| What is held | What for | Kept for how long |
|---|---|---|
| Chosen name | What the reels call you | Until the account is deleted |
| Email on file | So the farm knows which account to let back in | Until the account is deleted |
| Password hash | Letting you back in without the farm ever holding the password | Until the account is deleted |
| Sign-up date | Answering you, and stopping misuse | Until the account is deleted |
That is the entire list. We never ask for your real name, your address, your date of birth, your telephone number or any payment detail, because nothing on this farm is for sale. Your password is held only as a one-way hash. Lawful basis: performance of a contract (handing you the account you asked for). Deleting your account takes all of it away at once, and the button for that sits on your account page.
| What is held | Reason it is stored | Kept for how long |
|---|---|---|
| Coin basket, level, missions, game settings | Picking your game back up | Until this site’s data is cleared |
| Age confirmation | Sparing you the same question on every page | Until this site’s data is cleared |
| Cookie choice | Keeping track of your choice | Until this site’s data is cleared |
All of that sits on your own device and is never sent to us.
Say yes to “Accept all” and Google Analytics and Google Ads tags begin measuring visits, and whether an advert led to any play, a first spin for example. Google then receives your IP address, device information and those events. Say “Essential only” instead and the same tags run in consent mode, setting no cookies and using no advertising identifiers. Lawful basis: consent.
Our host keeps ordinary request logs for security for a short while. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.
Your data can be seen, corrected, erased or restricted whenever you ask, its processing objected to, and any consent withdrawn. Deleting the account from the account page erases the account data immediately; clearing this site’s data in the browser deals with the remainder. The ICO takes complaints at ico.org.uk.
Only adults aged 18 or over may use Cressbrook Hatchworks. The coins in every world are virtual, carry no monetary value and cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. Nowhere along the stream is there a coin shop or a payment page, no prize of real-world value is on offer, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
