Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 24 May 2024

1. Introduction and Identity of Data Controller

Welcome to Flamingo Pool Mania. Flamingo Pool Aquatic Entertainments Ltd is the data controller responsible for your personal information under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR. We are committed to protecting your privacy while you enjoy our free social games like Waterfall Plunge and The Flamboyant Whirlpool. If you have any concerns regarding your data, you can contact us at support@flamingopoolmania.com.

2. Lawful Basis for Processing

We collect and process minimal personal data based on our legitimate interest to operate the Flamingo Pool Mania platform securely and efficiently. Because our site requires no account registration, we do not process names or financial details. We only gather technical data such as IP addresses and browsing behavior to ensure the smooth delivery of your Aqua-Gems and to maintain site functionality.

3. Data We Collect

While you interact with our surreal aquatic resort, we automatically collect device information, browser type, and anonymous usage statistics. This data helps us understand how players interact with games like The Flamboyant Whirlpool. None of this data is linked to your real-world identity, as Flamingo Pool Mania operates entirely without user accounts.

4. How We Use Your Data

The technical information we gather is used exclusively to optimize the Flamingo Pool Mania experience and prevent fraudulent abuse of the Aqua-Gems system. We use this data to ensure our games run smoothly across different devices. We do not use your information for direct marketing, nor do we profile you for advertising purposes.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

Flamingo Pool Mania will never sell your personal data. We may share anonymized technical data with trusted service providers who host our website or provide analytics. These providers are bound by strict UK GDPR compliant data processing agreements and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

6. International Data Transfers

Your data is primarily processed within the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA). If Flamingo Pool Aquatic Entertainments Ltd ever needs to transfer data outside these regions, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

7. Data Retention

We only retain technical browsing data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Because you do not hold an account with Flamingo Pool Mania, session data related to your Aqua-Gems balance is stored locally on your device and automatically cleared when your browser clears its cache.

8. Your Data Subject Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of your personal data. You also have the right to restrict processing and data portability. To exercise these rights regarding your interactions with Flamingo Pool Mania, please email us with your request.

9. Information Security

Flamingo Pool Aquatic Entertainments Ltd implements robust technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access or accidental loss. We utilize standard encryption protocols to ensure that your time playing Waterfall Plunge remains safe and secure.

10. Complaints to the ICO

If you believe that Flamingo Pool Mania has processed your data in a way that violates UK data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint. You can contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk to report your concerns. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO.
