Welcome to Thames Arcade. This highly detailed and comprehensive Privacy Policy explains exactly how we collect, utilize, store, and protect your personal information when you interact with our platform.

- Information We Actively CollectWe adhere strictly to the principle of data minimization. We collect only the data absolutely necessary to operate your account. This includes your email address (provided voluntarily during registration), your chosen username, and encrypted password data. We do not ask for your real name, physical address, or phone number unless strictly required for a specific customer support query.
- Automatically Collected Technical DataWhen you navigate our platform, our servers automatically log technical information essential for security and optimization. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the pages you visit on our site, the time and duration of your visit, and crash reports. This data is aggregated and anonymized wherever possible.
- Purpose and Use of InformationThe collected data is utilized exclusively for core operational purposes. This includes maintaining your user account, securely saving your game progress and Pixel Coin balance, providing tailored customer support, and ensuring the technical stability of the arcade. We also use aggregated data to analyze player trends and improve our game offerings.
- Strict No Third-Party Selling PolicyWe firmly and unconditionally guarantee that we do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third parties, data brokers, or external marketing agencies. Your data remains strictly within the Thames Arcade ecosystem and is never monetized.
- Advanced Data Security MeasuresWe employ enterprise-grade, industry-standard encryption (such as TLS/SSL) for data transmission.

We regularly conduct security audits and vulnerability assessments to safeguard your account details against unauthorized access, data breaches, or cyber-attacks.

If we discover or are notified that such data has been collected, the associated account will be immediately terminated and the data permanently purged from our systems.
- Data Retention and LifecycleWe retain your personal data only for as long as your account remains active and functional. If an account is inactive for an extended period, or if you explicitly request account deletion, all personally identifiable data is permanently scrubbed from our active databases in accordance with our data lifecycle policies, leaving only anonymized statistics.
