Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 26, 20231. Accountability at the Workshop
Alpine Automata Entertainment Inc. is strictly accountable for all personal information under our control. Although Cuckoo Clock Drop operates without requiring user registration, we respect your privacy profoundly. We have designated a Privacy Officer to ensure our compliance with PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation like Quebec's Law 25 and Alberta's PIPA.
2. Identifying Purposes for Data
Because no accounts are required to play Pendulum Drop, Gearwork Spin, or The Grand Chime, our data collection is minimal. We only collect anonymous analytics data to understand how visitors interact with our mechanical world and to optimize the delivery of free Brass Cogs. The specific purposes for any collection are always identified before or at the time of collection.
3. Meaningful Consent
By visiting Cuckoo Clock Drop and interacting with our games, you provide implied consent for the limited, anonymous data collection necessary to run the site. We will never collect sensitive personal information without your explicit, opt-in consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time by ceasing to use the platform and clearing your browser data.
4. Limiting Collection
We only collect what is strictly necessary to keep the gears turning. This includes basic session data to save your Brass Cogs balance locally on your device. We do not collect names, emails, or financial information, as our platform is 100% free and involves no real money.
5. Limiting Use, Disclosure, and Retention
Data collected by Cuckoo Clock Drop is never sold to third parties or used for purposes other than those identified. We retain local session data only as long as necessary to maintain your virtual balance of Brass Cogs. Once you clear your cache, that connection to the workshop is permanently forgotten.
6. Accuracy of Information
Since we do not maintain persistent user profiles or accounts, the concept of data accuracy primarily applies to your local balance of Brass Cogs. We ensure our codebase functions properly so your in-game currency is tracked accurately during your session, but we cannot restore lost local data.
7. Safeguards and Security
Our workshop is guarded by modern cryptographic safeguards. We use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect the transmission of site data. Even though we only process simulated gameplay for games like The Grand Chime, we protect our infrastructure against unauthorized access.
8. Openness About Policies
Cuckoo Clock Drop is entirely transparent about our privacy practices. This policy serves as a clear, accessible guide to how we handle the minimal data we interact with. If you have any questions regarding our compliance with Canadian privacy laws, you may contact our Privacy Officer via support@cuckooclockdrop.com.
9. Individual Access
Under Canadian law, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. Because Cuckoo Clock Drop relies on anonymous local storage to track your Brass Cogs, we generally do not hold identifiable personal records. However, we will respond to any legitimate access requests within 30 days.
10. Challenging Compliance
If you believe Cuckoo Clock Drop is not adhering to PIPEDA or provincial privacy acts, you may direct your concerns to our Privacy Officer. We investigate all complaints thoroughly and will take appropriate measures to amend our policies or practices if a complaint is found to be justified.
