Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2023
1. Introduction to Our Privacy Practices
Welcome to Origami Lotus Play. This Privacy Policy details how Origami Entertainment UK Ltd (the 'Data Controller') collects, uses, and protects your personal information. Our platform is a free-to-play social casino, and we are committed to upholding the rigorous standards of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Your privacy is as meticulously protected as our intricate papercraft games.
2. Data Collection and Lawful Basis
When you enjoy our simulated games like Lotus Bloom or Crane's Flight, we process minimal, non-identifying analytical data to ensure smooth gameplay. The lawful basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in providing a functional, enjoyable, and secure entertainment platform. Since no accounts or registrations are required, we do not harvest extensive personal profiles, keeping your experience light and anonymous.
3. Virtual Currency and Gameplay Analytics
To track your session balance of 'Paper Petals', we utilise local browser storage rather than central server databases. We may monitor aggregated gameplay statistics across Origami Lotus Play to improve our services. This data is strictly statistical and cannot be traced back to you individually, ensuring your time in the paper garden remains entirely private.
4. Your Data Subject Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to, rectification, or erasure of any personal data we might hold, as well as the right to data portability. Due to our no-login architecture, the ability to identify specific user data is exceptionally limited. However, should you wish to exercise these rights regarding any communications you've sent us, you may contact our dedicated privacy team.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Origami Lotus Play utilises strictly necessary cookies to keep track of your current Paper Petals balance and gameplay state during your visit. For detailed information regarding our use of these technologies, and to learn how to manage your preferences, please consult our separate Cookie Policy. We ensure all cookie usage complies strictly with UK PECR guidelines.
6. Data Retention and Security
We only retain support correspondence or technical logs for as long as necessary to resolve queries or maintain the security of our platform. We employ robust, industry-standard encryption to protect our servers and your connection to Origami Lotus Play. We do not share, sell, or distribute your information to third-party marketing agencies.
7. Children's Privacy
Origami Lotus Play is strictly an 18+ environment. We do not knowingly collect or solicit data from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will delete it immediately, in compliance with our legal obligations.
8. Complaints to the ICO
If you have concerns about how Origami Entertainment UK Ltd handles your data, we encourage you to contact us first at support@origamilotusplay.com. You also retain the right to lodge a formal complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection issues.
