Privacy Policy

Why Do We Collect Data?

Engaging with Golden Reel Games and Apps naturally generates certain information about your activity. This personal data is either shared by you directly or recorded automatically by our systems. We primarily rely on this information to power the core functions of the games you play, keep your account secure, and support our operations (for example, through personalized advertisements).

Installing and launching our applications means we process specific details to serve essential business functions. Below is a breakdown of exactly why we need this information and the legal frameworks that allow us to use it.

Powering Core Game Features

In order to actually run the game you downloaded—like saving your progress or loading the next stage—we must process gameplay data.

Legal Justification – Legitimate Interest: This data usage is strictly necessary to make the game function as intended.

Performance Analytics and Improvement

We study how players engage with our titles so we can pinpoint issues (like an overly difficult puzzle) and enhance overall gameplay. We perform these measurements both internally and alongside external partners.

Legal Justification for Third-Party Analysis – Express Consent: Where local regulations demand it, we will never share your metrics with external agencies unless you explicitly opt-in via an in-game prompt.

Legal Justification for Internal Analysis – Legitimate Interest: Information processed purely through our proprietary, in-house review systems is crucial for our continuous improvement and is never exposed to outsiders.

Delivering Personalized Advertisements

To keep our games free to play, we show advertisements. By learning about your preferences, we can display commercial messages that are actually relevant to your interests.

Legal Justification – Express Consent: If you live in a region that requires upfront permission, we strictly wait for you to agree via an in-game notice before sharing your data to personalize these ads.

You have full control over this choice. You can easily revoke your advertising consent through the in-game settings at any moment. Keep in mind, denying this Tracking won't stop ads from appearing entirely—it just means the ads you see will be generic rather than tailored to you.

It is important to note that our company actively avoids collecting direct, real-world identifiers (like your real name or home address). Instead, we rely exclusively on technical device identifiers and localized data points.

Specifically, the information we track includes:

Certain titles offer you the option to link external profiles (like Apple Game Center or Google Play) so that your save files remain synchronized and secure across multiple phones or tablets. If you opt into this cross-save feature, we securely encrypt and log the associated email address. This encrypted address acts strictly as a recovery lifeline or support tool. Unless you explicitly ask us to, we will never distribute this email to outside entities. We may, however, send you occasional updates or news closely related to our games if you choose to subscribe to such alerts.

Selling your personal information is strictly against our policy. However, operating a modern mobile game requires integrating with external vendors. We hold our third-party associates to the exact same rigorous privacy standards that we apply ourselves.

In jurisdictions where the law dictates it, no data leaves our servers without your definitive affirmative consent.

If you have authorized data sharing for ads or analytics, your information might be sent to the following types of organizations:

Advertising Networks:

We partner with external ad agencies to fund the continued development of our free-to-play catalog. These agencies typically plug directly into our games via SDKs to measure and deliver ads. For full transparency, you can review the specific privacy policies of our current monetization partners here:

Legal and Government Entities:

We will only disclose your information to law enforcement or government authorities if we are legally compelled to do so.

Data Retention Periods

Information is purged as soon as it outlives its original operational purpose. We refuse to hoard unnecessary logs.

Specifically, player-level profiles usually expire and are wiped within 12 months of inactivity. Aggregated, internal statistical data may persist in our private analytics warehouse for a maximum of two years, completely in line with standard regulatory recommendations.

Protecting Minors

The safety of younger players is a top priority. We purposefully avoid collecting information from anyone younger than 16 years of age. Should you be under this age threshold, we ask that you do not install or play our titles.

Cross-Border Data Flows

Because our service partners span the globe, your data might occasionally travel outside the European Union. Whenever this happens, we make absolutely certain that:

• The destination nation enforces privacy laws recognized as uniformly robust as those in Europe.
• In instances where local laws fall short, we bind our partners with legally binding safeguards—such as the Standard Contractual Clauses endorsed by the European Commission—to guarantee uninterrupted data safety.

You are the ultimate owner of your digital footprint, and you exercise full authority over it. Simply write to our dedicated DPO at contact@goldenreel.games if you wish to:

• Receive a full digital copy of every trace of data we hold about you.
• Retract any previous permissions you granted regarding data collection.
• Demand the complete and permanent deletion of your profile.

Managing Your Preferences

Taking control of what you share is as simple as opening the privacy configuration menu inside any of our games.

Even though we never sell your records, we do transmit usage patterns to approved analytics and ad vendors to curate your experience.

If you prefer total privacy in this regard, modifying your in-game consent toggles will instantly halt any outward data transmission to these partners.

Profile Verification and Erasure

If you are simply curious about what we know, you are entitled to ask. Alternatively, whether using the internal app functions or emailing us directly, you can trigger a full account deletion. We process all such inbound requests with the utmost urgency.

Data Corrections and Anonymization

Should you discover errors in your profile, you hold the right to have them rectified immediately. Furthermore, if you believe we have no continuing legitimate need to hold your data, you can mandate its removal.

To cleanly separate your device from our past records, you can:

• Manually refresh your hardware's Advertising ID through your phone settings (like toggling 'Limit Ad Tracking' for Apple or resetting your Android AAID). This severs the link between your device and past logs, ensuring future transparency.
• Send a formal erasure request to our support inbox to trigger a manual, permanent destruction of your localized records.

Taking Your Data With You

We are fully prepared to export your personal records in a standardized, machine-readable format. If you choose, we can even ship this bundle straight to a new service provider or alternative data controller, assuming your original data exchange was governed by contract or active consent.

Raising Regulatory Concerns

If you feel your privacy rights have been violated, you maintain the absolute right to escalate the matter to an official Data Protection Authority. As an international studio, you can either contact your regional privacy ombudsman or message our team directly to resolve the dispute.
