Privacy Policy.

Shear Images Psl (“we”, “us”) runs shearimagespsl.com. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, where it is kept and what you can do about it, under data protection law.

What we collect

• When you sign up: first name, last name, email address and a password. Your password is turned into a one-way scrambled code (a hash) before it is saved, so it is never stored as you typed it. We also record the date you joined, your last sign-in and a count of failed sign-in attempts (five wrong tries lock the account for 15 minutes).
• While you are signed in: your coin balance, XP and level, when you last collected the daily bonus, and the last few games you opened.
• If you sign up with Google: your name, verified email address and Google account ID, checked by our server with Google. We never see your Google password.
• When you contact us: your name, email, topic and message.
• On your device: a record that you confirmed you are 18+, your cookie choice and a session timer, kept in your browser’s own storage (see our Cookies Policy).

Where it is kept

Your account is stored on our server as a protected file that cannot be opened from the web. Forms are processed on the server, and your details are never listed on any page or shown in a page address. We keep it until you delete your account from your account page or ask us to delete it.

Messages you send through the contact or support forms are emailed from our server to our support inbox. A copy is kept in a protected log on our server (name, email, topic and message) so we can reply and check the message arrived. We delete it once your request has been dealt with.

Account activity log: we keep a protected log of sign-up and sign-in attempts (date, type of action, result and email address). Passwords are never written to it. It helps us spot problems and misuse.

We never ask for or store card or bank details, because there is nothing to buy.

Why we use it

• To run your account, coins and level (performance of our agreement with you)
• To check you are 18+, and to keep the Site safe (legal obligation and legitimate interests)
• To reply when you contact us (legitimate interests, or taking steps at your request)

We do not sell your information and we do not use it for advertising.

Other services

• Google Sign-In, only if you choose to use it. Google’s own privacy policy applies.
• Our games load inside our pages from our own domain and may use their own cookies or browser storage.
• Our email provider delivers the messages you send us from our server to our support inbox.
• Fonts are hosted on our own server, so no font service sees your visit.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, restrict or object to how it is used, or ask for a copy. You can delete your account yourself at any time from your account page, which removes it from our server. Otherwise send your request through the contact form. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Children

The Site is for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you think a child has an account, please tell us and we will remove it.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including server-side forms, hashed passwords, protected storage and session cookies that scripts cannot read. No system is perfectly secure, so please choose a strong, unique password.

Changes

We will update this page if anything changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
