Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2023

Accountability and Scope

Aether Sands Entertainment Ltd. takes responsibility for all personal data collected through Sahara Oasis Drop. We are committed to complying with PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy laws, such as Alberta PIPA and Quebec Law 25. A designated Privacy Officer oversees our data practices to ensure your information is protected while you play Dewdrop Descent or Dune Relic Spin.

Identifying Purposes

We collect information solely to provide and improve your experience on Sahara Oasis Drop. This includes saving your Aether-Drops balance locally on your device and tracking game performance to ensure fair play. We will clearly state any additional purposes before or at the time of data collection.

Consent

By accessing Sahara Oasis Drop, you consent to the collection and use of your data as outlined in this policy. Since our platform requires no registration, consent is implied through your continued use of our games. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser data, though this will reset your Aether-Drops balance.

Limiting Collection

We limit the collection of personal information to what is strictly necessary for the functioning of Sahara Oasis Drop. We do not collect names, addresses, or banking information, as our platform is completely free and requires no real-money transactions. Only basic gameplay metrics and device identifiers are gathered.

Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention

Your data is used exclusively for operating Sahara Oasis Drop and managing your Aether-Drops economy. We do not sell, rent, or disclose your information to third parties for marketing purposes. Data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the identified purposes or as required by Canadian law.

Accuracy of Information

Because Sahara Oasis Drop operates without user accounts, the accuracy of your gameplay data (such as your Aether-Drops balance) relies on local browser storage. We take reasonable steps to ensure our systems accurately reflect your progress in games like Dune Relic Spin, but we are not liable for data lost due to device resets.

Safeguards

We employ robust security safeguards to protect the data generated while you play Sahara Oasis Drop. This includes encryption and secure server infrastructure to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of your gameplay metrics. We continuously monitor our systems for vulnerabilities.

Openness

Sahara Oasis Drop is transparent about our privacy practices. This policy outlines exactly how we handle the minimal data we collect. If you have questions about how your Aether-Drops balance is stored or how our games operate, you can contact our Privacy Officer at any time.

Individual Access

Upon request, you may inquire about what personal information Sahara Oasis Drop holds about you. Given our accountless system, this is generally limited to local device data. We will provide access to any server-side data we may have linked to your device identifier within a reasonable timeframe.

Challenging Compliance

If you have concerns about our compliance with PIPEDA or provincial privacy legislation, you may direct your inquiries to our Privacy Officer via the contact email provided. We will investigate all complaints regarding Sahara Oasis Drop and take appropriate measures to correct any issues found.
