Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Identity of Data Controller

Welcome to Mystic Depths. Mystic Depths Entertainment Ltd acts as the Data Controller under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR. We are committed to protecting your privacy while you explore our site and enjoy games like Abyssal Reels and Trench Sweeper.

2. The Nature of Our Platform

Mystic Depths operates entirely without user accounts, registrations, or logins. We do not process personal data for account creation. All in-game progress and your balance of Lumina Cores are managed via local storage on your device.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

Where we do collect minimal data (such as IP addresses for security), our lawful basis is legitimate interest. We process this data solely to ensure the technical stability of Mystic Depths, prevent abuse, and maintain a secure environment for all users.

4. Data We Collect Automatically

When you visit Mystic Depths, we automatically collect basic technical information. This includes your IP address, browser type, and interaction data regarding your gameplay in Trench Sweeper and Abyssal Reels. This data is aggregated and anonymised wherever possible.

5. How We Use Your Data

We use technical data to optimise site performance and track the distribution of Lumina Cores across sessions. We do not use your data for profiling, automated decision-making, or targeted advertising. Our sole aim is to improve your free entertainment experience.

6. Data Sharing and Third Parties

Mystic Depths Entertainment Ltd does not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share anonymised analytics with trusted service providers who help us host the website, strictly under data processing agreements compliant with UK GDPR.

7. International Data Transfers

Our servers are located within the UK. If any technical data is routed through international servers (e.g., via content delivery networks), we ensure adequate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, as mandated by the ICO.

8. Data Retention

Since we do not hold user accounts, we only retain server logs and technical data for a maximum of 30 days. Your Lumina Cores balance and game history are stored locally on your device and are retained until you clear your browser cache.

9. Your UK GDPR Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of your personal data. You also possess the right to restrict processing and data portability. As an account-free site, we may require additional verification to identify any technical data linked to your device.

10. Cookies and Local Storage

We use local storage to save your Lumina Cores balance and cookies to secure the website. For full details on how we deploy these technologies and how you can control them, please review our comprehensive Cookie Policy.

11. Complaints to the ICO
