Collecting and Using Your Information
When you visit Tiny Fishing, we might ask for some information or collect it automatically. Don’t worry, it’s all to make your experience better!
Types of Information We Collect
Personal Data
Sometimes, if you sign up for something special, we might ask for information that helps us know it’s you. This could be:
- Your email address
- Your first name and last name
We only ask for this if we really need it, like if you create an account to save your fishing scores!
Usage Data
This is information our website collects automatically. It helps us see what parts of Tiny Fishing are popular and what we can improve. It includes things like:
- Your device’s internet address (called an IP address)
- What type of web browser you’re using (like Chrome or Firefox)
- Which pages you visit on our site and when
- How long you stay on a page
If you visit us on a phone or tablet, we might also know what kind of mobile device you’re using. This just helps us make sure our website looks great on all screens!
Tracking Tools and Cookies
We use tiny tools, like cookies, to help our website work well and remember things. Think of them as small digital notes.
- Cookies: These are the little files we talked about earlier. They sit on your device. You can tell your web browser to say “no thank you” to cookies, but then some parts of our website might not work perfectly.
- Web Beacons: These are super tiny, invisible pictures on our website or in emails. They help us count how many people visit a page or open an email.
Some cookies are like sticky notes that stay for a while (Persistent Cookies), and some disappear when you close your browser (Session Cookies). We use both kinds to make your visit smooth and fun!
- Cookies for Basic Website Stuff: These are super important for the website to work. They help you log in and make sure everything is safe.
- Cookies for Remembering Your Choices: These cookies help us remember things like your favorite language or if you’ve already agreed to our cookie rules. This means you don’t have to tell us every time!
How We Use Your Information
We use the data we collect for a few good reasons:
- To keep our Tiny Fishing website running smoothly and to see how people are using it.
- To help you with your Account, if you have one, so you can enjoy special features.
- If you buy something from us (like a cool fishing game!), we use your info to complete that purchase.
- To send you emails or messages about important updates for Tiny Fishing or things you’ve shown interest in.
- To answer your questions and help you out if you contact us.
- If Tiny Fishing ever joined with another company, your information might be part of that change.
- To learn more about what people like, so we can make our website, games, and offers even better for you!
Sharing Your Information
We don’t share your information with just anyone, but here are a few times we might:
- With our Service Providers: These are the helpers we mentioned who make sure our website works well.
- For big business changes: If Tiny Fishing ever changes hands, your information might move with it.
- With our family of companies: If we have other websites or games, we might share information within our own group.
- With partners: Sometimes we work with other companies to offer you cool products or promotions.
- If you share information in public areas of our website, others might see it.
- If you say it’s okay: We might share your info if you give us permission.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We only keep your information for as long as we need it to do what we’ve explained in this policy. For example, if we have a legal rule we must follow, we’ll keep it for that time. We also keep a little bit of usage data to help us make the website better and safer.
Where Your Information Might Go
Our company’s computers are in the UK, but sometimes the people who help us (our Service Providers) might be in other countries. This means your information could be stored or used in a different place. We always make sure that wherever it goes, it’s looked after safely, just like in the UK.
By using our website, you agree to your information being moved like this, but don’t worry, we always keep it safe!
Your Right to Your Information
You have the right to ask us to change or even delete the personal information we have about you. If you have an account, you can usually do this yourself in your account settings.
You can also contact us if you need help changing or deleting your information. Just remember, sometimes we have to keep certain information if a law tells us to.
When We Might Have to Share Your Information
Big Business Changes
If Tiny Fishing ever joins with another company, your Personal Data might be transferred. We’ll always let you know before this happens.
Law Enforcement
Sometimes, if the law says we have to, we might need to share your information with police or government groups. We only do this if we really have to.
Other Important Reasons
We might also share your information if we believe it’s necessary to:
- Follow the law.
- Protect Tiny Fishing‘s rights or property.
- Stop bad things from happening on our website.
- Keep everyone safe, including you!
- Protect ourselves from legal problems.
Keeping Your Information Safe
We try our very best to keep your personal information safe and sound! We use special tools and methods to protect it. However, because the internet is a huge place, no method of keeping information safe is 100% perfect. We promise to always do our best though!
Kids and Privacy (Children’s Privacy)
Our Tiny Fishing website is made for everyone, but we don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old. If you are a parent or guardian and you think your child has given us their personal information, please tell us right away!
If we find out we accidentally collected information from a child under 13 without a parent’s permission, we will quickly remove it from our computers. Your child’s online safety is super important to us!
Links to Other Websites
Sometimes, our website might have links that take you to other websites. These other websites are not run by us. If you click on one of these links, you’ll go to that other website. We always suggest you read their privacy rules too, because they might be different from ours.
We can’t control what those other websites do, so we’re not responsible for their rules or how they handle your information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Just like fishing spots can change, our privacy rules might change sometimes too! If we make any big changes, we’ll update this page here.
We might also try to let you know by email or with a special message on our website before the changes happen. We’ll always update the “Last updated” date right at the top of this page.
It’s a good idea to check this page once in a while to see if anything new has happened. Any changes become active as soon as we put them here.
