Readings kept on your account

Reading in the logbook	Why Abner records it	How long the reading is kept
Nickname	The name the hollow’s reels greet you by	Kept in the logbook until you delete the account
Email address	Matching your log-in to your almanac page	Kept in the logbook until you delete the account
Password hash	Checking a log-in while the password itself is never held here	Kept in the logbook until you delete the account
Sign-up date	Replies to messages and handling misuse	Kept in the logbook until you delete the account

Those are every reading we take. Abner never records a real name, an address, a date of birth, a phone number or any payment detail; the hollow sells nothing, so there would be no point. Passwords go into the logbook only as a one-way hash. Lawful basis: performance of a contract (running the account you requested). Delete the account and every reading on it is struck out at once; the button sits on your account page.

Readings that stay in your browser

Reading in the logbook	Job it does in your browser	How long the reading is kept
Jar balance, level, missions and game settings	Resuming the game you left	Until the browser’s site data is wiped
Age confirmation	Not repeating the cookie question on every almanac page	Until the browser’s site data is wiped
Cookie choice	Noting the consent answer you gave at the banner	Until the browser’s site data is wiped

These readings never leave your own device and are never sent to the station.

Google tags, switched on only after consent

Choose “Accept all” and Google Analytics and Google Ads tags begin logging visits and whether our adverts bring people in to play, such as a first spin being made. Google then receives your IP address, device information and those events. Choose “Essential only” and the tags run in consent mode instead, without cookies and without advertising identifiers. Lawful basis: consent.

Request logs at the station’s host

Our host keeps routine request logs, briefly, for security reasons. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.

Readings Abner will never take

Payment data is never collected; the hollow has nothing to sell.
Marketing email only if you ask Abner for it.
No reading of yours is sold or hired out to anyone.
No reading handed to gambling operators, and not one gambling affiliate link in the hollow.

Your rights over the logbook (PIPEDA)

At any time you may access, correct, erase or restrict your data, object to processing, or withdraw consent. Deleting the account from your account page erases its data immediately, and clearing this site’s data in your browser wipes the rest. If you wish to complain, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada is at priv.gc.ca.
