The minimal technical data we collect is used exclusively to maintain your virtual Sunseeds balance locally during your session and to improve website functionality. Your data is never sold or used for real-money gambling promotions.

5. 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 data portability and to object to certain types of processing while enjoying Harvest Joy.
