Your Data on the Cut: Privacy | Lockkeeper Canal (UK GDPR)

Who keeps the data log on the cut

The controller for personal data processed through lockkeepercanal.com is the operator of lockkeepercanal.com. Contact: [email protected].

What your licence carries

Line in the log	Why Jory logs it	Logged until
Nickname	Your name on the lock board	Until you close your account and hand in the licence
Email address	Knowing your licence when you log in again	Until you close your account and hand in the licence
Password hash	Checking your password without us ever storing it	Until you close your account and hand in the licence
Sign-up date	Support replies and dealing with misuse on the cut	Until you close your account and hand in the licence

Nothing more. No real name, no address, no date of birth, no phone number, no payment detail — there is nothing on the canal to pay for. Passwords are stored only as a one-way hash. Lawful basis: performance of a contract (the account you asked us for). Delete your account and all of it goes immediately; the button is on your account page.

Kept in your browser, not by us

Line in the log	Used to	Logged until
Canal coins, level, missions and game settings	Carrying on from your last mooring	Until browser data for the canal is cleared
Age confirmation	Saving you the question on each page	Until browser data for the canal is cleared
Cookie choice	Keeping your cookie answer on file	Until browser data for the canal is cleared

All of it stays on your device; none of it reaches the lock cottage.

Google tags, after your yes and not before

“Accept all” switches on Google Analytics and Google Ads tags, which measure visits and whether our adverts lead to play (for instance, that a first spin happened). Google receives your IP address, device information and those events. “Essential only” keeps the tags in consent mode, with no cookies and no advertising identifiers. Lawful basis: consent.

Host logs at the lock cottage

Our host keeps ordinary request logs briefly, for security reasons. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.

Lines we do not cross

Payment data: never taken, since the canal sells nothing.
Marketing email: only on your request, never otherwise.
Your data: never sold, never rented, to anyone at all.
Gambling operators: no sharing, and no gambling affiliate links.

Your UK GDPR rights on the cut

Access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing — and withdraw consent — whenever you like. Deleting your account on the account page wipes the account data at once; clearing this site’s data in your browser deals with the rest. To complain, contact the ICO at ico.org.uk.
