Privacy notice
What Thornhallow collects and why: no accounts, no cookies, no trackers; local storage only with your choice; contact notes kept for twelve months; your UK GDPR rights.
The short version
We collect as little as we can. There are no accounts, no cookies, no adverts and no trackers. Game progress lives in your own browser. The only personal data we receive is what you send us through Get in touch or by email.
Who is responsible
Thornhallow is the controller of the personal data described here. Contact us about privacy at privacy@thornhallow.co.uk.
What we collect
- Notes you send through Get in touch: your name, email address, topic and message, and the time it was sent.
- Emails you send us, with whatever they contain.
- Standard server logs kept by our hosting: IP address, the page requested, the time, and the browser's user agent. They are used only to keep the site running and secure, and are deleted within 30 days.
What stays on your device
Your age answer, your storage choice, any pause and your Clearing settings are kept in your browser's local storage, because the site cannot respect them otherwise. Your dew and Rings are kept there only if you choose Accept; with Reject they last until you close the tab. We cannot see any of this. The cookie and storage page lists every key.
Why we use it (lawful basis)
- Replying to your note or email: our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us.
- Server logs: our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and available.
- Keeping dew and Rings in your browser: your consent, which you can change at any time with Storage settings in the footer.
How long we keep it
Contact notes and emails are deleted twelve months after the conversation ends. Server logs are deleted within 30 days.
Who else sees it
Our hosting provider stores the site and its logs on servers in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. We do not sell or share personal data with anyone else, and we do not use it for marketing.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we use it, or ask us to restrict its use. Write to privacy@thornhallow.co.uk and we will reply within one month. If you are unhappy with our answer you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
Children
Thornhallow is for adults only and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you think a child has sent us a note, tell us and we will delete it.
