Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 2023
1. Introduction and Data Controller
Welcome to Gummy Bear Fiesta. Pectin Entertainment Ltd acts as the primary Data Controller for any information processed while you enjoy our free social games. We are fully committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Although you do not need an account to play games like Canopy Cascades, we may collect minimal diagnostic data to ensure the site functions correctly.
2. The Data We Collect
Because Gummy Bear Fiesta requires no registration or login, we do not collect personal identifiers like names, addresses, or banking details. Pectin Pearls are entirely virtual, so no financial transactions occur. We only collect basic technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, and anonymized session interaction data when you play Lord Pectin's Plinko or Geode Sweeper.
3. Lawful Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, our lawful basis for processing this limited technical data is our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional web platform. We use this data to monitor site performance, prevent abuse, and ensure a smooth experience for all users participating in the Gummy Bear Fiesta. We do not use your data for targeted profiling or automated decision-making.
4. Data Sharing and Transfers
Pectin Entertainment Ltd does not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties. Your technical data may be shared with trusted web hosting and analytics providers solely to keep Gummy Bear Fiesta operational. All such providers are required to comply strictly with UK data protection laws, and any international data transfers are protected by standard contractual clauses.
5. Data Retention
We only retain technical logs for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, typically no longer than 90 days. Because you do not hold an account and Pectin Pearls are session-based, there is no persistent player profile stored on our servers. Once the retention period expires, the technical data is securely deleted or anonymized.
6. Your Data Subject Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of any personal data we may hold about you. You also possess the right to data portability and the right to object to processing. To exercise these rights regarding your use of Gummy Bear Fiesta, please contact us at support@gummybearfiesta.com.
7. Cookies and Tracking
We use essential cookies to maintain your session balance of Pectin Pearls and ensure site security. For detailed information on how we use these technologies and how you can control them, please review our comprehensive Cookie Policy. Consent for non-essential cookies will always be collected prior to their deployment.
8. Complaints to the ICO
If you are unhappy with how Pectin Entertainment Ltd handles your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns first, so please contact support@gummybearfiesta.com before approaching the ICO. Your privacy and enjoyment of our free games remain our top priority.
