Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 26, 2023

1. Welcome to Lantern Bay

This Privacy Policy explains how Lantern Bay Entertainment Ltd ('we', 'our', or 'us') collects, uses, and protects your data when you visit lanternbayplay.com. Our site offers free social casino games, including Bioluminescent Depths and Tidepool Treasures, using virtual Glow Embers. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. Data Controller

Lantern Bay Entertainment Ltd, located at 14 Harbour View Road, Bristol, BS8 4QT, United Kingdom, is the designated data controller. This means we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal information about you. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at support@lanternbayplay.com.

3. The Data We Collect

Because Lantern Bay requires no user registration, accounts, or logins, the data we collect is minimal. We only process anonymous technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and interactions with our games like Lantern Cascade. This helps us ensure the site functions smoothly and securely.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we process this limited technical data based on our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests include operating our free social casino website, monitoring the performance of our games, and protecting our platform from fraudulent activity or abuse. We do not process data for targeted advertising or profiling.

5. How We Use Your Data

The information we collect is used strictly to provide and improve the Lantern Bay experience. For example, technical logs help us save your virtual Glow Embers balance locally on your device via standard web storage. We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties.

6. Data Retention

We only retain your technical data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for. Server logs related to gameplay on Bioluminescent Depths and other site activities are typically securely deleted after 30 days. Local storage containing your Glow Embers balance remains on your device until you clear your browser data.

7. Your Data Subject Rights

Under UK data protection laws, you have rights including the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict the processing of your personal data. Because we do not hold identifiable account information, fulfilling these requests may require you to provide additional technical details. Please email support@lanternbayplay.com to exercise your rights.

8. Cookies and Tracking

Our platform relies on small text files known as cookies to function. These are necessary to track your Glow Embers and remember your interactions with games like Tidepool Treasures. For full details on how we use these technologies, please refer to our separate Cookie Policy.

9. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way. All connections to lanternbayplay.com are encrypted. We limit access to our server logs to authorized personnel only.

10. Complaints to the ICO

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO.
