GDPR Policy

Last updated: January 2026 | Effective date: January 1, 2026

1. Introduction

This page explains your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Even though we are based in Canada, we respect GDPR for all our visitors, including those in the European Economic Area (EEA).

We keep data use to a minimum. Our social game is free and does not require accounts or sign-ups.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process data based on:

  • Consent: You choose to accept cookies and share data through our contact form
  • Legitimate interest: Basic site function like age verification and security

We do not process data for any other reason.

4. What Data We Process

4.1 Browser-Stored Data

We store small amounts of data in your browser (localStorage):

  • Age verification status (yes/no)
  • Cookie consent choice
  • Game progress (coins, achievements)

This data never leaves your device. We cannot access it from our end.

4.2 Contact Form Data

If you use our contact form, you share your name, email, and message. This opens your email client directly. We do not store this data on our website.

4.3 Analytics Data

If you accept all cookies, we may collect basic analytics data. This includes pages visited, device type, and general location. This data is anonymous and cannot identify you.

5. Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR, you have these rights:

5.1 Right of Access (Article 15)

You can ask us what data we have about you. We will provide a copy within 30 days. Since most data stays in your browser, you can check it yourself in your browser settings.

5.2 Right to Correction (Article 16)

If any data we have about you is wrong, you can ask us to fix it. Send your request to support@sablejuniper.com and we will correct it promptly.

5.3 Right to Deletion (Article 17)

You can ask us to delete your data. For browser-stored data, clear your browser data or cookies. For any data in our email records, send a deletion request and we will remove it within 30 days.

5.4 Right to Restrict Processing (Article 18)

You can ask us to limit how we use your data. We will stop processing it except for storage until the issue is resolved.

5.5 Right to Data Portability (Article 20)

You can ask for a copy of your data in a common, machine-readable format. Since we store very little data, this is usually just your email correspondence with us.

5.6 Right to Object (Article 21)

You can object to us processing your data at any time. If you object, we will stop unless we have a strong legal reason to continue.

5.7 Right Related to Automated Decisions (Article 22)

We do not make automated decisions about you. Our game uses random number generation for entertainment only. It does not affect your rights or create legal effects.

6. How to Use Your Rights

To use any of these rights:

  1. Send an email to support@sablejuniper.com
  2. Tell us which right you want to use
  3. Give us enough detail so we can find your data
  4. We will respond within 30 days

There is no fee for these requests. If a request is clearly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a fair fee or refuse it.

7. How to Withdraw Consent

If a data breach occurs that puts your rights at risk, we will:

  • Notify the relevant authority within 72 hours
