
7. Data Security
We implement robust technical measures to protect the integrity of the Ancient Island Treasures platform. Although no personal accounts are stored, we secure all session data against unauthorized access.
8. Your Data Subject Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, and portability of your personal data. Because we do not collect identifiable personal data, we provide mechanisms to reset your Sunstones and clear session data locally.
9. Use of Cookies
Our platform relies on local storage and cookies to save your game progress and Sunstones balance. Please refer to our detailed Cookie Policy below for comprehensive information on how to manage these.
