Who we are
Dino Drop is run by Robert Mackie, trading as Dino Drop. We are the data controller for the personal data described here, which means we decide how and why it is used. Contact: dinodrop125@gmail.com.
What we collect and why
- Game progress on your device — levels, stars, coins, gems, boosters, lives and settings are saved in your browser’s storage so the Game works. Legal basis: providing the service (contract).
- Account details (only if you sign in to buy) — email address, an account ID, and your name if you sign in with Google. Used to save and restore purchases. Legal basis: contract.
- Purchase records — which item you bought, a transaction reference and whether it was refunded. Used to deliver items once, restore Remove Ads and prevent fraud. Legal basis: contract and legitimate interests (fraud prevention).
- Anonymous gameplay statistics — level and feature usage, which you can turn off in Settings. Used to improve the Game. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
- Technical data — IP address, device and browser type, processed by our hosting and security providers to run and protect the service. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
Who we share data with
- Paddle.com — our Merchant of Record, for selling items, payments, tax compliance and invoicing. Paddle collects payment details directly; we never see your card number.
- Service providers — hosting, database, sign-in (including Google if you choose it) and, if enabled in future, an advertising provider for adverts and optional rewarded videos.
- Professional advisers (such as legal and accounting) where needed.
- Authorities, where the law requires it.
International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK or EEA. Where they do, we rely on safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
Account and purchase records are kept while your account exists and for as long as needed for tax, accounting and fraud prevention, then deleted or anonymised. Data on your device stays until you clear your browser storage.
Children
Dino Drop is family-friendly. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without a parent or guardian’s involvement. Signing in and purchases should be done or approved by an adult. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Cookies and storage
We use essential browser storage to save your game and keep you signed in. We do not use marketing cookies. Anonymous statistics can be turned off in Settings.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encrypted connections and restricted access to purchase records.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under UK and EU GDPR), you can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or move your data, object to processing, and withdraw consent. We reply within one month. You can also complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO). Contact: dinodrop125@gmail.com.
